Not sure this even joking really.

ADHD people often self medicate with alcohol or coffee.

Video Games have definitely been in the mix for 'self-medicating'.

That is why I'm wondering why so many people in this thread say 'just play such and such game X'. Games can be addicting, to be addicted to a game isn't necessarily helping the person.

But games can also help. So there has to be some mechanism, some particular game play mechanism that is helping. That is what needs to be studied. Then we could pick the ones already on the market with that mechanism.

I'm on 40mg Vyvanse daily, so it was a self-depricating joke... but as for me, replace games with programming - like many here, I was fortunate enough to turn my hyper-hyper-focus in a paid career. I don't know how many people with ADHD are as lucky.
