3. Here is a link to Blue Blocking glasses that help with sleep, insomnia and depression if worn
for about two hours before bed. Note these along with a couple of others were the only ones
found to screen out enough blue light to be effective by Consumer Reports
https://www.amazon.com/Uvex-Blocking-Computer-SCT-Orange-S1933X/dp/B000USRG90 .
4. I would also suggest listening to relevant episodes of The Carlat Report for many useful tips
https://www.thecarlatreport.com/blog-tag/podcast/ .
Here is perhaps the most important episode of The Carlat Report to listen to
https://www.thecarlatreport.com/blog/top-lifestyle-tips-for-depression-and-bipolar/
5. A high quality multivitamin with extra B complex can be very helpful in assisting your body to
produce optimal amounts of the neurotransmitters that we target with Vyvanse. One good brand
is Dr Tobias and can be found here
https://www.amazon.com/stores/DrTobias/DrTobias/page/12E2733F-EC4A-4459-891A-
F0E8F11CD6E8.
6. SAM(e) may also be very helpful in making your ADHD medicine work more effectively, and
may also help separately with depression Here is a link to one good brand
https://www.amazon.com/SAM-400mg-Natures-Trove-Caplets/dp/B071CZMWSR/

7. A high qualify essential fatty acid supplement (EPA/DHA) has a number of studies to show
that they help modestly with both depression and anxiety, and ADHD. Here is one vegetarian
brand to consider https://www.amazon.com/Vegetarian-Formula-Essential-Purity-Products/dp/
B01EVITLHE?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2 .
8. Here is the link to a great Ted Talk about ADHD called "Failing at Normal"

https://chadd.org/ They also have support groups that meet in the greater Seattle area
during non Covid times.
10. Here is a link to The Depression and Bipolar workbook which has thirty evidence based
(non pharmacological) interventions for Depression and Bipolar (many of which are also helpful
for ADHD). This book alone had many things that might be able to enhance your life/mental
health https://www.amazon.com/Depression-Bipolar-Workbook-Strengthen-Brain/dp/

11. Here is a link to the Podcast by Dr. David Puder which has excellent mental health
resources. I especially recommend the one's on increasing total sensorium
https://www.psychiatrypodcast.com/ Also episode 96 from Sept 30th on exercise.
12. Here is a link to some very good You Tube videos on ADHD:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVDhYtQkuO8 and some good ones by one of the leading
MD's in the country on ADHD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tpB-B8BXk0&t=346s .
13. Here is one of the best podcasts on ADHD https://drhallowell.com/listen/distraction-podcast/
14. Don't forget the obstructive, sleep apnea evaluation as it has a very high correlation to
ADHD. Here is one good video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8oXCiLw5tA .
15 I also believe that the three podcasts at the new podcast from the makers of The Carlat
Report are worthwhile. Especially, the ones on "Five Ways to Sharpen Cognition" and the one
on "How to Sleep". http://pocketpsychpod.com/
16. Here is a link to Dr David Puder's bookclub podcast episode that is very helpful for many:

17. A good article from a peer reviewed journal that examines an overview of various
supplements and herbs for ADHD. The ones of most interest would include French Pine Bark
extract, Barcopi and Korean Red Ginseng https://www.hindawi.com/journals/np/2016/1320423/

one way to positively impact ADHD and autism symptoms (and perhaps improve sports
performance): https://www.interactivemetronome.com/

and may which help improve core ADHD symptoms:
