If caffeinated drinks like coffee are meant to give you boosts of energy then why is it recommended for kids with ADHD to calm them down?
In: Biology
Attention deficits are when the part of your brain responsible for self control is lazy or underactive. This is called the executive function. When people with attention deficits get stimulants, it does make the rest of their brains more active, just like other people, but now their executive function isn’t lazy anymore and able to actually do its job controlling attention and focus.
Basically, it still gives them energy, but it gives them enough energy to have self control.
