A diagnosis might help you get something like medication which does actually help.
I agree that if you don’t plan on taking medication there is no need to seek a diagnosis. Unless you want to get involved in ADHD support groups and stuff, where you’d (imo rightfully) draw some errant looks if you admitted you’d never been diagnosed with it.
For me the medication is life changingly effective so I’m very glad I got formally diagnosed at 25
- falcolas 4y agoI was once in the "no medication" camp. Even without medication, a diagnosis can get you: - Help via CBT and other thereputical techniques. - Knowledge of what's imposter syndrome and what's a real issue you're facing. - Allowances (the legally required ADA type) at work.
