Speaking as an almost-40 whose ADHD was untreated until recently: Contrary to your suggestion, being almost 40 did not make the process of navigating the medical labyrinth (Canada) to get assessed/treated any easier. Almost like I had an attention disorder or something.
rofl. hard to find a mental health professional who takes our insurance (US) and has any idea how to help.
if it was easy, id have sought help decades ago. love how people think "oh man its such an easy solution" when it is, in fact, a lot of work. My fiance had periods that lasted months, and not a single doctor would even consider looking at root causes "have you considered that maybe its all in your head?" getting the right treatment is in no way easy, especially when its a mental disorder that you can "cope with".
