I want to emphasize that while medication certainly has incredible benefits, no credible psychologist would Ever tell you that it is sufficient. Behavioral change/cognitive working-out is Always a necessity for greatly successful outcomes.

Consider kids with ADHD that are high on the scale. With medication alone they had a ~70% reduction in hyperactive AND attention deficit scores. With cognitive-behavioral treatment alone they had a ~30% reduction in issues. Using traditional community support services alone, these children had a ~25% reduction in issues. When combining medical treatment with cognitive-behavioral therapy, children with ADHD had a ~95% reduction in attention deficit and hyperactivity.
