I strongly suspect that I have ADHD, but I can't see the benifit of getting diagnosed.

I know that if I get diagnosed and offically have ADHD I can get some medicine but I don't think I want that in any case.

Can you share your experience and what benifit you got from getting offically diagnosed?

Edit: for future readers, I got diagnosed and can confidently say that the right drugs, and the awareness of my own struggles as a neurodivergency and not just laziness or whatever, has made a significant difference. Get diagnosed, try Straterra imo (atomoxetine)

If you're in a state with red flag laws, that might mean you wouldnt be able to fully enjoy your rights. Keep that in mind.
