I also discovered that treating my ADHD roughly solved my (chronic) depression, and made anxiety manageable. My anxiety was far past debilitating by this point, my life had basically collapsed. Kind of amusingly, my executive function improvements aren’t nearly as pronounced as most earlier diagnosees tend to report. I’m pretty much the same functioning-superhero-or-hyperfocused-trainwreck I always was. I just get a whole lot less anxiety from existing as that. Anyway, diagnosis and meds to treat it saved my life. Didn’t make me a lick more productive or better at controlling focus. They just let me be kind of at home in my body and brain and environment.
