Yes. The parallel being that "you just need to focus more" would work for some people but not others.
First time I took medication for ADHD. It was absolutely shocking to experience focus on something I didn’t find highly interesting. I normally associate boring to being worse than almost all physical pain.
Maybe just below when I had a kidney stone.
Having that “pain” taken away was amazing. I can focus better without meds now that I know what it’s like. No where near as with meds. But still a big improvement.
That program works for some people, doesn’t work for others. It’s not any sort of standard that gets handed out universally by treatment programs, though.
