Fresh air and exercise are great for kids stuck in a digital world, but are not cures for ADHD. Meds will keep you focused, but will not make you do something you don't want to do, trust me on that one!
Meds won't make up for lack of sleep, digital addiction, bad diet, or dysfunctional home or office environment. Those items must be sufficient in order to benefit from meds. The majority of medication serves to facilitate communication in the Brain's pre-frontal cortex, which is the key issue experienced in ADHD brains.
You are reinforcing my point. Meds absolutely won't make up for all those unnatural factors that are introduced and never addressed. Those factors should be addressed first but my suspicion and point was that, in our world of quick fixes and instant gratification a pill is more suitable than addressing the root cause of whatever the ailment is. It is the easy way out.
