    In a few cases, there was simply no diagnosis. One adult who thought she had ADHD and had been prescribed stimulants by another doctor got a different take from Saul. He advised her to instead return to her habit of exercising regularly and cut back on work hours. “I now realize it wasn’t ADHD,” she told him later, pleased with the progress she made as a result. “It was just life.”
my guess is that a large percentage of people diagnosed with ADHD could see similar outcomes with lifestyle changes as opposed to drugs.

I have a family member that takes Adderall and I'm not convinced he needs it. I think it's become more recreational if anything.
