Omega-3, B vitamins.

Don’t write a 20-page article for ADHD people. Jesus fucking christ.

There is a lot more nuance in the article that is certainly worth looking at and considering and while I hear your annoyance with the long article I think going to the effort to write a long and informative article like this is commendable in some ways. I’ll grant it’s not a perfect article in many ways though. Nonetheless I wanted to share a bit more of what I learned from it for others.
