My girlfriend was diagnosed with bipolar in her childhood and her whole life was a cycle of new prescription drugs and stop taking them when she realized they change her way to much without helping a lot.

I basically diagnosed her with ADHD (no specialist) we found out someone else already did before me but they never looked into it (mostly because you can barely mix meds for bipolar and adhs)

So essentially we got her a ADHS specialist who confirmed my idea and gave her ritalin.

Totally new person. It's 100% her, not 30-50% her depending on the day. They just started to even stop other medications to focus on ADHD more.

Point is: Yes it's somewhat new, and yes it likely would help a lot of people.

I too have ADD but I don't like amphetamines so often. I essentially went the way to turn my life upside down to build my own environment I enjoy to work in.
