The way it was explained to me, ADHD is caused by dopamine or a lack thereof, at least in part. That means emotions can get out of whack, easily overwhelmed, intrusive thoughts etc. Meds aren’t just legal crack to help focus. At least for me, they fix numerous symptoms.
I thought I was managing great without meds. Soon as I started them the entire world changed. They even got rid of the physical part of anxiety for me.
Good luck!
I learned a lot about it when I was getting my son help. Made a lot of sense for what he was dealing with, his brain not naturally creating the chemicals that would help with emotional regulation so it was from 0-100 without him having any opportunity really to get a handle on himself. Meds and significant amounts of time working with him on coping mechanisms have been life changing for all of us.
