To be fair i have adhd (as child and adult now) but my doctors always agreed that stimulants arent necessary.

I think this is the main cultural difference, not that its underdiagnosed

Is this because it's looked down on?

Are you able to function perfectly as a normal adult? i.e. all the symptoms from the top posts are in check through habits, etc?

If so, what's your secret? Because just living is very difficult and that's WITH vyvanse+2 energy shots per day with l-tyrosine, taurine, b6, b12, b3 and at least a little l-theanine per day.

No not really. More because i dont really like getting hyper and there is no job i have to wake up for everyday to unholy times. In my last real job i took amphetamines (dextro*) but that made my general mindset worse. Ritalin made me straight up dont like myself anymore. I too take l-theanin, b-stack and ashwagandha everyday these days.

I am far from a perfectly normal adult. I never tried getting there tho
