Are you affected by ADHD? Do you know someone really close to you affected by ADHD? I am really frustrated by regular people with affiliation to the tech industry at best and stories about chemically induced productivity enhancement "lifestyle" experiments to question the existence of the condition. I am right there with you when it comes to criticizing prescribing stimulants to anyone on a whim. I can say that here in Germany any typical diagnosis includes submitting early school year report cards to establish the fact that what the patient is describing as lived experience was already recognizable during child/ early teen years. I can say that getting the diagnosis and access to medication has been absolutely life changing. I am 30 years old. I can say that having talked to other adults who were diagnosed late, they mostly share this perspective. People are really suffering and anyone discrediting that fact is piling on top of said suffering for literally no reason.
