> your pdoc is doesn't know what she is talking about. it's as simple as that. talk therapy can work for personal life problems but not medical conditions. when something is wrong with someone's brain they need medication and only medication will help that problem. I really think you should try to find another pdoc to try and get yourself a stimulant.
Adamie - Talk therapy, depending on the kind, can definitely help medical conditions. Cognitive therapy can help people learn to cope with their disorder, thus improving their quality of life. It can also help to change a person from a victim of a disease, and empower tham to take control of the disorder, rather than the disorder controling them.
