ADHD meds can help, but they’re not the whole solution. Learn how medication works, what it doesn’t do, and how to build lasting skills for success.

When I was first diagnosed with ADHD, one of the big questions I had was why me? Did I just draw the short straw, or was there something deeper at play? Like many of us, I quickly learned that ADHD isn’t about laziness, bad parenting, or “not trying hard enough.” It’s a neurodevelopmental condition, and genetics plays a huge role in shaping it.
