I'm 35, with diagnosed ADHD and brain scarring. My memory feels so fried and it's almost Impossible to finish a task. Where I live it's almost Impossible to get actual medication for something. Doc always gives herbal treatments and it helps nothing.

Is there a way to help myself without meds?

If you're eating regular chocolate i think it's indeed just sugar cravings 😂 I feel you there. But yeah it doesn't make a monumental difference since we do have a disorder but it helps noticeably! I think we should all be consuming it daily.
