  • Since you got the answer you were looking for. I’d like to address this:

    My doctor said if I have ADHD, that it’s not bad enough to do anything about.

    That response is just awful. How would they know? If they knew the bare minimum about these types of conditions, then they would never say anything like that (i.e. masking symptoms to try to ‘fit in’ and such). Otherwise, if they don’t know enough about the subject, then they shouldn’t be acting like they do. A doctor should be familiar with saying something like “let me look into that more.”

    Undiagnosed and unmanaged ADHD (and/or autism and general anxiety disorder, which are comorbidities) leads to a drastic increase of the likelihood of developing drug abuse and addiction, and even an increase in mortality rates and decreased life expectancy (link) among other issues.
