Ask HN: How did an adult ADHD diagnosis help you?
Anyone reading this should be extremely skeptical of internet strangers recommending drugs that gave them &quot;superpowers&quot;, changed their life, etc. Taking these drugs will make <i>anyone</i> feel more focused, motivated, etc because these drugs are strong stimulants that cause euphoria, focus, and bursts of energy.<p>Anecdotally, I&#x27;ve seen a huge uptick in posts of the format &quot;how an ADHD diagnosis changed my life&quot; on Reddit, TikTok, HN, etc. Talk to your doctor about your issues and concerns but don&#x27;t forget the incentives of pharma companies to push these drugs on as many people as possible.
