Caffeine should only be taken if you want some of its non-ADHD effects like it being a laxative.
>>13475629It's just a medicalization of people who are simply worse at paying attention and executive function and such. It's literally diagnosed by testing who is the worst at certain tasks.
Of course you can control it with diet and exercise but all things being equal taking amphetamines is going to make you more productive and such. They're pretty heavy drugs though don't get me wrong.
The whole bit with "Well if you just took care of yourself and didn't spend 8-10 hours on social media you wouldn't have so many problems" is missing the point that it's failure to do these things that results in an ADHD diagnosis to begin with. Having ADHD basically means you're a specific kind of retarded.
