Is there any way to manage symptoms without medication? Both of my brothers have ADHD and my therapist suspects that I do, too. However, I have a history of abusing adderall and being addicted to it. I don't want to ever take a prescription stimulant again and no doctor would prescribe me one anyway because of my history.

Medication is just one facet of the treatment/management strategy. That said, there are some other medications that wouldn't be as easy to abuse, but only you know your body.
