The problem with ADHD imo is that it's studied surprisingly poorly so diagnosis is a crapshoot.
Like bloody hell I was told at a young age "You have ADHD, take these pills" then years later it was "Wait no misdiagnosis you have Autism not ADHD stop taking pills" and it fucked me up hard
And only recently the doctors figured out you can have BOTH ADHD and Autism and *guess what I had both*.
Not me taking a dig at other people with ADHD, I just think the diagnosis system is a dumpster fire because of stuff like the aforementioned "Autistic people can't have ADHD" which fucked me up for YEARS.
Sorry I just needed somewhere to rant/vent about my own problems tbh

we need some kind of brain scan tech to just tell us what just what kind of fucked up brain chemistry we have. right now it seems like the primary diagnosis method is just taking a smorgasbord board of different meds until (hopefully) one of them clicks.

Your rant-rage is valid.
