Ancestors did not manage ADHD, depression and anxiety without meds; they suffered all that morbidity, crushing distress and dysfunction just had to tolerate.
I see it every day in my patients & families carrying generations of untreated pain through alcohol, asylums and early graves until meds finally gave them some peace.
Treatment is not weakness. It is progress.
How did our ancestors survive without ADHD medication or depression pills and anxiety meds? Can anyone explain?
