I’d like to know from anyone who is treated satisfactorily whether they have any symptoms that persist and resist treatment, and if so, which ones. Ideally, I’d like to collect enough data to produce some sort of statistics (not scientific, of course). Feel free to use any format and language you like.

For me:

  • The urge to fidget
  • Attention span, which is better but rarely exceeds an hour
  • Hyperfixation and hyperfocus

EDIT: Got hyperfixated, compiling the following JSON from your answers, so feel free if you want to follow the template :)

{ "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["fluoxetine", "methylphenidate XR"], "age": "30", "years_in_treatment": "3", "remaining_symptoms": [ "fidgeting", "hyperfixations", "hyperfocus" ], "attention_span": "60", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

    Thanks for sharing!

    Would you agree that the entry could be like:

    "000002": { "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": [""], "age": "", "years_in_treatment": "", "remaining_symptoms": [ "excessive talking", "hyperfocus", "rotating interest", "doom scrolling" ], "attention_span": "", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

    ? For statistics purpose of course, as stated in the post. Also feel free to (or to do not, is just a little interesting game) fill the rest of the details :)

      Attention span: Improved dramatically with the medication.
