I’m here for all and any adhd related talk :)
Well, in theory you can spark the dopamine in brain with legal stimulants like sugar, caffeine and nicotine, and that is why so many undiagnosed adhd people are addicted to those. But obviously it’s a shitty bandaid for a big problem.
I’ve done anything and everything in my life to make it accomodate my symptoms (which I did not know were all adhd) and no matter how much sleep, what diet, how relaxed and low stress my life on paper is, the adhd doesn’t go away and effects everything in my life. I was at my wits’ end when I got diagnosed and started my med trial only this week but I can already tell you that’s it’s going to be my savior. But where I think good healthy lifestyle does play a key role in is overall health, and to make sure it supports your body if you go on medication because there can be side effects.
