I feel like there has to be other under explored methods of treating ADHD aside from medication. I’ve yet to find any for myself, but am also incredibly hesitant to medicate my symptoms away. I’ve tried stimulants in the past and was left feeling like I traded one issue (lack of concentration and executive function) for another (racing thought and elevated heart rate).

I do see CBT mentioned, but only as an adjunct to medication. Another commenter here mentioned NLP which I have never heard of prior. Will take a look into this as well.
