This is one of the best linked articles about ADHD i've seen on HN. Especially because it gets quickly to the most important point which often times is still neglected:

> The first-line treatment for ADHD is stimulants. Everything else in this post works best as a complement to, rather than as an alternative to, stimulant medication. In fact most of the strategies described here, I was only able to execute after starting stimulants. For me, chemistry is the critical node in the tech tree: the todo list, the pomodoro timers, etc., all of that was unlocked by the medication.

This means: You do have to see a physician and psychologist to get diagnosed and to get a therapy plan. Just reading articles or books about managing ADHD won't do the trick.

As someone who is struggling with ADHD and tried Ritalin at one point. The Ritalin did not really change anything for me, I was calmer, but it didn't help me get a better grip on my life so to say. Do you think there is a chance this would be different for other stimulants? Just looking for some experiences people had I guess.

I imagine the point of this algorithm, like a lot of algorithm research, is to prove the upper bound of complexity for this problem. Not to be used in practice (despite what this article seem to suggest).

On a similar note, there's a lot of work put into optimal matrix multiplication algorithm. We know the lower bound is N*2, the obvious upper bound is N*3, the best (complexity wise, not practical at all) current algorithm is N*2.37, but we don't know how fast can it really get. Is it possible to write N*2 algorithm? We don't know.

I mean nobody is stopping me from writing an exponential time algorithm.
