I mean, it might help tremendously, but having the FDA imprimatur for that doesn't guarantee that or mean that at all.
Yeah. Yeah. So almost all of them have been run by the company. I mean, it's good people at UCSF who are at least partly involved in it. Oh, is this Adam Gazelli's group? I think so.

Their product and some of the others can clearly show you get better at their product and you get better at tests that look exactly like their product. But in terms of real world, how much is this really helping ADHD symptoms on a day-to-day basis? Not a lot of data at all. So again, that doesn't mean it doesn't work.

And I'm going to go sideways in talking about neurofeedback because there's lots and lots of neurofeedback companies across the country that are making Lots and lots of money. And there was an article in the American Journal of Psychiatry in the last year. I'm not remembering which group did it. And it was another failure to find a significant impact from neurofeedback.

And again, I'm not saying it doesn't have an effect, but I've had lots of people saying, writing me, should I keep spending hundreds of dollars each week because my insurance isn't covering this? And the doctor saying, oh, maybe 20 more episodes will retrain your brain. So this gets back to a topic you brought up earlier, how much are we retraining our brains with immersion in social media?

And the evidence is we are rewiring our brains. So maybe anything pushing in an opposite direction or maybe this is reinforcing some of the bad things we don't want. We're in a messy world without clear answers yet.

Yes. Getting back to the scheduling. I mean, what I recommend to people and one of my weakness, I don't know the specific apps, but there are apps that will help shut you out of. Facebook or Discord or TikTok or whatever it is, if you can't exert your own willpower, which again is harder to do if you have ADHD.

And if the app approach doesn't work, the next level up is there are all sorts of companies making lock boxes and physical devices where you can lock yourself out of your device for certain hours of the day. And I think that's a good idea for lots of people.
