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?

    I was diagnosed eighteen months ago. I knew I needed medication. It’s helped for sure but it hasn’t fixed everything and I am about to try a higher dose. Aside from the medication, I wanted to understand why I was different and why I had so many difficulties.
