ADHD could have been evolutionary advantage for early humans

Just FYI my ADHD has recently disappeared after eating an elimination diet and supplementing with a few things that are known to be anti inflammatory.

This has caused me to doubt the belief that all modern mental disorders had an “evolutionary advantage” or that we should assume so.

What diet did you use exactly? I would love to give it a try.

Email me and I’d be happy to try and help you more than this. Mine is definitely almost gone though. Conclusion is that multiple foods I am sensitive to and cause some sort of immune response/ inflammation.

Although a simple suggestion would be to search for ADHD elimination diet.

Basically I cut out everything but apples pears rice potatoes carrots fish meat olive oil salt pepper broccoli and cauliflower.
