You still need treatment and therapy.

ADHD is not a mental health disorder and doesn't require treatment. Treatment can be good for people who are having a difficult time with it, but it's entirely optional.

    ADHD is a psychosocial syndrome, meaning that it may be problematic depending on the social context. If the situation is such that it causes problems to the person, then it should be considered a disorder.

    Definition of a disorder includes the fact that it's a problem to the person experiencing it.

    ADHD is legally considered a disability in my country. It very much is a mental health disorder. I mean it literally hinders you from living your life to the fullest.
