I am a 64 yr old woman with a recent diagnosis of ADHD and using medication AMA.
I keep reading that ADHD doesn't exist, is blamed on SM, doom scrolling, bad behaviour.....
I want to help inform people about the existence of ADHD, to say that its been around for a long time and does have a serious impact on the individual.

Very right, People tend to reject this but ADHD is a real issue and the individuals carrying it knows what baggage it really has.
