Interesting.. I briefly attended HSG for a Master's program but left shortly because I was treated during undergrad for ADHD in the USA, and not having the same treatment options in Switzerland, I couldn't begin to learn how to focus again and hope to pass the courses. One day while walking the streets of Zürich, I saw a protest with many people against ADHD medication and signs advocating banning Ritalin.

Glad you seem to be figuring it out while still young. Lots of good life ahead. I'm like you but it took years on Adderall before I started to figure it out, and recovery (from depression, or not taking care of oneself properly, or addictions, I don't care to slap a label on it) -- recovery comes from within, no pill magically cures those problems with the 'self'.

I do agree with medicating ADHD, though. When I first started treatment (~7 years ago), I felt like I was finally on an equal playing field with my peers -- I could use my brain normally/efficiently.
