[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 95 points 5 months ago (5 children) Omega-3, B vitamins. Don't write a 20-page article for ADHD people. Jesus fucking christ. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 20 points 5 months ago yeah, and the suggestion is to take supplements permalink fedilink source parent [–] Delphia@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago Just a warning for those who dont know. You can do permanent neurological damage by overdosing B6. It may sound hard to do but some energy drinks have several times your daily recommended intake and a lot of sports and fitness supplements put it in for no good reason. "Potentially hazardous" levels are defined as 1000% of your RDI over a prolonged period of time. So if you have 2 white monsters, a multivitamin, a zinc/magnesium supplement and a rehydration tablet and you're there. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fern@piefed.world 10 points 5 months ago (2 children) There is a lot more nuance in the article that is certainly worth looking at and considering and while I hear your annoyance with the long article I think going to the effort to write a long and informative article like this is commendable in some ways.

They said it's better to get them through diet but supplements can be useful as a backup. (I'd recommend a vegan omega 3 as otherwise you're likely to get a dose of mercury with your omega 3 every day). The B-vitamins they focused on was b-12, 6 and folate. Habit recommendations They recommended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy [CBT.] (I have had some success with the app "Feeling Great" but a therapist is certainly preferred over an app if you can.) Mindful eating - Try no screens, or as slow as you can eat for the first few bites. Eating schedule - setting reminders on your phone for when to eat can help you create a good and consistent eating schedule. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago Why use many word when few word do?
