Can I actually claim ADHD assessment and medication costs as a medical expense on my taxes?

Paying a decent amount out of pocket this year between the assessment and ongoing medication, and I keep hearing people mention claiming medical costs on taxes but I'm not clear on whether ADHD-specific expenses actually qualify or how much this realistically saves versus just being a minor technical deduction.

Claimed mine last year, wasn't a massive windfall but noticeably reduced what I owed, definitely worth doing the fifteen minutes of receipt-gathering it takes rather than skipping it because it seemed like a hassle.
