    I think the reason so many people are diagnosed with ADHD is related to how our society looks like.
    I wouldn’t even consider it an illness or defect. Our brains are just wired differently.
    In the past, this would have been beneficial for the survival of your tribe. But if you live in a modern city and work in an office, it makes you unable to deal with the challenges you normally face.

    Even just 30 years ago, the pressure to work efficiently and the hustle culture were much less pronounced than today.

    Whenever I am out in nature hiking, hunting or kayaking, I don’t have any issues motivating myself and don’t feel like anything is wrong with me.
    But in daily life, I barely function without meds.
