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.

Source: I used to drink up to 3 energy drinks per day to stay on task at work. It was literally killing me

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
