ADHD is underdiagnosed, not over diagnosed. That’s is a really bad myth originating from parents who refuse to believe that their kids are different.
It’s far from that easy to get meds and a diagnosis, you know. You need to take an evaluation that lasts at least 3 hours in total. You are effectively saying that doctors don’t know what they’re doing, and that you know more than the literal experts.

That wasn’t my experience at all. The meds definitely helped me but they also triggered high blood pressure, funky heart beats, and ultimately panic attacks. Then they gave me effexor for the panic attacks which made me twitch. There was no three hour eval for none of it. Doc just chatted me for like fifteen minutes about my struggles at work and gave me a script. I’m happy for those it helps but it took me years to clear that shit from my system. I rather forget half the shit I’m doing at any time than rely on meds again. Thankfully a few life hacks I picked up in Reddit have really helped me something serious.
