Is "dopamine detox" actually an effective strategy specifically for ADHD, like some content claims?
Concept of 'dopamine detoxing,' deliberately avoiding stimulating activities for a period to 'reset' your brain's reward system, gets specifically framed in some content as an especially effective strategy for ADHD in particular. Wondering if there's something to that specific framing or if it's a general wellness trend being misapplied to ADHD.
