Does an ADHD Diagnosis Make Symptoms Worse?

Getting diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can’t help but be life-changing. But can going through the diagnostic process somehow make your ADHD symptoms worse?

A number of our Patrons have claimed that after they were diagnosed, their symptoms got worse. How is that possible?

Are their symptoms actually worse? Or does it just feel that way?

In fact, both may be true. Learning you have been living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder can be overwhelming. You may feel stunned and disoriented, making it harder to pay attention, follow conversations, and stick with tasks.

At the same time, you can’t help but be aware of how often you tune out, lose your train of thought, interrupt others, or fidget restlessly.
