But experts say a fresh, personalised approach to care could be a game-changer for workplace wellness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the 7th Southern African Multidisciplinary ADHD Congress, health leaders are pushing to move beyond the traditional &#8220;find the right pill&#8221; mindset. Instead, they are advocating for &#8220;precision care&#8221;, a tailored combination of support, lifestyle tweaks, and smarter work environments designed around how individual brains actually function.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Around 4%of South African adults live with ADHD, yet many struggle in silent frustration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to Professor Renata Schoeman from Stellenbosch Business School, thriving at work isn&#8217;t about expecting lower standards.
