What I am trying to say is that the brain is a VERY complex machine, I do not believe there is a singular cause for why people fail to be motivated/alert in their daily lives.

I refuse to call it ADHD, as that implies some known pathology. It is imo a social construction. Categorization can be useful for assessment/treatment but it isnt science. Quite frankly I dont care if people were handed amphetamines simply because they wanted to see if it improved their lives.

I will just say, I am disgnosed and take stims and the best and most motivatrd I ever felt was when I was doing some sort of physical activity almost daily, had a challenging rewarding job and friends. I was completely sober and happy, and completely depressed, ADHD like all the years prior. If youre not exercising regularly I highly suggest you try it
