Saw a claim that cold showers or ice can instantly "fix" ADHD focus — is there any real science behind that?
Wellness influencer claiming a cold shower or ice pack triggers some kind of dopamine surge that instantly fixes ADHD focus for hours. Sounds like exactly the kind of oversimplified claim that goes viral without much behind it, but wanted an actual answer rather than just my gut skepticism.

Tried cold showers for a while out of curiosity, did feel a brief jolt of alertness, wore off within an hour or so, nothing close to what my actual medication does for sustained focus through a workday. Fun morning habit, not a treatment.
