I feel like I have untreated ADHD, but at this point I have no idea how exactly to get the proper help and sometimes I am too afraid to ask. What should I be looking out for in finding treatment?
What's called 'untreated adhd' in this image is in fact just normal personality traits that most people experience.
The difference between adhd and neurotypical people though is the debilitating nature of these things. It's the level at which it impairs normal life and the extra toll it takes on everything you do.
