As someone with severe ADHD who has been repeatedly told they need to try everything that's not medication (so much CBT), I am now deeply sceptical of every new supposed cure.
A presumably extremely expensive headband that claims to be a "MRI in your pocket" and has an AI assistant to help you use it correctly seems like yet another scam preying on the disabled.
I think your instincts are good here. It's very telling that they secured funding to take product to market before completing comprehensive trials of the device. That's ass backwards from how legit medical devices are developed.
This just seems to be tDCS stimulator with a bunch of bells and whistles and possibly better UX.
Probably not technically a scam, there is plenty of research showing that it might be somewhat effective but nothing particularly innovative (you can get a generic stimulator for probably a lot less without all the extreme marketing overhead).
I don't know why, but we have an off topic chat for our university computer science students - a field where there's a lot of autistic and adhd students, both diagnosed and undiagnosed - and God they're (or, we're) the kinkiest people I've met
one other "diet" change - getting 8-9 hours of sleep a day so I can cut my caffeine intake to a cup of black tea in the morning and maybe one in the afternoon if I'm having a bad day.
I cannot overstate how good sleeping properly is. It does mean I need to be super careful with the meds so they're out of my body by the time I'm in bed, but a good night's sleep and some medical grade stimulants with a nice cup of tea is the best way I've found to have a productive day.
Did anybody give you tips on this? the depression generally lifts after 2 months. For most people it's around 2 weeks, but for stubborn cases it may take upto 2 month especially for women.
Anyway, I'm sure you are fed up hearing advise/tips, I'll leave it at that. If you think I may have something to offer (and I think I do) email me.
Ps: I'm fully cognizant that every person has their favorite diet/remedy, and I'm just another delusional individual who thinks I've (partially) figured it out).
I dunno if anyone's ever told you this, but one of the symptoms of ADHD is executive dysfunction which causes extreme difficulty in dealing with deferred rewards, especially if discomfort is involved.
Then I'd say that there is very little hope. The discomfort can be extreme when one gives up carbs to a point where one could could be bed ridden for a few days. The addictive characteristics of carbs resemble narcotic drugs.
I wouldn’t call mine severe but I’ve had the same frustration. I swear it’s just lining me up for a cavalcade of techbro medical startups who have clearly found a scheme for making money through government, insurance, and desperate people.

I'll stick to the meds thanks.
