I'm diagnosed with ADHD, and it's been a struggle. You can say that it's more a struggle now than ever, with the medication shortage.

With that said, I always found it interesting that many psychologists are extremely polarized on the so-called hyperfocus. One I spoke with said that hyperfocus is contradictory to ADHD, while another said that it is indeed something that many with ADHD experience. These were psychologists with decades of experience, and have diagnosed hundreds/thousands of patients.

Diagnosis has seemingly become very hard the past years, with the spread of social media and ADHD "influencers". Viewers become fixated on having ADHD, memorize symptoms, and parrot these when undergoing diagnosis.
