A member asked:
Can adhd medication really help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The thing about stimulants, and "adhd" medications is that they help those with adhd but they also improve the focus and concentration of people without the disorder. However particularly for people without the diagnosis, they can often experience more anxiety and tremor from the medication.
