I'd like to know from anyone who is treated satisfactorily whether they have any symptoms that persist and resist treatment, and if so, which ones. Ideally, I'd like to collect enough data to produce some sort of statistics (not scientific, of course). Feel free to use any format and language you like.

For me:

  • The urge to fidget
  • Attention span, which is better but rarely exceeds an hour
  • Hyperfixation and hyperfocus

EDIT: Got hyperfixated, compiling the following JSON from your answers, so feel free if you want to follow the template :)

{ "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["fluoxetine", "methylphenidate XR"], "age": "30", "years_in_treatment": "3", "remaining_symptoms": [ "fidgeting", "hyperfixations", "hyperfocus" ], "attention_span": "60", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

Thanks, a lot of useful infos!

If you have time and if you want, could you please tell me if this entry works?

Also I avoided the "remaining_symptoms" part as I did not fully grasped which ailments are still a problem, and which are new

I think I might have also got the age wrong but is not necessary if you don't want to share too many personal info :)

"000004": { "diagnosis": "AuDHD", "treatment": ["Vyvanse"], "age": "24", "years_in_treatment": "4", "remaining_symptoms": [ "" ], "attention_span": "", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }
