Surprising ADHD research finds greater life demands linked to reduced symptoms
www.psypost.org
Recent research found that ADHD often fluctuates, with most individuals experiencing alternating periods of remission and recurrence influenced by environmental demands, rather than following a static course of persistence or permanent remission. Recovery is rare, occurring in only 9.1%.

Curious to hear what others think, as this definitely aligns with my own experiences.

    Greater life demands for a limited time frame, sure.

    Long term life demands become overwhelming when they are comstant and for long periods of time.

      Yeah, my experience is that if I have too much free time, I somehow don’t get anything done. I’m much more productive and happy if I have a busy, but manageable to do list. Short periods of “too much” to do are also okay, especially when they have a clear end in sight, but they must be balanced out by a break of some sort.
