How about flipping it? You need the ADHD to function maximally in your life/career, so you're unconsciously self medicating to induce it through caffeine?

- speeder 11y agoWhat you said makes no sense. I am struggling to barely work, I keep getting repeteadly fired even when my performance is good (because my behaviour is too strange in the office), I lost a girlfriend due to ADHD (I have to constantly fidget or move, this girlfriend tought I was anxious and didn't wanted to pay attention to her when I was fidgeting when she was talking to me). Also caffeine don't induce ADHD (the medical condition).
- brador 11y agoCaffeine doesn't induce ADHD in the general population. Individual cases are possible, or more commonly, ADHD type behaviours caused by external stimuli. Actual genetic ADHD is extremely rare and severely debilitating when it does occur.
- speeder 11y agoIf know this, why you wrote your post as if it was possible to cause ADHD with caffeine? And that somehow I want to have this horrible condition?
- brador 11y agoIt is possible to cause ADHD symptoms with caffeine. And I didn't say you want to have any condition. I am implying you do not understand the possible causes of it and have taken the easy option to bandaid.
