ADHD reframed as a circadian rhythm disorder in 2025 paper

Original: ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy (2025)

A 2025 paper in Frontiers in Psychiatry argues that ADHD should be understood partly as a circadian rhythm disorder, reviewing evidence that disrupted sleep-wake timing is tied to the condition. The authors propose chronotherapy — timed light exposure, melatonin and adjusted schedules — as a treatment avenue, prompting discussion about how ADHD is diagnosed and medicated.

Why now: The paper challenges standard views of ADHD and suggests practical new treatment approaches, drawing wide attention.
