There Are No Skills in Pills - 126

DrB's most provocative episode — and one of the most important. She is not anti-medication, and she makes that clear. But she will not pretend that medication is enough. This episode draws a definitive line between what medication can do (create a window, reduce static, improve focus) and what it can never do (build skills, rewrite identity, heal shame). If you've been medicated for years and still feel like something is missing — this episode will tell you what that something is.

Key Points Covered

• What stimulant medication can genuinely do for ADHD adults
• What medication cannot do — and why this matters so much
