When it prevents you from doing day to day tasks, or even tormenting enough to make you depressed most of the time, then it clearly starts being a disorder. Otherwise, it’s just normal human behaviour.
I think I should emphasize the “clearly” part but yeah, the symptoms can appear from before it being a disorder. If you have any suspicion that you may need help, it’s never hurt to check with professional. After all, having a false positive is better in this case than speculation.
Mine were symptoms before the acronym existed, so yeah. Also, it can definitely be a challenge to find the right mental health professional, so the phrasing’s a bit off. “It’s wise” would be better.
So every personality is ADHD?

“Starts”, heh. 😅😶

An ex of mine, working as a therapist once stated: “It’s a personality trait until it causes disorder, at that point it’s a disorder.”
The pun only translates semi well from German, but yeah, while oversimplifying it’s a nice rule of thumb.
it works fairly well in english, but I cant imagine the german original
“Es ist ein Persönlichkeitsmerkmal bis es stört, dann isses ne Störung.”
