I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult by an overzealous psychiatrist and was prescribed stimulant medication. It certainly helped me overcome certain issues and become more productive, but it absolutely didn't help with my actual mental health, actually worsening it in several ways (insomnia, irritability, impatience). I later came to realize my focus and productivity issues could be addressed more effectively and healthily without medication. This is of course my own personal experience and is in no way meant to erase actual, clinical ADHD, the "genetic" kind that others have mentioned. Simply providing my own anecdotal experience as requested.
