I learned of ADHD symptoms through a friend who got diagnosed and I've had other friends since recognise similarities and have asked me how I got evaluated

Sucks that there's people milking it for clout or whatever but it makes sense it's a word of mouth thing, I was never made aware of its existence or it's symptoms in school or anything. If you go by my education the only mental disorder that exists is depression

As for depression that has seemingly turned out to have been a side effect of untreatment. I've been sad or unhappy and all the normal down emotions but the depression basically dropped to nothing. Anxiety is falling away slowly too

I'm in the UK too so it's like a tenner a month for the prescription, probably not a money thing here at least

Similarly to how self diagnosis isn't the way don't self-undiagnose yourself either if you're suspecting something, ask a doctor rather than a web forum

I clicked on your HN profile and saw on your blog that you got diagnosed with ADHD this year. Congratulations on your diagnosis. I have ADHD and it absolutely sucks. I'm glad that you can finally get treated for it :)
