what task shall be granted?

Scrub floor by hand.

this is why i did an investigative assesment on the effectiveness of adhd meds in highschool for my personal essay question. cause u can pick anything

understanding how adhd meds worked helped me feel less weird taking them

its all about dopamine reuptake inhibitors: thats the meds

tonic and phasic dopamine: tonic is ur baseline dopamine, while phasic is the type thats released for task.

adhd people have a lower tonic dopamine baseline.

basically when neurotypicals do a task it releases dopamine, but it leaves a little dopamine out between the gap of the receptor and doesnt take it all it, and it makes doing the next tasks easier

with adhd it takes all the dopamine out so then theres no dopamine lubricant inbetween the connections to make it easier to keep doing tasks

the medication, stops the neuron from taking all the dopamine between ur neurons, and leaves a little out, so then you have more ease doing tasks

this is why doing some simpler tasks after taking adhd meds can help it start getting working because the dopamine start getting between the receptors as your tonic dopamine levels go up

having low tonic dopamine levels makes it hard to focus and makes you crave quick dopamine hits like using your phone in order to supplement it so you can feel alert and normal.

the meds are just evening out the playing field with neurotypicals

thats what i learned from my research

it took me weeks of studying to figure this out so I understand how daunting it can be to figure it all out

let me know if you have any questions

i read a bit more and remembered that i specialised in methylphenidate medication for my research so thats what it applies to, by that i mean concerta and ritalin. they are dopamine reuptake inhibitors. while other adhd medication might increase the neurotransmitter amount by make it send more dopamine to help cross the gap before the reuptake sucks it back in before it can activate properly

i like how this article goes into more detail about the neurotransmitters, dont know if its reputable but makes sense. -

it suggests the three problems for adhd brains being, 1. sending neuron not sending enough neurotransmitters (e.g. dopamine)

2. the neurotransmitters may have trouble activating landing pads (receptors) on the receiving neurons

3. the sending neuron may suck the neurotransmitters up before a good connection is made

all neurons sending information need to suck up extra neurotransmitters to get ready to send the next signal, thats the reuptake, in adhd this happens quickly, before the receiving neuron can get the message. poor activation of neurons all together effects an adhd persons attention span and motivation
