Time to play another game of "Do I have undiagnosed ADHD or is this normal?"

"Dopamine, the brain's feel-good chemical, plays a crucial role in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, as dopamine levels are often imbalanced or dysregulated in some brain regions. This can contribute to difficulties in maintaining focus, impulsivity, and challenges with executive functions. When people with adult ADHD consume caffeine, it can mimic stimulant medication. The increase in neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine can lead to a sense of excitement or even euphoria."

#do i have a caffeine addiction or do i genuinely feel happier and more productive after getting a heavy shot of caffeine?#which is it #perhaps both are bad. i should probably not rely on caff to feel momentarily happy until it wears off.#...jokes aside i do think i probably have adhd or add or w/e #so much makes sense. and i think sometimes it would be nice to get a formal diagnosis #if only so *i* can stop badtalking myself and also idk. potentially make my parents understand some of my stumbling blocks.#but then i have also heard my dad say he doesn't think adhd exists and my mom thinks adhd makes people violent (???) so that might not help #(i say also suspecting my dad probably has adhd.)#but i would feel a little better lmao #merri mumbles
