The silent struggles of workers with ADHD
I just started working with a new team a few weeks ago.<p>So far I&#x27;ve had &quot;nice to meet you&quot; calls with six or seven of the people on this team.  And nearly half of them mentioned &quot;by the way, I have ADHD, just so you know.&quot;<p>And since I share so many characteristics with these individuals, now _I&#x27;m_ wondering if I have ADHD. Certainly the never-ending Instagram ads want me to think so.  Or is this becoming a blanket term for &quot;I&#x27;m easily excited and a bit weird&quot;?<p>Personally, I went almost my whole life with mild depression and didn&#x27;t even know it - I just thought depression happened to other people, and that what I felt was normal. Then when a doctor gave me the questionnaire during a routine checkup and put me on SSRIs, it was basically life-changing.<p>So I wonder if this is another case of that?
