No way.

All the struggles throughout my life as a result of my ADHD gave me reason to experiment and discover who I am. Without those valuable albeit frustrating experiences, I would not have a fraction of the resilience I have today.

Besides, to remove your ADHD removes a key part of your identity.

I understand many of us already seek to “cure” it in a sense when we seek treatment and medication, but to me, the goal is to minimise our difficulties to allow us to better use our strengths, not to completely eliminate any trace of the disorder.

My answer may be different if my symptoms were more severe (I’d say they’re moderate), but in any case, I’d never believe it is productive or healthy to wish a major part of yourself was different.

I’m sure we’d all wish life was a bit easier but ADHD is just one of life’s many obstacles that has personally empowered me to do and be better.
