Yes, ADHD is definitely a mental health issue. Just like how I have to keep my BP in check with regular visits and lifestyle changes, anything impacting the mind needs careful management. Don't ignore it.

Absolutely, it's a mental health issue. There's a lot of misinformation out there, but trust me, this is a real thing. If you think you or someone you know might have it, best to consult a qualified doctor rather than trying random remedies from the internet.

I can only share what I know from my friend's experience. He was diagnosed with ADHD and his doctor definitely treated it as a significant mental health concern. He's been getting therapy and medication for it.

Haan, it is a mental health issue. Plain and simple. Don't complicate it. If you have symptoms, go see a psychiatrist. They are the experts, not us on a forum.
