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.

I wrote to them and asked for evidence it helped with ANYTHING other than playing those exact games, and they just said oh it does, it does. And soon there was a lawsuit against them for making those claims. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH

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.

I hear a lot of that kind of stuff FROM people who apparently have adhd so I encourage folks to start being frank about the other issues.

@epwmolter 11 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I've definitely shown ADHD symptoms since young (always had a hard time staying awake in class even in the afternoon sometimes even though I WOULD sleep, just not restfully. Sometimes I just couldn't focus or intake information.) My folks just assumed I was rebelling and getting old and big for my britches but nah it turns out being unable to comprehend reading is not a sign of puberty, shock horror.

the funny thing is, i'm sure any fast paced game can accomplish what this game does what they're doing is giving u multiple things to focus on at once, to help ur reaction time, memory, and of course ur focus skills, which a majority of games already do unintentionally in splatoon's turf war mode, for example, u need to focus on -teammates -opponents -ink/ammo -location -when and where to use subs + specials and those are only scratching the surface! i think a mobile game doing what 90% of video games as a whole do but putting a suspiciously secret paywall and the guarantee of curing adhd, is actually insane, a bit lazy even. it feels like a cash grab

Did anyone end up finding an alternative to that game. I do think from the concept that it could help since you're training yourself to ignore distractiong (like the red elephant). But that price tag is ridiculous.

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.

It sounds lame but 15 minutes of "silently counting as high as I can with my eyes closed" gradually helped with daily focus. I could only get to like 20 before my attention scattered and lost count, but I could actually track progress as I reached higher counts

I have ADHD and when I saw that ad for the mobile game, all it did was confuse me and hurt my brain with all the flashing stuff all at once. Didn't play it, obviously. Also there's no "cure" for ADHD, and it's stupid when games claim that it can cure stuff like that. It's only a whole bunch of bait for people who are desperate, gullible, and willing to pay for their wild subscriptions.
