Hi

ADHD can cause all that you describe, and for some people, the meds are not all that helpful!

There is evidence to suggest that maintaining a healthy diet, with enough B vitamins and taking fish oil or flaxseed supplements, which are high in Omega 3, is very very helpful. A supplement called gingko biloba also helps. Try to cut out excess sugary foods, and all processed and junk food as that contributes to brain fog.

It really is not fair for your parents to blame you for symptoms that you cannot help, so try not to be hard on yourself
