Caffeine may be the world’s most common stimulant, almost universally seen as nature’s antidote to memory, fatigue, and focus problems. But caffeine’s common side effects, including higher heart rate, irritability and sleep problems, may outweigh the benefits for adolescents and adults with ADHD. What should adults with ADHD, and caregivers of children and teens with ADHD, know as they weigh caffeine’s role in improving certain symptoms?
In this webinar, you will learn:
- About the neurobiology of the ADHD brain and why caffeine may be considered by some scientists as a supplemental therapy
- What the latest studies say about caffeine, ADHD, and cognitive enhancement
- How caffeine affects memory, focus, and other ADHD symptoms
- About the risks and benefits of consuming caffeine, including its impact on sleep, a known problem for people with ADHD
- Whether caffeine should be used with stimulant medications or in place of stimulants
- How caffeine and exercise can work together to address ADHD symptoms
