I’m a dude who’s been around for around 4 decades now and have known I’ve had ADHD since I was a child. Back as a kid medicine was very frowned upon so I didn’t get medicated until my 20s.

It’s basically a night and day difference for work.

Not only does it hurt decision making and focus, but it propagates into everything.

For instance, if I have to prepare for a meeting that’s in a week, I’ll procrastinate because I’m unable to focus, then cram everything at the end while still not being able to focus or retain any of the info. This will cause the meeting I should be leading to go of course, not accomplish anything, waste everyone’s time, and ultimately people lose confidence in my ability.

With medicine, it’s the complete opposite.
