why do stimulants have a calming effect for people with ADHD?
In: 2471
People with ADHD aren’t actually “hyper,” in the traditional sense.
It mostly comes from the fact that their brains don’t give the “good job,” signal that non-ADHD brains do when the person completes a task. As such, their brains are constantly looking for stimulation in a bunch of different places, leading to the appearance of hyperactivity.
Stimulants help by essentially *always* giving the “good job,” signal to their brains, allowing them to stay focused on whatever they’re doing.
