A member asked:
Is adhd related to motivation or willpower ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The paradox of adhd is that people with the condition will focus well on things that they enjoy but poorly on things that they don't enjoy. Motivation can actually get the point of hyper focusing on things that they enjoy to the total exclusion of everything else. Projects on the other hand often get started and are not completed. Best wishes.
