I have ADHD and do not do any medications and do not injest caffeine either. You really just need to exercise properly. If you start the day with exercise, and take a break mid day to exercise again, like going on a walk or jog, it’ll keep you feeling more focused and motivated. Diet matters a lot too.
You say, “You really just need to…”, then proceed to list a bunch of things I can’t make myself do without medication. I went 40 years trying things to avoid medication because of the stigma my family put on it, and getting medicated was the best decision I ever made.
You are right. I phrased that improperly. I should have said that those things can help. I was wrong to frame it as if it was a complete solution for everyone. I didn’t mean to speak for others experiences with their own mental health, and if they feel medication is what works best for them then I support them in taking it.
