I am shocked by the responses on this thread. It is clear just by reading this thread that there is a problem with treating ADHD. Research shows that the most effective treatment is a combination of medication and behavioral coaching. However, most people can not afford behavioral coaching, and insurance usually does not cover it. A founder encountered a problem that affects many people and set out to solve it. They are not making another AI/NFT/Marketplace solution to make a few bucks but are actually trying to make the world better. We need more people like Chris in the world.

Launch HN: Shimmer (YC S21) – ADHD coaching for adults 4 years ago
My personal journey with ADHD- I was diagnosed over a decade ago during my Ph.D. I am taking stimulant medication. I have a family, held good jobs and am a founder. However, my journey to find the right medication as well managing life's challenges is ongoing. How do I deal with the endless to-do list? How should I manage those bad days where I can't seem to get anything done? How do I deal with my strong emotional responses to negative feedback?
