having you know being able to concentrate longer being able to switch attention more appropriately or effectively and there's a huge body of sort of clinical literature of patients reporting you know i know i feel much more alert the day i get my workout in the gym in or i feel better or the week i took off from that was a big mistake.

But I would say identifying at what's the most valuable or what's the best duration. I ran through the data about a year or two ago, and I would say that we can't make any conclusions. And I would say at some level, try it and see what works for you. And that's what's important. It isn't what works for everyone.

Yes. And so the answer is, and these are really rough statistics. I actually, one of my pet peeves is people who quote, oh, the rate of this is 27.43%. Well, It might have been in that study, but that's looking at one population at one set. So I use ballpark figures.

The ballpark figure is Americans in the last 20 years, more than that, about 20% of Americans run into some addiction, substance addiction problem, either alcohol or drugs. People with ADHD have a rate that's almost double that, and it's higher in men than in women. Double? Almost double, almost 40% risk.

Yeah, that's substance abuse, and that's looking at abuse, and we can get into the related topic of what's misuse versus abuse, and I have pet peeves there. However, kids who are put on stimulant medications when they're young, and I should say the stimulants themselves do have a small potential for addiction, but putting kids on stimulants pretty much normalizes their rate of addiction problems.

So it protects them.

Yeah, I can say not absolutely every study has found this, but several large meta-analyses have gone back, and most of them have found this fairly dramatic benefit to being on stimulants as a kid in terms of specifically reducing substance abuse risk. And some of them that have looked at this, when I said it was a yes and...

It seems to be that it's not just the impulsivity traits, but some of the inattentive ones too. You know, if you're teachers lecturing about the risks of alcohol or this and this, and you're zoning out the window and looking at the plane flying by, You have less pertinent information on the topics.
