I think I might have ADHD. Please advice me

Not much to go on, get evaluated by a psychiatrist and then work on getting either or both medicines or therapy to help you manage it.

Unless you have something more specific that you can say about why you think that you have ADHD or if there’s something you need help with, that’s about as far anyone can tell you.

To add, autism is comorbid with ADHD, and they can appear like or compound each other. Definitely something to have a professional diagnose.

You aren’t lazy. Laziness is just a term we use to shame people who aren’t doing what we want them to do. There are always reasons people don’t do stuff.

For people with ADHD, it’s often down to executive dysfunction. But there are other reasons.

Real. My mum always called me lazy and said I need to be ambitious. I’ve always been more ambitious than anything, I’ve js been unable to act on that ambition most of the time.

Some should be in parentheses for true ADHD (or so I have heard)

Talk to a professional and see if you can get a formal diagnosis… it’s worth it.

Could you please elaborate on how it is worth it? For being able to get the medicine, or did it help you understand yourself better, etc etc?

It provides access to medication, therapy, self comprehension, and, depending on your area, disability support.

if you don’t want to/can’t go to a psychiatrist, the book “Driven to distraction” was recommended to me. I think it was quite good for me and my partner.
