    If you really think you need to be medicated, try different doctors until you find someone who specializes in ADHD. The rest have no clue what they’re doing and regularly try to treat the symptoms of ADHD (such as depression about how much your life is coming apart due to ADHD) instead of the cause.

        If you don’t need medication, then a diagnosis doesn’t has much more to offer honestly. The same stategies you can discover without a diagnosis as well. Look for ADHD meetups in your area perhaps, or ask around here or in [email protected]

            Perish such thoughts. None of us cares to ensure your “adhd purity”. If you feel you find value from adhd coping mechanisms, then you are welcome to the knowledge

            Believe it or not most people with adhd are pretty accepting of other people. I’ve never seen anybody with adhd try to gatekeep.

            I hope you find what you’re looking for :)

        Have you tried contacting a Behavioral Health Clinic? They mainly treat addicts or chronic mental illness, but they’re qualified and a distinctly separate profession from psychotherapists.
