Hi, I'm not the best example of success, but if I can give one piece of advice from experience alone, it is that when it comes to ADHD something even better than medication is to have someone to talk to who not only understands you but supports you. I didn't have that with my parents, and I feel it would have made a huge difference in my life. I'm sure things will get better for you.

Not what you're looking for?
