I was diagnosed with ADD a while ago by my psychologist and since then, I’ve done research on it and it’s explained a lot of why I think the things I do or do the things I do. However, when I decided to tell my friends about it, they all mentioned that it’s an outdated term and it’s not a real mental disorder. I searched it up and did find out it’s an outdated term but nothing about that ADD’s fake… I’m starting to worry though if it is.
I mean, from the analysis I took with my psychologist, it showed that I had each sign of ADHD except for the hyperactivity so meaning I had ADD. I feel like I’m lying to myself whenever someone tells me it’s not real or that I’m seeking for attention when they tell me it’s not real and it makes me feel so invalid and lost because I once thought I had the explanation. Does anyone else have ADD or been though this before? Or can anyone else help me with this?
