Talking to yourself is actually a very common, harmless way people with ADHD process thoughts and organize tasks. To manage your ADHD symptoms, two main types of medication are available: stimulants like methylphenidate or amphetamine, which are highly effective at improving focus and impulse control, and non-stimulants like atomoxetine or guanfacine, which are great alternatives. As these medications help regulate your brain's executive functioning, you will likely find the habit of talking to yourself naturally decreasing. Please consult your doctor to discuss which option is best and safest for you.
