why do stimulants have a calming effect for people with ADHD?
In: 2471
One part of the brain that is highly stimulated by ADHD meds is the frontal lobe, which is in charge of “executive functions.” These are things like planning, prioritizing things, impulse control, etc. People with ADHD have executive functions that can be “overwhelmed” by inputs from the rest of the brain, stimulating the frontal lobe’s function therefore helps it manage everything more effectively.
