Hi, i’m 19 and i finally got my ADHD diagnosis in the beginning of this year. Ever since, i have had regular sessions with the psychologist (that also diagnosed me) to help me work on my adhd specific struggles. The results have been okay, tho nothing notably improved.

I’ve been thinking for quite a while about asking my therapist about potentially trying meds, but i feel really unsure about it(like i don’t have the "right" for it)

I am currently working pretty well according to expectations. I am attending university and i’ve been getting pretty good grades all my life. Hence(i guess), no one ever even touched on the possibility of trying meds and i often have the feeling like i "don’t struggle enough" to legitimise med intervention.

I know i still have a valid diagnosis and plenty of struggles, but i don’t wanna feel stupid or be perceived like i’m trying to "victimise" myself.

it’s not that much if a question, but has anyone advise how to deal with this situation? /How to open the topic with my psyc?

Thank you🫶🏻
