If you think exercise or some good habits significantly changes ADHD you don't know what ADHD is, sorry.

I do both, does not change my ADHD at all (it has other benefits surely)

Exercise manages symptoms, it’s not a cure. Honestly if you have adhd I would stop coming to HN. It’s a distraction and the nature of it requires you to constantly check in.

  • Exercise manages ZERO ADHD symptoms. I can tell you between times of almost zero exercise and anything from once to five times a week the ADHD was not affected.

    Telling me to stop coming to HN is like telling a drug addict to just not take drugs.

    Even if I block HN, I will just be distracted by something else.

I think this is uncalled for, especially when in your very next sentence you clarify that you’re speaking about your own experience. Everyone’s can be different.

  • The effect exercise has on me is wanting to eat better, sleep better etc and it gives me more energy.

    All of these things help with my ADHD and I'm much more affected by symptoms when my body is not in shape. Not sure why that other commenter insists on being so offended.

  • It is not! What is uncalled for is telling someone with a serious health condition that is NOT changed by some exercise that it would be.
