I see your downvoted but I agree. Workplace "success" is a metric but not the only metric in life. And if you decrease the focus on that metric I think you would find some darker sides. Downvote away.

I don’t take it for Workplace Success. I take it for life primarily. I like that adderall helps me do laundry and plan trips and dates with my girlfriend. Without it I tend to stay “in the moment” and never look towards the future.

If you think ADHD only affects your workplace success, you're incredibly ignorant of ADHD.

ADHD damages one's life in way more contexts than just work.

some people cherish their neurodiversity. it doesn't feel appropriate to make this broad generalization about a psychiatric diagnosis.

I have not found any conflict between enjoying some parts of my ADHD and admitting that is has had damaging effects on many areas of my life from work to self esteem to rock climbing to romantic relationships.
