Yes, because women were historically underdiagnosed. I wasn't diagnosed until 30 years old. Looking back, I had developed a ton of coping mechanisms to get through school, and relied on my IQ as a workaround of sorts. Once I started working, I floundered a lot and couldn't understand why. Getting diagnosed and medicated was life-changing and there's no way around that. I got promoted at work, left an abusive marriage, am no longer perpetually exhausted, and can regulate my emotions significantly better.
Pisses me off to no end when people rail against medication as if it's a one-size-fits-all problem that they don't like, but have no actual experience or education on the subject to draw from. I'm not saying it works for everyone, but I'm sick of people acting like patients being medicated is the problem.
attitudes like this is why people are scared of getting a diagnosis and/or telling people they have a diagnosis. Sure, for some people their symptoms might have been caused by screens, but that does not make what they struggling with any less real or less deserving of a treatment.

Your adhd medication still missed what I said unfortunately.
