If I could prescribe one thing for every person with ADHD, it would be movement.
Exercise increases dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin — the exact neurotransmitters that are dysregulated in ADHD. A single bout of exercise can improve attention, reduce impulsivity, and stabilise mood for hours.
Forget the gym membership you'll never use. Instead, find movement that your brain actually enjoys. Dancing in your kitchen. Walking while listening to a podcast. Anything novel and engaging.
The best exercise for ADHD is the exercise you'll actually do. Ten minutes of movement is better than zero — and for your ADHD brain, those ten minutes might be the most important medicine you take all day.
