Doesn't really get much better at 50 either
it gets a lot better with treatment
Will have to take your word for it as I am unable to get treatment at present
yeah I feel that. you can still read books though. I like "Driven to Distraction". there's also a decent YT channel called HowToADHD. Just try to use resources from trained clinicians or that woek closely with trained clinicians
What's the treatment? Adderal?
stimulants are a powerful tool for adhd treatment, more so than other MH disorders, but there are a lot of things that can be done: supplement behavioral change (think cbt) , support the needs of the lifestyle adhd brings (think "life hacks") , address secondary effects such as learned shame (think trauma therapy) , and so on and so forth. oh and cant forget the importance of MBIs to actually improve executive functioning. I'm going to use the acronym for that one since what it stands for has become such a buzzword that it might turn you off, but it really is a remarkably powerful tool for adhd when done with proper guidance
What is MBI? Not everyone knows.
