Leaving ADHD untreated can do significant damage to your health, too.

This is something people just don't appreciate at all. ADHD is shortens life expectancy by 12 years on average. I imagine it runs the gamut from addiction problems, accidents, suicide, obesity, ignoring health problems until they snowball etc.

I'm certainly guilty of that last one. Since getting diagnosed I've been making a point to never leave a health problem ignored. Sure, it might take 6 months to a year for me to eventually book the appointment, but I'm getting them under control at my own pace.
