How Does Medication Work?
The standard protocol for attention issues has traditionally been medication. The role of the medication stimulates the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is associated with pleasure, attention and movement. Medication is meant to treat the symptoms but are not targeted at correcting the cause.

Can Medication Fix the Problem?
Medication does not cure attention or focus issues – it merely treats the symptoms for as long as you are taking them. Some people experience great success with medication, others do not. A long-term solution requires a different kind of intervention.
