You may avoid labels and I understand that but labels are important. Or at least diagnosis are important. If you are not ADHD there is no reason for you to be taking Adderall.
I used to avoid labels too, but how can a pdoc know how to treat someone without a proper diagnosis (a label). How do I know how to treat myself without labels. I have a history of addiction (a label) and they know it, so it would not be a good idea to give me Adderall.
