Its not a great look if the only treatment you accept is the stimulant and everything else "doesn't work".
Its alwas stressed that ADHD treatment needs to be multimodal even tho its sort of bullshit (meds are really all you get, you're sort of on your own for therapy and lifeskills stuff. There's no ADHD store or doctor thats gonna take you under their mentorship). That what podcasts are for heh
I would say don't thumb your nose at it but don't accept only that as treatment. Meds are a keystone to helping mediate your abillity to actually implement everything into your routine
