Wiznitzer says the new findings underscore the importance of treating ADHD in adults as well as children – not just with medications but also with behavioral therapy that teaches strategies to manage executive function problems that are a hallmark of the condition.

Edit: sorry not a meme but I think it is important to remember to take care of yourself and basics. Water 💧 Exercise 🏃 Food 🥘

Medication 💊 help but it is not the solution for behavioral change.

It's the driving that's going to get me.

I try very hard not to drive without medicine in me because I make the dumbest mistakes. There's a lot of damage to my car where I've backed into pollards and things, and every single dent was from a time I wasn't medicated.

honestly i don't think there can be that much of a difference to just being in a car in general, just existing on the roads is one of the most dangerous things you can do.
