A diagnosis makes sense if you believe it will improve things. A key criteria is that the issue is negatively affecting your life. This can be in subtle, non-obvious ways. There's no obligation to be on any sort of medication, but having the option never really hurts. Knowing is more than half the battle, if only to make coping skills much more effective (if you have it you are likely coping without realizing it). You are in control here. Unless you desperately want to be a pilot, in which case getting a medical is now difficult. Though wanting to be a pilot with even a mild executive function impairment is IMO disqualifying for poor judgment anyway. Personally, the stimulants helped quite a bit along with an improved ability to cope. YMMV.
