> I think you'll get much more out of addressing the core problem -- I don't know what that is for you, but with therapy you may find out. See a good psychologist who is experienced with ADHD.

How do you know that the OP hasn’t tried that already?

“Therapy” is not the panacea many people make it out to be. If it works for you, great-but others are not guaranteed to have the same success. And poor results are not necessarily because the therapist wasn’t “good” or “experienced” enough-even with the best therapists one can still have poor outcomes, and that isn’t necessarily the fault of the client either, psychotherapy has its inherent limitations, and no therapy can be 100% effective

At the same time, therapy is not the failure that many people make it out to be. If it failed for you, ok, but others are not guaranteed to have the same failure.

It is a tool. It works well for people whose problems fall nicely into the toolkits that the therapy industry has evolved to treat. If this is run-of-the-mill ADHD, it can help. If it is something else, it might not.

Therapy can also peel away layers of problems. If you have a slew of problems, maybe therapy won't solve everything, but it will help you identify a few problems that you can fix, easing the burden to find other tools to solve the other problems. Some problems also have a multiplying effect on each other, so a partial solve of your concerns may make the rest livable.

I'd say if someone truly wants to improve their life, it is worth trying the tools available to them. If they work, great - if not, try something else.

It's not either-or :) And it might help someone else who hasn't tried therapy.

And here's a very interesting talk about effectiveness of said therapy.
