I think 15 years ago ADHD was the term for what is now ADHD hyperactive, vs ADD I think is a closer approximation now to ADHD inattentive - but don't quote me on that. But I know that they grouped them into variations of one disorder, rather than being their own separate issues.

Oh wow, yeah that's really interesting, especially how you've used it as a helping part of a wider sort of process to better balance life and work. I definitely understand what you're describing as far as the brain fog experience etc, as well as my frustrations with medication and dosages having varying effects between success and negative side effects depending on the dose though.

I wondered whether there would be any parallels between yours with Ayahuasca and other drugs such as LSD with ADHD. Which from my own experience can be extremely traumatic.

ADD is an older term for what is now diagnosed as ADHD, with it's sub-variant diagnoses:

ADHD primarily Inattentive

OR ADHD Primarily Hyperactive

OR ADHD Mixed

What do you mean when you say that you have ADD and not ADHD?

Regardless, it sounds like you've put a lot of strategies in place to manage your symptoms and moved forward as a result, so good for you!

Interested to hear about what ayahuasca is like with ADHD if you'd like to share?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Here's a very telling quote from this article:

>Finally, the sample size was too small to claim cause and effect; there may be other factors that led to persistent ADHD.
>
>These limitations aside, this research provides neurological evidence that consistent use of strategies to cope with ADHD symptoms may be a way out.

tldr; The article invalidates itself as wishful thinking but then assures the reader that it's valuable.

I know that there's been a long-term notion that "most kids with ADHD grow out of it eventually" but anecdotally I've never heard of anyone for who it didn't get worse as societal expectations of adults took the place of the relative ease of childhood.

But isn't this basically saying that if you mask long and hard enough, eventually living a masked life just becomes your normal functioning, so you basically don't have ADHD, you're just expending more energy to be a slightly worse functioning regular adult?
