Very serious Is ADHD real? Or is it (((THEIR))) newest scheme?

TRVTHNVKE or Jewish Trickery? I think I have it but psychiatrists keep saying I'm just LE DEPRESSED but it's pretty bad idk... even when I'm not depressed I can barely pay attention even when people are talking to me... I do spend a lot of time reading bullshit on the internet but even then... I can't really "focus" on one subject (as evidenced by me having 6 gorillion tabs open at all times...). it was tolerable up until now but a recent LIFE-ALTERING, CATASTROPHIC event has occurred due to this bullshit and now i wanna get it fixed. also i hear anti-depressants fuck you up so i dont wanna take them

ADHDGODS, any symptoms you would like to share so i know what to tell my psychiatrist next time so that we can bond over our common struggle o algo?

It's fake, boredom is normal and they just want to give kids meth

Say
"I really want to do lots of work/assignments/chores/etc that I think would be the right thing for me to do, but if they are not mentally stimulating enough and novel enough for me, I almost physically can't do them. I find myself having difficulty paying attention or getting enough satisfaction to even leisure things I like to do, if they aren't good enough at holding my attention. It is excrutiatingly difficult to focus on something I don't want but need to do."
That should pan out well for you
I am diagnosed, albeit it was as a child. I have these symptoms very much so. But, I sometimes wonder if they are from outside forces, like prolonged use of my prescribed stimulants or perhaps even the attention span destroying nature of short form content and the internet at large.
The stimulants give me mental energy, sometimes enough to even engage in smalltalk like a normal person without utterly despising it. I am also much better at applying myself to things on the stimulant
