If you repeat this same message to anyone from USA, you will be instantly diagnozed with ADHD with a year's supply of medication.


You won't be given a year's supply of medication.

You will be cursed with years of calling every pharmacy in town once a month to figure out which one has your medication in stock this time, and once you figure that out, you stay on the phone with them until you walk into the store to pick it up so they don't give it to someone else.


Plus now a lot of doctors are requiring drug tests to make sure you're taking it, but not too much, and not taking other drugs, including legal ones.


I deeply regret not getting diagnosed as a kid

I got diagnosed at 19

I went from having never read a fiction book cover to cover to finishing DFW’s Infinite Jest

I still did remarkably well in English in highschool, because luckily reading skills =/= writing skills
