Thank you for your research ADD is very near and dear to me.
Here are some questions rattling around in my ADD head, feel free to pick any that interest you:
0. High-speed porn and excessive masturbation is a widespread phenomenon of our era. When started from a young age, frequent daily orgasm releases a cocktail of neurotransmitters and hormones, with prolactin being a big one. Prolactin has been shown to inhibit dopamine as a component of the refractory period (sexual satiety) in men. Could this excess prolactin release affect cognition/executive function to the point of being mistaken as ADHD symptoms in adolescents/adults? See: https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/research/ https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/research/
1. Are there any bio markers to test for ADHD more conclusively?
2. Is ADHD genetic?
3. What are the long term effects of daily amphetamine usage e.g. irreversible dopamine down regulation, increased risk for Alzheimers/Dementia/Huntingtons etc.
4. Are there any new novel/promising medications currently being studied?
5. Has there been any attempts at measuring dopamine receptors in an ADHD brain vs neurotypical brain? What were the findings?
6. Is ADHD a vestigial trait from Neanderthals or, said differently, what is the evolutionary advantage that allows ADHD to propogate from generation to generation.
7. Since ADHD is linked to risk taking behavior e.g. gambling, criminal activities etc, what % of the prison population has ADHD if you had to guess?
Thanks for any responses in advance!
