[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some do, maybe. I didn’t. I do not believe ADHD is curable. Stimulants are a treatment, not a cure. [/quote] Stimulants are definitely not a cure. I think the reality is there is no cure. But as with a lot of chronic illness, diet, exercise, learning executive functioning strategies, working with a psychologist on emotional regulation, etc are excellent coping/ compensation strategies. And impulse control improves with prefrontal cortex development, especially in boys. So people learn to manage their symptoms to a greater or less extent as they age. To the point many adults no longer need medication. I’m adult ADHD and sometimes I am medicated and sometimes not. When everything is as normal, I can compensate. When a lot is going on— say a new baby and a move, I reach a tipping point and need medication. [/quote]
