Whether you "officially" have ADHD or just the symptoms, it's not your fault. It's your responsibility.
Everyone who has some mid-level psychological issue that compromises their productivity, social life or happiness should try to improve it through a simple, healthy lifestyle (meditation, exercise, proper nutrition and sleep, and minimal screen time) before falling back on a label or pill that let's them cop out of the hard work of personal improvement.
Note: I'm not talking about people with severe, crippling disorders. Those folks should probably do these things in addition to whatever medical regimen they need.
I partially agree with you. What angers me is the fact that your comment reads like it's a simple issue of will and everyone has just to decide on doing this. Not like it's kind of part of a lot of (not so crippling but still) disorders to sit there, do nothing and scream internally about not being able to do something about it. It's very hard work to change something about it. And your comment does not acknowledge this..
Sounds a bit like my dad saying 'walk it off' .
While I can speak first hand of the ruinous effects of ADHD medication and the need to approach them with care - even avoiding them if it's reasonable to do so, I disagree this one-size fits all approach - although I think it's applicable most of the time.
