I set up RSS a few months ago and do enjoy it.

The treatment would look different if it’s determined to be something else, for example: ADHD symptoms look very similar to what happens if you chronically get bad sleep, or if you’re too sedentary and your endurance is low, or if you are depressed/anxious and that is causing you to feel unmotivated or inattentive from the mental load, etc. But otherwise, if you are having “ADHD-like” symptoms, the same coping skills will likely help independently of the label.

I always encourage people to not put too much weight on a diagnosis to explain themselves, but rather as a more functional, strategic tool. As in, this isn’t a conclusive label that forever describes me, but rather the current strategy/approach that’s being used (sometimes for insurance or access purposes).

Sorry, I was being a bit hyperbolic, but this is my field of work and I have an ADHD Dx myself. The diagnostic criteria is such that the majority of adults who present to a clinician with complaints of inattention that is negatively impacting their life will receive the diagnosis these days (either from their GP, therapist, or psychiatrist).

My soapbox opinion is that the diagnosis, like many others, is more useful as a stepping stone to accessing treatment than it is as a conclusive source of truth about the person with the Dx in their chart. Being symptom-focused rather than worrying about having the label or not is more productive in my opinion.

There’s no point in getting the diagnosis unless it is a barrier to receiving treatment that you want. Pretty much anyone who seeks out the diagnosis gets it.

Your method is better, imo.

MIT is this way.
