MODERATORS
I knew the caffeine and speed was self medicating. But I did not realize about the nicotine.
I hike 8-9km a day over about 2 hours.
Yeah, nicotine too. Pretty much any stimulant. ADHD is thought to be caused by low dopamine, and exercise is thought to alleviate symptoms by producing dopamine. I know doctors reccomend strength training and aerobic exercises like running or swimming, but I don't know how hiking stacks up. If it's strenuous enough that you feel tired by the end, I'm sure it's helping.
Anyway, everyone's different. For me, if I don't run at least a 5K 3 times a week, my symptoms are terrible, but strength training doesn't seem to help much.
