    ADHD Myths

    Uploaded by

    ADHD is a real condition that has been described in medical literature for over 100 years. While symptoms can improve, most people don't "grow out of it" and gifted students can have ADHD too. Medication alone is not the only treatment for ADHD and the goal is not to turn kids into mindless drones but rather help manage symptoms so they can be their best selves.
