MODERATORS
What's called 'untreated adhd' in this image is in fact just normal personality traits that most people experience.
Just like everyone gets sad but not everyone gets depressed, everyone experiences ADHD symptoms but only some have ADHD. It is about the frequency and severity of the impact on your life.
Everybody pees, but if you're doing it 80 times a day there's probably an issue.
