At the same time, therapy is not the failure that many people make it out to be. If it failed for you, ok, but others are not guaranteed to have the same failure.
It is a tool. It works well for people whose problems fall nicely into the toolkits that the therapy industry has evolved to treat. If this is run-of-the-mill ADHD, it can help. If it is something else, it might not.
Therapy can also peel away layers of problems. If you have a slew of problems, maybe therapy won't solve everything, but it will help you identify a few problems that you can fix, easing the burden to find other tools to solve the other problems. Some problems also have a multiplying effect on each other, so a partial solve of your concerns may make the rest livable.
I'd say if someone truly wants to improve their life, it is worth trying the tools available to them. If they work, great - if not, try something else.
