The advantage is you’re no longer doubting yourself. Self diagnosis is not sufficient.

That makes it easier to select therapy that specifically suits ADHD. For me, It also lead to me actually using self help practices and trying to read books on it. A diagnosis gave me a framework to base my path to improvement on.

A diagnosis also demonstrates to others, that you’re not just lazy.
