While I think medication is a valid option, Im not sure I would use it as the first option, unless I had a licensed therapist/psychiatrist give a diagnosis and medication recommendation. It’s entirely possible I just need a change of routine or environment, but everyone does has varying situations and medications is one option that I think (I don’t have any sources haha) proves effective!

My dude, you have a physical condition that alters how your brain functions and don't want to see a doctor.

You're downplaying how serious your condition is. Go see a doctor. There's a reason why medication rocks for 3/4 people. It fixes your body just like a cast would for a broken arm.

children with ADHD have fewer symptoms after finding the correct stimulant medication and dosage. Stimulants are considered controlled substances, which means they have the potential to be improperly used or cause substance use disorders.

I’m sorry, please correct me if I’m wrong, but where did I say that I’m opposed or don’t want to see a doctor? All I pretty much said is that there are a variety of options and that I would like a professional recommendation before assuming medication is the best solution for my situation. Please be careful with assuming other people’s health situations and making false accusations in the future.

Thanks for proving me right I guess? Nowhere does that say I do not want to see a medical professional.
