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
Individuals with ADHD have a biological mixup that causes their brain to react to stimulants differently than the “normal” brain. Not sure of the exact chemical reaction, but for those with ADHD, the neurons in the brain are typically firing as if the person was already using a stimulant and when they do use a stimulant it sort of slows and focus that energy because of the way the brain reacts to it.
