Chose to come off of ADHD medications

Hello, a few months back I decided to come off of my ADHD medications because I was tired of the stigma that came with them. I feel like I struggle to get things done and I don’t know if I can attribute it to my ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, PTSD or a combination. I’m about to start seeing a new psychiatrist in a few months. I don’t know if I should bring this up to them.

I would be honest with them and open up, you don't deserve to be stigmatized.

You deserve to be heard and supported and to live a happy and content life 💛🤗

I was diagnosed with PTSD and most likely ADHD 2 years ago at 58 years old, I'm not medicated due to other health issues but talking with a therapist has helped, be open and honest with the psychiatrist.
