I related a lot to him while watching the show, absolutely everything. I now know why, I’m 100% sure this character just has undiagnosed adhd and that’s why he does all the crazy shit, the drugs, the constant dissatisfaction with his life

    It’d be downright irresponsible for a medico to diagnose someone with ADHD when they have so many other untreated mental health conditions. Especially considering the most common treatment for ADHD is amphetamines.

    If he still portrays some of those symptoms after his substance abuse and depressive issues are stabilised then sure, go ahead.

    Everybody’s problem with this post is what’s being taught to doctors, psychologists. There are many illnesses with similar symptoms. When diagnosing and treating an individual, you have to dig deep, past the surface level problems, to see what the real problem is. That way when it comes to treatment, the person can be treated more effectively.
