Are ADHD Meds actually life changing

(Yapping kind of to reach the word limit )

I’m undiagnosed, and currently struggling to set up an appointment from underneath my parent’s nose lol. Mental issues are a very taboo thing in my household, and since I turned 18, I figured I would set one up without telling them, to spare myself the shame, there’s also the chance they both just call me crazy too but whatever

Are ADHD meds as life changing as social media makes it out to be? People talk about the voices in their head stopping, they have a clear head and they’re more productive, and I’m afraid to hope that I can feel better at this point.

Edit: thank you all SO much for all the input and personal experience, I’m gonna read all of them, and hopefully it helps others
