I think I get the logic behind the game: It's designed to give someone with ADHD a steady dopamine boost through stimulation. It doesn't "cure" anything, what it does is basically soothe the ache, if you will. It's like an icepack for the brain.

Definitely, however according to some of their studies, they claimed that certain individuals were completely “symptom free” after a trial period (whatever that means). So are they claiming that it 100% “cures” ADHD? No. But there’s something to be said about the fact that they advertise even a POTENTIAL for that outcome, in my opinion.

[@epwmolter]

Funnily enough adhd is caused due to the brain not recieving enough dopamine due to dulled receptors so that is why the attention span is soo low, because we are constantly looking for ways to boost dopamine. Thats why people with adhd hyperfixate, because the dopamine intake can be a lot to someone who isnt normally recieving it, it would normally cause someone to fixate on that source, especially if the body feels deprived. So theoretically a videogame could be used to treat adhd, but it seems to be heavily individualistic and not necessarily for everyone as we all have different interests and ticks.

[@VinceMDT]

I feel like the people who developed this game have never actually talked to a person with adhd about what issues they face in every day life It always just gets boiled down to attention span being the issue, even though adhd comes with so much more than that. But since it‘s the most known symptom, they develop these kind of ‚treatments‘ to basically put a bandaid on a very small part of the whole disorder.

[@FrenkTheJoy]

I put the blame about that on people with adhd. I have a friend who says she has it and all she ever talks about is the qUiRkY "ooh shiny!" stuff and "golly gee it's so funny when I want to do one project but then I start another instead teehee."

I feel like a true test would be to try the test again after not playing the game for a week and see how your score changes. You said yourself that you weren't even really trying the first time you took it, and that can skew the results. You don't want to give credit to the app for something that could just have been you putting in more effort.

[@TheBluestflamingos]

The improvement in the test was probably due to the effects of practice. Most of the time, doing the same test more than once will see improved scores. To improve this experiment, one would have to try to eliminate other contributing factors so the only thing that changes is the game. In a real study, they would have a control group for this reason. -Group A takes the test, spends a week playing this game, then retakes the test. Record their improvement score. - Group B takes the test, spends a week playing Subway Surfers, the takes the test again. Compair their improvement score to the group A. Did the specialized game help, or is a level of improvement to be expected regardless? Since you only have one test subject, I would've done the test a bunch of times before adding the game, so you could forcast the expected level of improvement and compare it to the reality. If you usally improved 10% per try, and after trying the game your improvement rate went up to 30%, that would imply the game helped in some way. If you continued to improve along the predicted pattern, you could conclude the game didn't contribute much to the results.

As a school psychologist I can almost guarantee that the improved score is due to practice effects from taking the same test twice in a week, not the game itself. When going back for the post-test you already knew about the rules and had different expectations. In my professional opinion an app like this is a complete scam. Interesting video, just thought I'd share that! :)

[@lizzyblitz07]

Oooh! I have an important note for a school psychologist. Recent (robust) studies have found 60-70% of adults with ADHD have Delayed Sleep/Wake Phase Syndrome. Teenagers often have a similar effect during puberty, but it goes away. Seasonal depression lamp therapy in the morning will help students regulate their sleep cycle (specifically neurodivergent kids, but it could help all teens struggling with a messed up circadian rhythm. Not sure). The other steps are having good sleep hygiene, and even getting smart lightbulbs that turn on to help them wake up, and dim closer to bedtime to signal it's time to wind down. I have both of these things and Narcolepsy with Cataplexy so I've looked a lot into the sleep science research coming out. It's literally life changing. Especially the sun lamp therapy

Have you considered that you may have improved at the memory test the second time because, by virtue of doing it the first time, you had spent time learning how it works and practicing it? This is something you have to account for in science when administering the same test repeatedly, people do tend to improve with exposure.

[@girl.anachronism5639]

The problem with this theory is the fact that people with ADHD (I am one of them) hyper focus on certain things as well as the fact that it’s caused by chemical imbalances in your brain. So this is just creating a hyper focus on the game, it’s not curing your dopamine deficiency or allowing your focus to span out across your daily life.

Omg I’ve had that ad 100’s of times 😭 it looked so weird and I was so confused by it-

[@froodcariad6399]

This was extremely interesting and it's awesome to see you make a video from such a personal place. As a fellow adhd fuck, I really hope to see more stuff like this from you in the future. The group test, the hypothesis.... this was so well put together and you kept all your humour and charm Rock on, man 🤘

I read this as “Can this phone game cure my dad?”

Inwas diagnosed at 9, and bless my momma she went to every appointment, learned everything ahe could. Shes supported me my whole life.

[@DragonMaiden77]

This was an interesting watch because I’ve been getting this ad constantly and I’ve watched it’s rating drop from like 4.8 stars to 4.2. It’s really fascinating to find out that it helped you though.

Bro got to play a video game but I had to do a math test for my diagnosis 😭

Andy you just unlocked a core memory for me with that spaceship game screenshot

[@pinkpunther]

I'm actually freaky good at retaining certain information. For example: The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell 😎 (Also please, Andy tell me where you got that skeleton hat i love it so much)

FINALLY! THE MISSING LINK! I was puzzled why you kept showing up in my recs. So once you hit a topic of interest, I gave it a whirl. You're no Gabbi, but I'll click whenever you cover something that coincidentally tickles the fancy of someone in his 40s.

wait, games that require a lot of multitasking cure adhd? *loads up fnaf 2 cutely*

[@KakuroKing3407]

This reminds me of a game someone showed me for anxiety, but it was much simpler. This game would give me a panic attack based off of what I saw

[@dubitataugustinus]

I always knew that you were one of us. Stay strong, brotha

OH MY GOD THE PICTURE OF THAT SPACESHIP GAME BROUGHT BACK SEALED MEMORIES FROM MY CORE BEING

[@salemmarz3809]

[@Star_Finnegan]

Good news: I no longer have adhd school is easier! Bad news: I still have autism and bipolar and have less of an idea of how to function GIMME BACK MY ADHD
