"ADHD is now fashionable. Social contagion drives this"

Profile of Philippa Perry, rather more interesting than the clickbait headline suggests.

It's funny that I've just asked a question if anyone takes ADHD medicine and how it works for them.

I will answer here for convenience, but I have been taking ADHD meds for 12+ years. I would say I am a pretty severe case as in, within moments of meeting me you would know I was quirky.

It makes me a functional adult though I feel it does stifle my creativity in a way. But off my medication, that creative drive may meander about yielding very little.

Lately I have felt I rely on the medication more to be productive when I know best practice is skills before pills.
