Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
(lemmy.world)
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" }
That's the trouble with ADHD. There is no cure and all we can do is treat symptoms which can vary widely from one patient to the next.
