> I do not think that ADHD as diagnosed in most people is a real disorder. Undiagnosed and untreated ADHD (which is underdiagnosed and untreated in adults and especially in women) can be a debilitating condition that will fuck your life up deeply, and there's ample evidence about this from peer-reviewed medical journals (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195639/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4195639/, among others, look at the "The Impact of ADHD During Adulthood" section). Just because you managed to "sleep / eating / exercise" your way out of your situation doesn't mean that everyone else with ADHD is able to do the same thing. I’m willing to be critical of psychiatry, and there definitely are people who are diagnosed with it who don’t have it / don’t benefit from / don't need medication, but the "overdiagnosis" moral panic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/articles/17709814/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/articles/17709814/) causes real harm to people who actually end up needing medical access.
