why coffee has been noted to help manage ADHD

More specifically, caffeine (sorry decaf) is being recognized more and more for its ability to possibly help manage ADHD symptoms.

Caffeine is a stimulant which, when consumed, can increase the levels of dopamine in your brain.

We know that ADHD comes with a lack of or an imbalance of dopamine in our brains, and so as the caffeine (coffee) is increasing your dopamine after being consumed, it’s also helping with your ability to focus which is why you’ll see many ADHDers with coffee in hand as they embark on activities that require their utmost attention.

For example, when you see me writing or creating content, you will also (always) see a coffee, hot or iced, working as my sidekick.

Whether it be a placebo effect or something that is actually working, for me, it works. #lemon8partner #adhdcommunity #adhdmanagement
