We started MyADHDTips because we were exhausted by advice that assumed we could "just be more organized." We're not that. Here's who we actually are.
To make life with ADHD a little less hard — one honest, evidence-based, shame-free tip at a time. We believe your brain isn't the problem. The information you've been given is.
MyADHDTips started with a frustration. The internet is full of ADHD content — but most of it falls into two camps: clinical papers that feel impossible to read, or listicles that boil everything down to "try a bullet journal!" Neither was working for us.
We're a small team of writers, researchers, and people who live with ADHD every single day. Some of us were diagnosed as kids. Some of us were diagnosed at 35 and suddenly understood our entire lives. All of us have been in the trenches — the forgotten appointments, the hyperfocus marathons, the shame spirals, the medication trials, the relationships strained by things we couldn't explain.
We built this site to be the resource we wish we'd had. Research-backed enough to be trustworthy. Human enough to actually be useful. No judgment. No "you just need to try harder." No wellness guru energy.
Every claim we make is grounded in peer-reviewed research. We cite our sources, we name the researchers, and we flag when the evidence is mixed or preliminary.
Not written by a content farm. Not written by people who read one ADHD book. Written by people who forget their keys, hyperfocus on weird things, and have 47 browser tabs open right now.
We don't accept payment for product recommendations. If we say something is good, it's because we tested it and believe it. Affiliate commissions exist, but they don't influence our ratings.
Your ADHD is not a moral failing. We don't use language that implies you should be able to "fix" yourself with enough willpower. We meet you where you are.
These aren't just principles we say — they're rules we follow on every piece we publish.
Any claim about how ADHD brains work, medication effects, or treatment outcomes is backed by a citation to a peer-reviewed journal, professional organization, or named expert. We name our sources. We don't hide behind vague "studies show."
When we link to a product on Amazon, BetterHelp, or any other platform where we might earn a commission, we say so. Clearly. Every time. The disclosure is in the article, not buried in a footer. See our full Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Our product recommendations are based on personal testing, community feedback, and research — not on who pays the most. We'd rather lose a commission than recommend something that doesn't actually help.
ADHD research is evolving fast. When significant new research changes our recommendations, we update the article and note when it was last reviewed. We don't just let outdated articles sit.
MyADHDTips is an informational resource, not medical advice. We always encourage readers to work with qualified clinicians for diagnosis, medication, and treatment decisions. When it's relevant, we tell you that directly in the article.
We don't accept money for placing products in our roundups, for writing favorable reviews, or for including any brand in our editorial content. If you see a product, it's because we evaluated it on merit.
We draw on primary research from institutions including the NIMH, Harvard Medical School, and published work from leading ADHD researchers including Dr. Russell Barkley, Dr. Edward Hallowell, Dr. Ned Hallowell, Dr. Ari Tuckman, and Dr. Stephanie Sarkis.
We're affiliated with no pharmaceutical companies, no supplement brands, and no medical practices. We have no financial incentive to recommend treatment pathways. Our only interest is helping you find what actually works.
A small team with big executive dysfunction and a lot of lived experience.
Our writers all have personal or family experience with ADHD. Articles are reviewed for accuracy against current research before publication and revisited at least annually. We're not household names — we're people who want to help.
We reference peer-reviewed journals, cite named experts, and flag when evidence is limited or contested. When in doubt, we consult primary sources — not secondhand summaries — and we err on the side of saying "the research is mixed" rather than overstating certainty.
Tools and products featured in our reviews are used by at least one team member with ADHD over a minimum testing period. We note real-world drawbacks, not just features. We've abandoned plenty of things we tested — and we tell you that.
We read every email. If you spot an error, have a question about something we published, or want to share what's working for you, hello@myadhdtips.com gets to real humans who actually respond. (Sometimes slowly. We have ADHD.)
