Could Nicotine Provide an Alternative to ADHD Medications?

ADHD diagnoses have increased, with suggestions of overdiagnosis due to social media influence. Long NHS wait times lead to patients seeking alternatives to prescribed medication. Nicotine is considered a potential treatment for ADHD, with research showing symptom reduction and cognitive benefits. While nicotine use is high among those with ADHD, further research is needed to understand its effectiveness and risks. Nicotine patches, pouches, and vapes may offer low-risk options. Consult a health professional for ADHD management. The relationship between ADHD and nicotine is complex and warrants further investigation for potential alternative treatments.
