This is incorrect. Due to a number of reasons, including but not limited to: traumatic brain injuries, extreme compounding anxiety and/or depression, or PTSD could all cause symptoms that align perfectly with ADHD. even if those initial problems could be fixed, the brain works in such a way that the behavior that aligns with ADHD may not be so easily fixed once an individual has done it for so long.

Edit: this is just unprofessional opinion. Go see a doctor if things are interrupting your daily life.

That doesn't make it adhd. For example, you can have obsessive or compulsive tendencies without having OCD.

Plus, the symptoms of adhd are things that everyone experiences, which is why this sub is so relatable to so many people.

🤷‍♂️we're debating on something that isn't fully understood by anyone completely, which is the brain. Official research is inconclusive due to lack of enough research. Inconclusivity doesn't equal exclusivity.

But I digress, this person should see a medical professional so they can get professionally evaluated and find a treatment that works for them.

Anyone relying on internet comments with no evidence of a medical degree is just asking to misdiagnose themselves and have a bad time.
