October is #ADHDAwarenessMonth, and we’re sharing some myths about ADHD and why they are not true.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodivergent condition where the brain works differently from most people. Young people and adults can have ADHD. #CWPMyMind
ADHD is NOT a neurological type.
You are NOT an elite hunter-gatherer, you are metabolically impaired.
You have insufficient energy levels in your brain.
It actually takes a lot of brain energy to be able to relax or focus. Anxiety, restlessness, excitation come from a state of insufficient energy.
ADHD in children is related to the energy levels in the brain. The frontal lobes of the brain, which are responsible for planning and understanding complex tasks that require prolonged attention, have a very high energy requirement.
When these parts of the brain do not receive sufficient energy, children and animals can become hyperactive and unable to concentrate.
Ray Peat explains that stimulants like Ritalin (methylphenidate) and caffeine temporarily raise the energy level of the brain, making individuals more attentive and focused.
This is why Ritalin is often prescribed for hyperactive children, as it helps them to quietly pay attention.
However, Peat notes that this effect is not paradoxical from a scientific physiology perspective; it is simply a matter of providing the brain with the energy it needs to function properly.
We don’t want to feed Ritalin to children, obviously, so what should we do?
Well… Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in maintaining high energy levels in the brain. If these hormones are deficient, the nerves require stimulants to function normally, and the body produces large amounts of adrenaline to keep going, which can result in tiredness and tension simultaneously.
To address ADHD, Ray Peat suggested ensuring that the brain has a consistent supply of energy.
This can be achieved by correcting hypothyroidism, which often involves dietary changes or taking a thyroid supplement.
By increasing the rate of energy production, the brain can maintain a high energy level, reducing hyperactivity and improving concentration.
As someone rightfully pointed out, it is obviously a disorder if fixing energy metabolism fixes it.
There isn’t one kind of ADHD...there are many.
We’ve been taught to see ADHD as one big diagnosis: distracted, disorganized, impulsive. But the truth is, ADHD shows up in completely different ways depending on how your brain regulates energy, emotion, and focus.
Some people are hyperaroused always on alert, easily overstimulated.
Others are inattentive quiet, internal, lost in thought.
Some are overfocused locked onto a single idea or task and unable to shift.
And many are combinations of several.
That’s why two people with ADHD can have opposite struggles one talks too much, the other can’t get a word out. One thrives under chaos, the other shuts down from it. Both are ADHD.
Understanding your type doesn’t box you in. It explains why standard systems don’t work for you.
You don’t need more discipline or motivation you need tools designed for the way your brain operates.
Because ADHD isn’t one story.
It’s a spectrum of nervous systems trying to navigate the same world differently.
So ADHD isn't attention deficit disorder.
It's selective hyper-focus.
You can focus extremely well on things you care about.
But you can't focus on things you don't care about.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a condition where someone’s brain works differently to most people’s. It’s important to increase understanding and support for people with ADHD.

Many people have been asking why there is so much disinformation and so many allegations about Qatar, despite the following facts:
The answer is simple. Those who spread these disinformation campaigns are either paid to do so or do not believe in peace in the Middle East and have extreme agendas. Whenever peace efforts fail, Qatar steps in to help, which leads to continued attacks and fake news about the country by these extremists.
Fortunately, thanks to the Qatari team, including consultants and lobbyists, we have successfully weathered this storm of disinformation.
Key Points About Qatar:
1. Strategic Military Presence:
Qatar is home to the largest American airbase in the Middle East, housing over 10,000 men and women. The base represents an investment of more than $14 billion from Qatar saving American taxpayer money
2. Significant U.S. Investments:
Qatar's investment in the U.S. is substantial, with a new investment of $1.3 trillion in economic value that includes $500 billion in direct investments over the next five years, contributing to significant economic prosperity and job creation in the U.S.
3. Recognized Ally:
Qatar has been recognized as a major non-NATO ally of the United States by President Biden. Additionally, it received a special executive order from President Trump as part of a defense treaty.
4. Humanitarian Contributions:
Qatar has donated $100 million for Hurricane Katrina relief, $30 million for Hurricane Harvey, and $5 million for Hurricane Ian, supporting the American public.
5. Hostage Negotiations:
Over the past few years, no country has brought back more American hostages than Qatar.
6. Global Peace Initiatives:
Qatar has played a crucial role in securing global ceasefires in various regions, including facilitating the current peace deal in the Middle East with the help of the USA
7. Energy Investments:
Qatar has made significant investments in the U.S. energy sector, with two major multi-billion-dollar projects in Texas that contribute to thousands of jobs.
8. Military Training Facilities
Recently, Qatar has been approved to establish military training facilities in Idaho.
And much more is on the way.
BREAKING NEWS:
Royal Order: His Eminence Sheikh Dr. Saleh bin Fawzan bin Abdullah Al-Fawzan is appointed as the Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Chairman of the Council of Senior Scholars, and General President of the General Presidency for Scholarly Research and Fatwa, with the rank of Minister.
