ADHD and depression

[@erlenken]

I'm a 55 yo male who got diagnosed with ADHD a year ago. Before that I had burnout, depression etc. It's true that people used to (and still tend to) focus on boys being a disturbance in class and just taking that as the prototype of ADHD which has the inattentive girls overlooked. But in the new wave of looking at the girls and women with the inattentive expression of ADHD we overlook the quiet boys who don't reach their potential and end up being diagnosed as a middle aged men who struggled all their lives at school, college, work, family and get diagnosed after burnout, depression, substance abuse etc. That frustrates me a little.
