Please address this question. What is the difference between adhd and addiction? Because some "drugs of abuse" are almost identical to medication prescribed for adhd. And sense in both cases there is a dopamine regulation issue driving the behaviors. Is not "abuse of methamphetamine" just a adhd self treatment that results in social isolation ( due to stigma) and therefore reduced dopamine in the " addict" and leading to use of higher dose of drugs If i am on to something here perhaps a large section of if not all of addicts are just under treated adhd? Bc i think it is highly likely that all meth use can be directly linked to adhd or something closely related neurologically

Little relevant information I am an ADHD diagnosed adult who believed I was an addict my whole life because I sought to regulate my symptoms through meth primarily because I was undiagnosed until this year ( I'm 40)
