It’s a treatment, ADHD has several pharmas it also uses to treat the condition, and counselling and other therapies.

To treat is the correct word.

Right, I might have been misconstruing the usage of the word. I’m just very sad of the quite common belief amongst neurotypical people that ADHD can be “cured” or treated with these “one simple trick” type of solutions.

Especially as the article in question only considers treatment of focus issues, when ADHD in actuality presents itself as a broad spectrum of difficulties that reach far deeper than simple focus issues in school.

What a strange comment. Quite common? And do ONLY neurotypicals have that belief? Would love to see the sample size informing this opinion.
