1. ADHD isn't a deficit of attention—it's a dysregulation of it People with ADHD don't lack attention. They struggle to control what they pay attention to & when. This is why they can hyperfocus for hours on things they love… & completely ignore everything else.

2. It's not just a childhood disorder ADHD continues into adulthood for many people. Symptoms just evolve: • More mental restlessness • Less physical hyperactivity • Chronic disorganization or overwhelm Many adults go undiagnosed for years.

3. ADHD brains are wired for novelty and stimulation This is why routine tasks feel unbearable for these people. But it also means ADHDers thrive in environments with: • High urgency • Creative challenges • Fast feedback loops These can be their superpowers in the right career.

4. Rejection Sensitivity is very real Many people with ADHD experience RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria). It's an extreme emotional response to: • Criticism • Being ignored • Perceived failure It's painful, but often mistaken for mood disorders.

5. ADHD is often linked with entrepreneurship & creativity ADHDers are: • Risk-takers • Big-picture thinkers • Comfortable with uncertainty They also struggle with structure, but thrive when building things their own way.

6. Executive function struggles are the real bottleneck ADHD impairs the brain's ability to: • Plan • Prioritize • Manage time • Start & finish tasks This makes life feel overwhelming—even for smart, capable people.

7. Movement improves focus • Pacing • Moving • Fidgeting While working isn't a distraction… It's a coping mechanism. Exercise, especially cardio, can help regulate focus & mood. Many ADHDers benefit from walking meetings or standing desks.

8. Structure is freedom It sounds backward, but things like: • Lists • Routines • Calendars Give ADHD brains room to breathe. • Timers & alarms • Visual reminders • Breaking tasks into small chunks These tools reduce overwhelm & create momentum.

Sugary Drinks Linked to Depression Through Gut Microbiome Sugary soft drinks may do more than harm physical health—they also appear to impact mental well-being. A study of over 900 adults found that women who consumed large amounts of sugary drinks had a 17% higher risk of depression and more severe symptoms. Researchers traced this effect to changes in the gut microbiome, specifically a rise in Eggerthella bacteria linked to depression. These microbiome disruptions may promote inflammation and reduce protective compounds, influencing mood. Interestingly, the same pattern was not found in men. The findings highlight nutrition’s role in mental health and point to potential diet-based therapies.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Erases PTSD A groundbreaking clinical study paired vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with traditional prolonged exposure therapy to treat patients with treatment-resistant PTSD. Remarkably, all nine participants no longer met the criteria for PTSD up to six months after completing the therapy. VNS, delivered through a small implanted device, enhances neuroplasticity, which may help make psychological treatments more effective. Previous research shows many PTSD patients do not respond fully to therapy or medication alone, underscoring the need for new approaches. The findings offer promising evidence that combining brain stimulation with cognitive therapies could transform care for those with severe or resistant PTSD. A larger Phase 2 trial is now underway to confirm these results and move toward FDA approval.

New Research: Comparing machine learning classifier models in discriminating cognitively unimpaired older adults from three clinical cohorts in the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum: demonstration analyses in the COMPASS-ND study frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… #FrontiersIn #AgingNeuroscience

Each of us makes, on average, 35,000 choices a day. It is needless to say that making the right decisions here is key. Correctly compounded daily decisions can lead to success. Regular wrong decisions can result in failure. That is why it is great to have structured decision-making. To help you with this, I have prepared a special cheat sheet. It covers the special 6 Thinking Hat decision-making technique. With this approach, you look at the problem wearing 6 different hats: A) White focuses on information and facts. B) Red focuses on feelings and intuition. C) Green focuses on creativity and new ideas. D) Yellow focuses on positives and optimism. E) Blue focuses on managing the thinking process. F) Black focuses on risks and problems. This method is extremely useful to see various perspectives. Try it out and see the results for yourself. P.S. What is your favorite decision-making concept? 📌 Want a high resolution PDF of this? 1. Just follow me @Igor_Buinevici 2.

ADHD May Raise Dementia Risk A new study reveals that adults with ADHD show biological changes in the brain that resemble early-stage dementia, including elevated iron levels and increased neurofilament light chain (NfL) in the blood. These markers are commonly associated with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. Using advanced MRI imaging, researchers found excessive iron accumulation in specific brain regions of ADHD patients, particularly the precentral cortex. They also detected a strong correlation between these brain changes and NfL levels, a protein indicating neuronal damage. While iron is essential for brain function, too much of it can cause oxidative stress and harm nerve cells. These findings suggest that ADHD may increase the long-term risk of developing dementia and highlight the need for early detection and targeted interventions.
