I don't know how well you've got a handle on your symptoms, so it's impossible to say.

In my case mine got worse within the last few years. A cortisol response to chronic stress, it felt like i lost all the gains of willpower and responsibility i had gained, and returned back to my struggles of my youth.

Finally accepted i needed help and am still finding my way, but i just feel more normal now. I never would have given in if i had some semblance of function, my old man's stubborn distrust of doctors of any sort rubbed off i guess.

For me, it gets rid of the worst of the 'static' running around my noggin, let's me focus without feeling like I'm flexing a muscle, and gives me a lot more oomph to complete tasks i gotta do without my brain flashing the danger sign.

Im just getting started mind you, perhaps I'll find more changes as i get further along this trail
