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)
Get diagnosed, it only has benefits. Don’t read things on the internet unless it’s an official medical website. I have had depressions because I just wanted to be normal, but with my diagnosis and proper education about it (no Facebook groups, TikTok or other bullshit self diagnose/tips and tricks liars), medication and of course therapy with a psychiatrist I got a great life now (steady job, wife and daughter, own house… ) which before my diagnosis wasn’t gonna happen.
