Dr Russell Barkley called it the diabetes of the brain to explain how devastating it can be if left undiagnosed || unchecked, and also how easily treatable it can be given the right environment/medications/therapy compared to other disorders.

But ADHD sometimes brings along other "friends", creating toxic and messy feedback loops between each other, making it not so easily treatable after all.

You may get ADHD alone, and still being hurt given how an EF/SR dysfunction can create all kinds of side effects not visible related to ADHD.
