Absolutely. And that’s something that any good doctor will discuss and monitor. And generally medication is combined with other treatments like CBT to learn to cope better, because medication doesn’t magically fix people. But stimulant meds still don’t deserve any more stigma than glasses. For those who take it as part of treatment of a lifelong disability. Edited to add: Btw, try playing squash or go swimming with kids. Suddenly your glasses aren’t the perfect solution that they may otherwise seem to be and they become yet another tool, like having the kids wearing bright swimming clothes so you can spot them in a crowd. But you’re right, we’d love for ADHD meds to be as effective and universal as glasses, but they’re not. Probably because ADHD isn’t a single condition, but a spectrum of conditions with some overlap. So expecting a single treatment to take away all symptoms is a fantasy.
