#Caffeine and ADHD: How Do Caffeinated Drinks Affect #ADHD
The most common treatment for ADHD is stimulant therapy. These drugs can improve your focus and attention span and help control impulsive behavior.
The most widely used stimulant, and the most popular drug in the world, is caffeine. It’s in coffee, tea, chocolate, soda, and other foods.
A few studies have looked at how caffeine can affect ADHD symptoms, but the results have been mixed. Even though caffeine is a stimulant, it’s not generally recommended as a treatment for ADHD because it hasn’t proved to be as effective as prescription medications.
How It Works
Stimulants, including caffeine, raise the amount of specific chemicals that your brain uses to send signals. One of these is dopamine. It’s linked to pleasure, attention, and movement.
When you have ADHD, doctors often prescribe stimulants to help you feel more calm and focused. Some researchers believe that because studies show the caffeine in tea can improve alertness and concentration, it might work for ADHD, too.
Some scientists think caffeine has potential as an ADHD treatment because of its effect on dopamine levels, which improved memory and attention in rats. In another study, when hyperactive rats were given caffeine before they went through a maze, they got better at it. This suggests caffeine can improve spatial learning. While these studies are interesting, rats aren’t people.
The Downside
More than 400 milligrams of caffeine is more likely to cause problems including:
Migraine headaches
Insomnia
Irritability
Upset stomach
