When Your ADHD Brain Always Has a Song Playing
Many people with ADHD have music playing in their heads almost all the time.
Their brains often use music like a mental fidget toy.
ADHD brains tend to seek stimulation, so a song or sometimes just the same five-second lyric can get stuck on repeat for hours.
For many people, it gives the mind something to latch onto, making it a little easier to focus on other things.
It's like a personal soundtrack that helps quiet the mental static and keeps the brain engaged.
