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?

The medicine helped me get rid of anxiety that plagued me for years. I'm more in control of my life than ever before. That's why I did it.
