From personal experience and from observing others with ADHD who have tried several types of treatment, medication most certainly does help and that claims that medication isn't any better than doing nothing in the long run are ridiculous. The problem is overdiagnosing and prescribing as a first option rather than using it as a supplement to behavioral therapy.

Then again, I rarely use ADD medication properly and use it to stay awake more than anything else, so what the hell do I know?
