Seeing ADHD in everyone around you after starting medication is a common report, and it is more often a change in what you know how to notice than a proven medicine-driven change in perception. After diagnosis, psychoeducation, and living with treated symptoms, inattention, impulsivity, and restlessness become easier to recognise. CAMH lists psychoeducation as the first step in treating adult ADHD. FasTreat also offers private online ADHD assessment and ongoing care, depending on your needs and clinical assessment.
