Does anyone have ADHD and play poker? What benefits or challenges have you had? Do you take meds and if so what kind and do they help? Anything else that you find helps you play with ADHD?
I have been a life long player with some struggles and stopped playing years back. I was recently diagnosed with severe adult ADHD and want to get some help and insight to benefit me getting back into poker. Thanks all.
As I understand it is a neurological behavioral disorder.
Stands for "attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity".
You could say it's a distraction, restlessness and the inability to concentrate on anything.
The phenomenon is most common in children of preschool and school age.
Often ADHD in adults can be confused, for example, emotional disorder.
As a rule, medicines are only vitamins, but also a sedative. Sometimes antidepressants.
Phil Hellmuth for many years suffers from ADHD and has eleven
wsop bracelets.
For such people there is a class of drugs like beta-blockers.
This type of medication has its negative side - decompression (if it is normal, it is not very useful), narrowing of the bronchi (especially dangerous for asthmatics), and with prolonged use a fairly high risk of impotence.
But some of them quite dangerous, until the ban in many countries.
Best doping for poker players is just a healthy way of life! Exercise, fresh air, adequate sleep, regular and proper nutrition, perhaps, support in the form of vitamins and dietary Supplements - all this will help you to be on top form for a long time, not only in poker but in many other ways. So I wish you health and success!
