A lot of people with ADHD that have success with medication can tell you that it's not just about work.
It also helps with non-work stuff that's just not fun to do, such as chores or filing your taxes. It even helps you stick with hobbies you actually enjoy but your brain gets bored of.
Don't tell me psychiatrist but I take my addon Ritalin at night so I can play games or read a book. I just can't do it without it
