The more I know about rejection sensitive dysphoria, the more I understand why I was sensitive as a child.
People with ADHD are more likely to experience rejection sensitive dysphoria. We tend to be emotional hypersensitive and have a tendency to be highly sensitive. I struggled to explain why I felt so emotional over the years, but I learned ways to manage my emotions as I grew up.

ADHD in adults often responds well to stimulant medications like dexamphetamine and methylphenidate (brands include Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta etc). These meds can boost frontal lobe function which helps with attention and with disinhibition of impulses. But that can stifle spontaneity and playfulness and cause a range of other effects.
We explore what Adult ADHD is: the attention systems don't develop properly in some people who sedation a somewhat child-like level of attention. We touch upon some of the possible causes of ADHD and the outcomes of ADHD including the impact upon self-view.
Often people find that ADHD medications become less effective with time (toelrance), requiring higher doses (dose creep). We explore the effect of stimulant medications upon:
1. frontal lobe functions of attention and spontaneity
2. the arousal effect on energy and alertness
3. the effect of reward pathway activation on positive emotion and appetite
4. the effect of the body of increased activation
Then we contrast that with the withdraw effects:
1. worse attention
2. less energy
3. less reward activation
4. less performance
The bigger the dose, generally the greater the withdrawal effects.
We explain how this whole mess can be minimised by taking steps to avoid dose creep including taking consecutive days off the stimulant medications every week and taking a longer break every few months.
Lastly we explore the striking similarities between the drugs and our endogenous neurotransmitters.
