I just want to give my opinion on that phrase. Cause this phrase is the first phrase some ppl will throw at u when they hear ur believes.

I think its funny how they will use the word gatekeeping instead of ‘relying on a good professional diagnosis’ to make it sound worse.

But hell yeah we should ‘gatekeep’ it! Thats how medical conditions work. U get diagnosed, u get help and then u get medication.

The mainstream tocute believe is that we should just give everyone medication straight away. Cant u hear how dangerous that is? Like replace it with any other medication.

Should everyone who ‘thinks’ they have adhd just take adhd medication with no diagnosis? Should everyone just easily get that?

Ofcourse not.

YES we should ‘gatekeep’ aka leave it to professionals. HELL YES.

How in the world can u hold the believe that everyone should be able to get all medications without any requirements? Medication HEAVILY impacts ur daily life. It can kill you. It aint a piece of candy from the candy store. Just bc hormones saved YOU doesnt mean theyre saving everyone. As well as it can save lives it can destroy lives.

I just dont understand how they cant see that… leave diagnosis to professionals, not to reddit strangers.
