Diagnosed at 58 — is starting medication still worth it at my age?

My daughter's assessment is what did it. Sitting in on her feedback session, listening to the psychologist describe her patterns — I drove home in silence and booked my own. Diagnosed last month at 58. Now the question my pride and my pragmatism are fighting over: is starting medication even worth it at my age? Part of me says I've white-knuckled six decades, why introduce chemistry now. The other part wonders what the next twenty years could feel like if things were... easier. For the clinicians: does treatment effectiveness change meaningfully with age? And what additional health screening actually matters before starting stimulants in your late 50s — heart, blood pressure, interactions with the boring pills I already take? BC, and yes, my daughter finds this whole development extremely funny.
