ADHD Stimulants Are Not a Study Drug (and More Treatment Truths) โ€œADHD treatment isnโ€™t about โ€˜curingโ€™ us. Itโ€™s about giving us the tools and support we need to thrive in a world that isnโ€™t designed with our brains in mind.โ€

Panel 1:
A hand extends a single red brick toward the character. The character looks surprised and slightly sad as they reach out to take it. Text: โ€œItโ€™s hard for people to understand why small comments can make me so emotional,โ€
Behind the character, thereโ€™s already a small pile of red bricks on the ground.

Panel 2:
The character now holds the brick close to their chest, looking down with a pained expression. The pile of red bricks behind them has grown into a large heap, stretching far into the background. Text: โ€œbecause they canโ€™t see how many times Iโ€™ve been criticized for the same thing, over and over again.โ€

A cartoon brain drives a car on a chaotic road surrounded by signs labeled "Emails," "Projects," "Meeting," and "Reports," depicting stress.

Unfinished tasks look messy from the outside. Inside your brain? Itโ€™s just mid-orchestra, tuning between songs.

For ADHD brains, task switching isnโ€™t a graceful gear shift. Itโ€™s more like trying to change lanes with the parking brake on.

Hereโ€™s the thing: thatโ€™s not failure. Thatโ€™s wiring.
