Understanding Stimulants and Brain Metabolism in ADHD Treatment
Stimulant medications prescribed for ADHD work by increasing dopamine levels in the brain, which in turn boosts brain metabolism and energy in underactive brain regions. Viewing ADHD treatment as a metabolic intervention rather than correcting a chemical imbalance offers additional strategies beyond stimulant medications. Some individuals may experience negative side effects from stimulants, such as disrupted sleep, mood swings, energy crashes, and appetite changes, all of which can impact brain and body metabolism. Exploring alternative approaches to improve brain metabolism is crucial, especially for those who do not respond well to stimulant medications or experience adverse effects.
