How can an ADHD diagnosis affect your professional life?

December 4th, 2011 | by admin |
X asked:


I just want to know if this will affect my life in the future - as in: Will it be harder to get a job if my employer asks to see my medical record and notices the ADHD diagnostic? Does it even go into my medical record?

I’m not asking how the ADHD itself will affect my job, so don’t bother answering that question. I just want to know if I will be discriminated against when trying to get employed. And if it would just be better not to go see a psychiatrist.
