I strongly suspect that I have ADHD, but I can’t see the benifit of getting diagnosed.
I know that if I get diagnosed and offically have ADHD I can get some medicine but I don’t think I want that in any case.
Can you share your experience and what benifit you got from getting offically diagnosed?
Edit: for future readers, I got diagnosed and can confidently say that the right drugs, and the awareness of my own struggles as a neurodivergency and not just laziness or whatever, has made a significant difference. Get diagnosed, try Straterra imo (atomoxetine)
Formal diagnosis has made little difference to my life. Nothing bad has come from it, but nothing much has changed either.
I still don’t have meaningful access to medication. Even when I do have medication, all it helps with is maintaining focus. It doesn’t help me initiate things or stay organised, which have been my main barriers.
