I'm surprised by that impression as my understanding was that it was "generally accepted" that a combination of therapy and medication was more effective in treating ADHD than either alone.
- rtpg 8y agoSorry, the comment was more that behavioral therapy _alone_ is very ineffective according to a lot of research out there. Granted, the funders of such research are... well... If you have to chose one or the other, medication will be much more powerful, but the combo is the best. But trying to fight ADHD with just CBT is a massive uphill battle once described to me as "asking someone who needs glasses to see to train their way to better vision"
