>> The medication is part of a treatment regimen, but it shouldn't be the entirety of one's treatment regimen.

I'm sorry you struggled, but I think you misinterpreted my post. I never suggested that people must go medication-free, or that therapy is the only option.
The point is that optimal medication treatment still requires effort to learn healthy habits, facilitate self-discipline, and improve one's ability to focus.
If you need medication to begin that process, so be it, but taking medication shouldn't mean that you neglect the self-improvement aspect of this. The medication can be a springboard, but it's a mistake to give up on self-improvement and hope that medication can do all of the heavy lifting.
