Wonder how the rate of undiagnosed ADHD is...

Too damn high.

Last guesstimate I saw was something like 10% of the population in total. Which is pretty reasonable as a population adaptation that outlived its usefulness.

probably high, and the rate of unwarrented diagnoses also must be high. and people that get misdiagnosed as bipolar. borderline, and binge eaters. must be high among women, as far as i understood.

met one chick that was clear as day 100 % adhd, I sniffed that out the second time i met her. they said she was bipolar and put her on bipolar meds she absolutely hated to take.

i tried to explain it to hear, and had to give it up, she was in total adhd denial,. and i knew it was pointless.

if you would need a picture for an adhd book, you would take her. everything fit, she also had a chaotic raging alcolholic as father, and would self medicate with canabis and alcohol.
