I completely agree with this analysis however, in my case, telling myself to get the correct medication for my ADD, that only got diagnosed last year (age 25), at an earlier stage would have resulted in me feeling like a real functioning human much earlier on and I can only imagine how much better off I would have been. In the months since I was medicated properly, I have lost a lot of weight, found a bunch of things I am passionate about and actually persued them. I've become a 1000x more productive, I have a much better time remembering things, become a lot more confident around other people and I don't deal with anxiety nearly as much any more. If I had all that from earlier on I often wonder where I would be today.
