it will take EFFORT
In some ways, that's like telling a person suffering from a growth problem to just make the effort to be taller rather than taking growth hormones. Maybe someone with a spinal injury should just make an effort to heal. Maybe someone with Parkinson's should make more of an effort not to stutter and twitch.
The reality is that many of the behaviors you'd like to believe are strictly efforts of will are composed of complex chemical interactions in the brain that can be hampered or helped with the addition of other chemicals.
Some things can be altered through effort, but completely dismissing the proven medical condition some people suffer from is inappropriate when discussing matters of the brain.

FTFY As for chemical imbalances, yup, many suffer from extreme divergence and undoubtedly need therapy and meds. There are, however, a lot of 1st World hypochondriacs and lazy folk, as well. People who sit sedentary for large blocks of their daily life consuming input that requires little effort and yet gives them a sensation of drama/humor/fear/lust is absolutely consequential to how their brains develop over time. I'm yet to meet an ADHD person who cannot muster the will power to never miss their "shows" or spend countless hours with a game controller in their hand...
