From what I understand he is saying that people get misdiagnosed with ADD/ADHD when they have a concussion, which I think makes perfect sense based on my own experience. I have diagnosed ADD, and recently had a concussion. Before I knew I had a concussion, I remember I taught that my ADD symptomes was getting so much worse than before. So it makes sense to misdiagnose people with ADHD since there is a big overlap in the symptomes.
Great Talk Saied!! Way to bring awareness to this important topic. Always been a fan of you, since our days back at CCNM. I just hope more people with TBIs get evaluated for them before being "diagnosed" with other conditions.
I found this very interesting...I have adhd but I was diagnosed at about age 9. Then I received 4 mild concussions about 3 years ago from playing waterpolo. They all occurred within a span of 8 months of each other. So basically, I had already been diagnosed with ADHD way before the concussions and if anything my symptoms from the concussions were longer lasting than they would’ve been in any other “regular” person (someone without ADHD). Additionally, I never blacked out during any of the concussions I got. however, I know for sure my ADHD was not a misdiagnosis bc it was previously diagnosed pre-concussion(s). It really sucked bc I wanted to heal faster but I knew that people who have ADHD take longer to get over the symptoms for some reason which really sucked.
I had a few as a child and wasn’t diagnosed until 38
Dr. Mushtagh is a trusted Naturopath and he is highly recommended. He helped our family tremendously.
I've had 3 major head concussions in the course of a year. It brought my ADHD to the forefront. My concussion helped me to be finally diagnosed with ADHD. I guess I already knew but I for some reason never asked for it to be looked at. Thinking is a genuine struggle. I'm currently all dressed and ready to go out but I'm struggling to leave the house.
I have adhd and I tried really hard to remember a single concussion that I had in my life, I had none...
Epic bro! Rockin it! 😀🥳🙌🎆🎉💛
Some concussions demage the dopamineric System. So there is the Connection
Well, I was in a car crash while in the womb (as on not born yet)
Question, could someone with this diagnosis also have CTE?
Another loosey-goose TED talk on ADHD. No real discussion of the typical presentation of each condition, aside from specifying that a concussion doesn’t necessitate a loss of consciousness. Further, many factors distinguish concussions from ADHD. From this layperson’s perspective, there seems to be a goofy, pseudoscientific theme running like a bright thread through the 10+/- presentations I’ve seen on ADHD. Maybe someone can explain TED’s slant, or straighten me out if I’ve missed something.
It makes sense to me that having more concussions make you more likely to have ADHD. Mostly because ADHD make people more careless, more likely to take risks, and notice danger less. So I guess he can say the same about broken legs, the more you had it, the bigger the chance you have ADHD... The question is, is head injury more common than others when you have ADHD? I couldn't find an answer so far.
Or ask your self. Dose he keep getting concussion because he has adhd
I don't see how debilitating brain function due to a concussion can be called ADHD. I understand that traumatic injuries can damage the frontal cortex of the brain, but should that not be referred to as a form of brain damage? ADHD is a BRAIN DEVELOPMENT DISORDER that is primarily inherited, TRAUMA is not. That said, due to higher risk-taking behaviors, it makes absolute sense that people with ADHD are more likely to end up with a concussion. So, perhaps it takes an INJURY to be properly diagnosed with a DISORDER (ADHD) that they've had all along?
