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" }

    { “diagnosis”: “ADHD”, “treatment”: ["lisdexamfetamine ", “sertraline”], “age”: “43”, “years_in_treatment”: “25”, “remaining_symptoms”: [ “fidgeting”, “hyperfixations”, “hyperfocus”,“executive dysfunction”,“interm memory disorder”,“depression”,“racing thoughts” ], “attention_span”: “45”, “record_date”: “31/05/2024” }

    Super useful insight and thanks a lot taking time to compile the statistics! Inserted :) Also, I agree medication is not the holy grail and that’s why I am compiling this for-fun statistic: while awareness has increased, ADHD is still way misunderstood often
