Should I get diagnosed? - eviltoast

I strongly suspect that I have ADHD, but I can’t see the benifit of getting diagnosed.

I know that if I get diagnosed and offically have ADHD I can get some medicine but I don’t think I want that in any case.

Can you share your experience and what benifit you got from getting offically diagnosed?

    Get diagnosed, it only has benefits. Don’t read things on the internet unless it’s an official medical website. I have had depressions because I just wanted to be normal, but with my diagnosis and proper education about it (no Facebook groups, TikTok or other bullshit self diagnose/tips and tricks liars), medication and of course therapy with a psychiatrist I got a great life now (steady job, wife and daughter, own house… ) which before my diagnosis wasn’t gonna happen.
