So what a stimulant does from just like a very rudimentary perspective, if your brain has a million different things going on a million different times because of that underlying dopamine and norepinephrine dysregulation, so everything is just floating by at an incredible space, you can take a stimulant, a Ritalin derivative, something in that family,

And it actually works a little bit counterintuitively because it slows things down.

And really, it's not that it's slowing things down.

It just speeds everything up to match what's going on with your brain.

Oh my God, there's so many better things.

So here's the deal.

If you're treating ADHD, you could do it behaviorally or you could do it medicinally, right?

And with medicine for ADHD, there are stimulants and there are non-stimulants.

And so the stimulants are what everyone thinks of.

And they're our gold standard right now because they work well, they work reliably.

And you could tell pretty quickly, is this going to work or is this not going to work?

Those are things like Adderall derivatives, Ritalin derivatives.

Those are all part of that class.

But for a lot of people with ADHD, stimulants, even the long acting ones, they'll give you like a six to eight hour coverage.

But ADHD exists outside of that six to eight hours.

So then it's like, what are we doing for the rest of that?

So non-stimulants, a lot of them give you a 24 hour coverage.

For the great majority, they either fall under the category of an antidepressant or a blood pressure medication or some other class.

And you are getting additional benefits.

So for those people who have ADHD,
