to wonder if a lot of adult ADHD is actually neuroinflammation?

[sportio]

Before anyone has a canary I have an adult diagnosis of ADHD myself and have been both medicated and unmedicated. However the more research I do the more I keep hearing about neuroinflammation. The symptoms of neuroinflammation are very much a match for those of ADHD and modern western lifestyles are for the most part a one way ticket to neuroinflammation.

Looking at medications they often work as a kind of brute force for executive function but they do nothing to address any underlying neuroinflammation. I am not on any medication at all now due to side effects but I am finding addressing neuroinflammation things like diet, lifestyle, sleep and exercise and supplements really helpful although it is early days for me I do like the idea of tackling the root causes.

Has anyone else explored this?

After my ADHD assessment, I was formally diagnosed through "Adhd Certify"and did try different method. Since then, I’ve been exploring the role of neuroinflammation. Many people with ADHD report improvements through diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management, and I’ve personally found these lifestyle changes helpful so far. Medication can help manage symptoms, but it doesn’t always address root causes. Lifestyle changes are slower, but for some people, they feel more sustainable.
