Question for mental health peeps: do you agree with the following sentence (and if not can you provide some counter-examples?): "First-line treatments for mental illness have remained largely unchanged in the last 20 years"

I've met a lot of people SO surprised to learn that stimulants don't work the same way for people with ADD or ADHD. Even ones as commonly consumed as caffeine. It's just processed differently in the brain.
Don't mistake YOUR experience with a drug as a universal one, NTs. ❤️
