Q: Are there medications for treating executive function issues?
So this is the thing with meds – they help with some things, but they don’t change your life overnight.
A common expression you’ll hear is, “medication is like putting on glasses.” But as soon as it wears off, you’re still you.
A little more dopamine across the synapse might make it easier for you to start on a task that feels overwhelming. Or maybe with the meds, you are better able to pause and choose your next move. MAYBE.
What’s that expression … results may vary? It depends on you and your specific set of challenges.
Medication is one tool in a larger treatment plan for executive function disorder. You’ll still need to develop emotional and life management skills, and those things come with time and support.
Hope that helps!
