ADHD is a disease. You have to go to a doctor to get diagnosed with it. You have to take medicine to be treated for it. It’s studied by medical schools and described in the DSM. It’s genetic and terminal, so the medicine never heals you, unfortunately. It sucks, I know, but it is definitely a disease. No, you can’t “catch” it, but you can’t “catch” Type 1 diabetes either. That is also genetic and terminal.
Terminal in the way life is terminal?
