Well, I wasn't trying to be toxic as a person with diagnosed ADHD myself, simply sharing that my brain thinks it can "beat" it by not resorting to any help( meds in this case) , which is why I used that analogy because it's similar to games, I do not recommend on skipping on help tho medicine exist for a reason, you are not alone and you don't have to fight it alone either.

Refusing to take medications out of some weird sense of pride isn't funny, it's self destructive.

For a nuanced perspective, some medications are indeed overprescribed, and you should be careful with your health.

thanks for this comment. its a common problem. I needed to literally have my partner encourage me for almost a year to finally see a psychiatrist to get treated. better living through chemistry, give yourself the conditions you need to thrive and take care of yourself/your loved ones. nobody is going to see you treading water and go "ah, so tough and brave to be doing that". grab a floaty!

I'm guessing the title is self-deprecating
