Why is no one trying to find a CURE?
From my research, it seems that science is constantly looking for ways to treat ADHD but not looking for a cure or ways to prevent ADHD from happening in the first place. WHY?!
Treatments to help us until a cure is found are great. And yes, the more treatment options available, the better. But why is no one trying to find a cure?!?!?! WHYYYYYY?????
Seriously, scientists, please work on a cure! And also, preventative measures!!! If no kid ever had to have ADHD again, you'd save a lot of kids from debilitating depression and worse.
I'm a 41F with a great job, beautiful home, supportive husband, etc. and I still regularly hate myself for not being able to function normally. Taking 4-5 different medications plus caffiene just to get through the day and still barely accomplishing the minimum is exhausting and unsustainable. I'm so tired.
Scientists, please go beyond treating the symptoms, figure out the reason for the problem and fix it!
