you don’t have ADHD, you’re just immature. 

your parents, education, and society have failed you. now you are too distracted and unserious to improve yourself, so you seek quick solutions like drugs.

As someone who has been dealing with ADHD/learning disabilities since grade 4 - from the bottom my heart, shut the fuck up.

My parents and teachers did everything in their power to help me when I needed it the most, and I would not trade that for anything.

I’m 25, have an amazing life partner, job, dog and everything I could ever wish for, all without the use of medication.

Saying it’s a quick solution is a cop-out when SO FUCKING many people with DIAGNOSED ADHD do not have access to them.

Let’s dive into some not so fun facts:

- Neglecting ADHD treatments causes a 19% increased risk of death.
- Adults who are not diagnosed with ADHD as children see a 30% increase in risk of anxiety and depression compared to their peers.
- Teens who have ADHD who are left untreated are 2x more likely to abuse substances.
- Young drivers who have untreated ADHD are 3x more likely to cause car accidents.
- People with ADHD are FIVE TIMES more likely to commit suicide

Shut up about shit you don’t know about.
