This is sort of the thing. Everyone I meet with ADHD has some similarities, an a lot of nuanced differences and lots of their own little tricks and methods for dealing with it. Many of them have therapists they believe have had a positive effect on them. Many have medications that they believe have a positive effect. That may or may not be true depending. Whatever seems to be working is whatever they're evangelizing and while I'm glad that mental health is becoming more accepted and discussed, I wish treatments/rituals/coachings/medications were left up to the patient and whomever they chose for professional care

Therapy helped for me until it didn't and then medication did and still does. That's just me. My nephew struggles with medications. It's so easy just to get an initial reaction with mental health issues, and then want to evangelize whatever stimulated that reaction, but this stuff is nuanced. There's all kinds of variables commonly shared and some not so common.

Anyway, be cautious of telling people what they grasp with personal health issues, they likely just don't grasp your particular flavor. But with regard to this website, I'd be cautious in general.

It reeks of excited evangelizing done by someone who's way of interacting with the world is business and computers.
