Executive function issues are common with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and other things. So if it’s persistent, often worth seeking diagnosis/help.
A diagnosis still doesn’t make it go away

Correct.

But do you know what a diagnosis does?

  • Explains what you’ve been dealing with so you know it’s not a you problem, it’s a body problem. I grew up believing I was lazy and worthless. I still struggle with that, but my diagnosis helped a bit.
  • Unlocks trying coping techniques that can help
  • Unlocks trying medications that can help
  • Among other good reasons for a diagnosis.
