I got diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago, and it has remained a shit show since then. It was a shit show before, but now medical appointments and crazy restricted medicines have been added to the mix (I ran out of an addictive antidepressant this weekend, not fun). It feels like everybody agrees I'm sick but nobody has an effective treatment for me. I went to see all the doctors who accepted to see me (it's not that many, the appointment system is made to fend of patients, not help you see a doctor), nobody had any magical insight. I lost the best job of my life because of my inability to stay on track.
These system is a civil rights disaster that needs to be torn down. If you can keep fighting it, continue.
I'm never going to get effective treatment, essentially due to doctors that wanted to bring a shitty attitude to the workplace.
In other words, I've literally never even been given the first line treatment.
