Ep. 35 - ADHD Treatment Isn’t Just About Medication

Send a text

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder gets talked about like a disease, but it’s more complicated than that. Dr. David Gross and Dr. Andrew Rosen pick up their conversation by unpacking the controversy around ADHD, what it actually means for kids and adults, and why it’s better understood as a disorder within a neurodiverse spectrum rather than a life sentence.

They walk through what treatment really looks like. Medication can be helpful, sometimes very helpful, but it’s not a magic fix. They talk honestly about stimulant and non stimulant options, how they work, the realities of side effects and monitoring, and why patience matters. Just as important, they highlight the piece that often gets missed: skill building. Time management, organization, and learning how to replace self defeating habits can be just as critical as any prescription.

There’s also space here for the emotional side. The quiet kid who falls through the cracks. The class clown who becomes the black sheep. The adult who carries years of believing they just weren’t smart enough. The message isn’t woe is me. It’s deal with what’s there, build the right environment, and help people reach their potential.
