The way it was explained to me, ADHD is caused by dopamine or a lack thereof, at least in part. That means emotions can get out of whack, easily overwhelmed, intrusive thoughts etc. Meds aren’t just legal crack to help focus. At least for me, they fix numerous symptoms.
I thought I was managing great without meds. Soon as I started them the entire world changed. They even got rid of the physical part of anxiety for me.
Me until a year ago when I started seeking medical help (still no meds tho)
Ironically I have primarily inattentive ADHD (previously ADD) so youd probably find me spaced out rather than angry
I’d be a lot angrier if I was paying attention
