A message from many of our Aotearoa rainbow orgs to trans rangatahi and their whānau right now: what this Government is doing is wrong, and they know it. We will always fight for your right to access the care you need.

Having a mediation on the last working day of the year is a very brutal way to end 2024.

This is something I think people need to understand.
ADHD meds are good at reducing symptoms of ADHD, but that doesnt usually correlate to an improvement in quality of life long term for most people.
Medication is a part of ADHD management. It is not THE solution.

Comparative efficacy and acceptability of pharmacological, psychological, and neurostimulatory interventions for ADHD in adults: a systematic review and component network meta-analysis
Stimulants and atomoxetine were the only interventions with evidence of beneficial effects in terms of reducing ADHD core symptoms in the short term, supported by both self-reported and clinician-reported ratings. However, atomoxetine was less acceptable than placebo. Medications for ADHD were not efficacious on additional relevant outcomes, such as quality of life, and evidence in the longer term is underinvestigated. The effects of non-pharmacological strategies were inconsistent across different raters.
