Can people in their 60s still respond well to ADHD medication?
I was recently diagnosed at 63 and wondering if medication typically works the same for older adults. Do you still see good results?

Yes. Many older adults respond positively to ADHD medication, even with late diagnosis. The brain remains responsive to neurotransmitter support across the lifespan.
Clinicians are usually more cautious with dosing and monitoring due to cardiovascular or medical considerations, but benefit is still very possible. Many people report improved focus, emotional regulation, and quality of life.
