    It’s not really a thing. ADHD is usually medicated with stimulants, not depressants. Counterintuitively, ADHD brains suffer from a lack of sensitivity to dopamine and similar chemicals, and stimulants flood the brain with these giving ADHD people an experience closer to neurotypical.

    Alcohol as a depressant does the exact opposite thing that an ADHD brain needs, and will make core symptoms worse.
