[QUOTE="Giulia, post: 521624, member: 14306"] True for certain people. But not every person with ADHD can manage without medicines. I was and I am still in this case. Without medicines, I am useless, no matter how much I want to be useful. I can be useful at home [U]now[/U] because [U]I have the right treatment[/U]. Not every adult with ADHD can help at home without medicines. Not every person with ADHD can work/study without medicines. I am one of these persons. I am happy for you that you can function without medicine, but not all adults with ADHD have this ability. I help at home, I am able to do it [U]because I have now the right treatment[/U]. I can manage food shopping, my laundry, feed the cats, repair triple play box (TV, Internet, telephone) and computers. After having the right kind of medicine, these chores have even quite long to master for me. I am still learning how to cook and clean up and [U]for me[/U], it requires much. We cannot generalize your experience nor mine to everyone. Without medicine, I am useless. But before 25 years old, we had no diagnosis, nor the right treatment. I was given an antipsychotic because I desperately couldn't function without medicine, but it was absolutely not the right kind of medicine. So no, I couldn't help, nor having the success despite having all the will I could have. And psychiatrists didn't even know what darn did I have. But attention deficit was still there, still unable neither to cook, nor to clean up.... It was so debilitating that I couldn't even read a page of a book/magazine. Not een learning chores. Again, no one with the same diagnosis will be able to function at the same degree without medicine. I am one of these unable to properly function without medicine. There are adults who can. But other adults can't, and it doesn't mean they are "lazy", "wanting to get profit from their parents". It's not because you experienced success while having a severe ADHD and without medicine that all the adults with the same diagnosis will succeed without medicine like you. Again, I am happy for your success. But we cannot be scornful for these who cannot get the same success as yours. Not everyone has the same capacities, and not everyone will succeed like you without medicine. In my case, ADHD was so debilitating. And without medicine, it's still as debilitating to the point I am useless without medicine. [/QUOTE]
