Agreed. I'm definitely the "target" of this article, as I've just recently been diagnosed in my late 30s with adult ADHD. I feel like I've shown the signs during my childhood - poor grades due to poor attention span, constant fidgeting, and emotional irregularity due to hyperactivity and my impatience of others. Only recently have I thought to actually see anyone about it, as I've started seeing similar signs in my daughter.

Reading through the article, it definitely highlighted concerns I had about my process: lack of available providers (to the point that many wouldn't even accept a call from a new patient), essentially forced to use online services, relatively short discussions before treatment, and ultimately being prescribed stimulants.

Overall, I'm glad I started this process. I definitely feel better on the medication, to the point where I'm able to effectively track my daily tasking, keep cohesive notes, drastically reduce my unintended verbal interruptions of others, and churn work out without context switching so often. I obviously can work without the medication, but it's absolutely a night and day difference to me. Ultimately, I just hope that the progression of the adult ADHD diagnosis and discovery continues to mature, and online services aren't completely cut off from the space.
