Sounds great. I’ve found dance to significantly boost my mood, but only while I’m doing it. Other exercise seems to offer a minor improvement, again, while I’m doing it. SSRI’s, on the other hand, have made a massive difference. I think exercise is a factor, but not a cure in itself.
I started many exercise routines rather excessively, my siblings also tend to do that. This resultes d in injuries, like micro fractures, tendonitis, etc. This is not definitely only the case for people with adhd, but impulsiveness makes them more prone to this. So start very slow. Im currently managing 2 routines, I run 4 times and swim 3 times a week, I also started ssport climbing again. The only reason why I keep up this routine is because of carrots. I really want to go swim open water next summer and have set a date for a half marathon. Anything without a goal just vanishes and Ill be remembered at it once and a while by the gear Ive bought. Anyways, the running and swimming keeps my from using bad coping mechanisms. And as a bonus I got fit.
Exercise helps so much with improving so many aspects of mental and physical health on top of seemingly reducing chronic ADHD symptoms. Why would I go back to leaving exercise out of my routine?
You have ADHD and you have a routine??! 🤣🤣🤣 Just kidding. Glad it's helping you. Me too. I find jogging especially helpful - been centering my regime on that since seeing Russell Barkley's view that steady-state cardio is the best-evidenced type of exercise for ADHD. Finding it very helpful indeed.
Amazing videos, thank you so much !👍 I have a question but first I would like to say... I hate the definition of ADHD given by psychology( DSM-5), I find that it confuses us more than anything... I understand that psychology is the science of human behavior, so they don't really have a choice but to give a behavioral definition. That's why I prefer to understand the neuroanatomy of ADHD, it gives a much more precise image of the true condition. And it explains with much better precision why the symptoms arise. I don't know if you had the chance to read the new report by University of Groningen (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder 2024) it is a good summary of the overall condition that also include the neuronatomy. I know the abstract model of Dr Barkley and Dr Brown that are pretty good, but I do not find them satisfactory. I tried to create my own model based on my knowledge but hey... I'm not very qualified... so my question is, do you have a better model to suggest to me, or maybe you have your own reference model?
I think that our whole mental health diagnostic system will be changing significantly over the next few years. I think that the core of what we now call ADHD will still be centered around prefrontal cortex / executive function issues, but I haven't seen any formulations that really capture where I think things are headed.
@@DrJohnKruse so you would say that there's no abstract model that truly capture ADHD, it only gives you an image of executive function... So I guess you just have to know yourself, and understand what you can do and what you can't do... Thank you so much Dr , you are making amazing video! continue the great work we will support you!👍
@@Ouiofcourse there may be a better model out there, but I haven't stumbled across it yet. But maybe other viewers have found one or are developing one....
The best part about exercising is knowing you've done something good for the body. You can train your self respect along side your muscles.

I wish it was a cure, if only we didn't ever get injured, or worn out and tired

Thanks for sharing your tips, and all of your points make sense to me.

How about Exercise and IF?

You might find Dr James Kustow's work interesting. He's recently published the book 'How to Thrive with Adult ADHD'.
