Not to mention voluntarily installing some of the worst spyware…

    For actual tips though, healthygamersgg on YouTube/Twitch is an excellent resource. He is a licensed therapist and has a ton of adhd videos and other topics.

      This might be a personal issue, but to me the vibes feel off with him. I’m not against someone self promoting, it just seems like every video of his I’ve seen has him wedging his $75 guide and $600 “group coaching” into conversations whenever he can. I’m not saying he’s wrong about anything or that his videos aren’t useful, he just comes off as very used car salesman to me.

          It’s not wrong but any time someone is giving advice and selling something at the same time, it calls into question their motives and integrity.

          Just means we should be suspicious, that’s all. Lots of scammers out there.

              and Dr. Oz is a cardiac surgeon. not to say healthygamergg is scamming or anything, but medical professionals with media careers should be treated with at least a little skepticism.

                That’s a really extreme and insulting comparison. Can you post an example of anything that’s remotely questionable content from healthygamersgg?

                  I mean that thing where he said to stop eating any/all spicy food and eat plain yogurt if you have anger issues seemed a little weird. Like can offer some plausible deniability but it seems like the notion comes more from “traditional medicine” and iirc there’s not much research on the subject. One of his chatters challenged him on it and he basically told them that maybe some of the ancient wisdom actually has a point, the science just hasn’t caught up yet, trust him on this one. I don’t disagree with the sentiment in general, science won’t always have the answer to a specific question, but I do get weary when people use try to use that to offer their specific remedies.
