Noticing ADHD in other people after starting medication is something many people describe, but it is more likely insight and psychoeducation after diagnosis and treatment than a proven perceptual drug effect. Medication has not been shown to give a special ability to see ADHD in everyone, and the exact reason this noticing appears is not fully understood, though new language for inattention, impulsivity, and restlessness is a common explanation. CAMH describes psychoeducation as the first step in adult ADHD treatment. FasTreat also offers private online ADHD assessment and ongoing care, depending on your needs and clinical assessment.
