Medication is one of many tools available to people with adhd.
ADHD isn’t a lack of focus, it’s a lack of dopamine. We don’t get satisfaction from completing tasks like neurotypical brains do. We also are unable to form habits or listen to our body when it signals “im hungry” or “im tired” until it’s an emergency.
Medication helps correct a chemical imbalance. If you had a broken leg, you would have a cast and crutches. If you cut yourself, you’d get stitches. This is the same thing: a tool.
