ADHD is a lot more serious (at least the kind that I have) than a lot of people commonly supposed. It has made my entire life a shambles. Plus, it commonly comes with comorbidities, particularly the more severe varieties. If I didn't suffer from some form of endogeneous depression, I would be depressed anyway at the havoc these disorders have wreaked on my life.
