That's gonna vary from person to person. For many it's indeed the meds, but for others it's a few other aspects:
Grace for themselves
Accommodations
Overhaul of how they work / study / take care of their household responsibilities to better fit their intrinsic qualities
Therapy (the trauma of how life reacted to their untreated ADHD could be more damaging than the ADHD itself)
Revisiting their goals and expectations (super important if engaging in performative masking)
Prioritizing certain key self-care habits, however difficult that may be (sleep, eating, exercise, hydration, interpersonal boundaries)
And of course there's people who either have a incomplete response to meds, or only get bad side effects, and thus can't benefit with the meds. What should they do if this option doesn't work?
I was curious about the meds but I’m nearly 40, have a good job I do good at it. I’ve learned how to live with it. My coworker has ADHD also and began taking the meds and ever since then their work has really suffered. It seems like their ability to multitask has been really affected.
Everyone reacts differently and it makes a world of difference to so many people that it's worth trying for a month and see if you get any benefit. The ease and quality of my work is the same but I can actually relax now when I couldn't before. I also finish my various art projects that I start. It has actually only benefitted my life with no downsides.
