Why caffeine? I have an ADHD assessment and for the first appointment that was one of the questions, if I drank caffeine and how much if so.

Most people who seek professional help have at one time attempted to self-medicate to resolve their issues.

Stimulants are what you would self-medicate with for ADHD. Caffeine is a simulant.

Also, when you don't know you have ADHD, when you forgt your meds, om the meds are not enough.

Because it is a stimulant that affects the brain stem thingy just like the real meds
