Because these patients have a lot of energy and they just want to release that energy that's why they bounce everywhere and tease alot therapist give them some activities to calm their extra energy
Hello, I have had this experience so I tried to ignore my ADHD. Eventually it will take a toll on their self esteem and maybe they will think they’re depressed or even bipolar, when it’s ADHD.
Hello, I am a teacher aid and have a student (5) who has ADHD. I do my best to help him and understand where his behavior is coming from rather than simply “punishing” it. May I ask what things help you cope in school and how teacher can help you feel accepted and supported in school? Thank you
It’s a shame we require our kids to sit still for so many hours of the day and put pressure on them to complete homework , children have so much energy to burn and should have the freedom to be creative and imaginative
I agree, the way most schools work isn't child friendly. But kids with ADHD struggle a lot more, and have other problems bc of the disorder; changing the away we taught children would help a lot, but ADHD people would still need psychology support
There's a difference between anenergetic child and a child with adhd. My child is so hyper that eating and staying safe and being around other people is extremely difficult. I can tell my child is not happy with so much energy and not sleeping.
ADHD kids and kids in general need to have more activity in school. What’s so bad bout a child not wanting to sit and read a book they are not interested in for 1 hour because the teacher assigns it. More freedom in choice and more activity benefits all students to explore their creativity and stay happy and healthy. I would always want to get up and leave class to walk around because I was bored. Not because I was a trouble maker. Being labeled a trouble maker for wanting to move around, is what’s actually hurting children’s self esteem, not having adhd.
I couldn't agree more. School forces you to focus on things you don't like and you don't have any option to do otherwise like you are in a cage. I might have ADHD because I do act out from emotions and have a bad time management and have a hard time focusing. It started when I was like 13
I've said this for years..along with the school hours..I know parents have to work so that's probably not gonna change..but waking kids as young as 4 up at sometimes 5-6 am every morning expecting them to be productive for 8 hours is just unrealistic.
My son doesn't have adhd. But from the time he opens his eyes til the time he LITERALLY just knocks out, he doesnt stop moving or talking hahaha. Some would say this is adhd. Id say this is the life of a young boy. Schedules and guidance works miracles.. Also so does counting to 3, and on 3 putting them in bed and walking away. Very rarely will I get to three.. On the "thr..." My son listens lol.
Thats from "time to time". What differs a normal child and a child with ADHD is the severity and frequency of the symptoms (and neurological/developmental differences). The behaviour you're describing can be typical for normal kids who are very young, especially in boys. And when I was a kid with ADHD, putting me in bed never worked like that. Getting to bed rarely ever works with ADHD. So yes, your child definitely doesn't have ADHD, and no one, especially not a reasonable psychiatrist, would say this is ADHD. People with ADHD have real struggles so it is not all "misdiagnosis" or in our head, and it continues on into adulthood most of the time.
In my opinion you don't have to drug your children up on drugs to treat ADHD. My son has ADHD and we have found that counseling and therapy work. Also his engagement in baseball basketball and swimming help him to get out his energy and stay focused on such activities!
@@violetcovert9186 Basically talk therapy with a counselor to let us know what things bother him and make his figity also we ask him to tell us what things he's interested in and what things he can really focus on
ADHD causes a reduction in dopamine in the brain which presents as depression. SSRIs don't work as they target serotonin. A minimal effective dosage is best to go for.
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it.
I was diagnosed with ADHD, but my parents refused to put me on medication because they believed it a total nonsense, cause they grew up in the 70s and 80s and they seen kids with that behavior in their time. They once told me kids mature when they reach to adulthood, so it depends how parents raise their kids. Also my parents disciple me, and I have mature and now I'm in college studying Physiology.
I was diagnosed with it too. They didn't want to put me on meds so instead they made sure I had a healthy diet with limited sugars, and kept me in sports at all times. I know now that a lot of my issues growing up and also now stem from growing up in an emotionally turbulent and chaotic household! I believe trauma to be a bigger, more important source of issues than any diagnosis.
I had a neighborhood friend growing up in the 80’s who had severe adhd. The school was giving him medication like Ritalin, which worked, but without his moms consent. When my mom asked her well aren’t you mad about this? His mom said no, because it’s helping him. Talk about weird!
I always knew I was different from the other kids growing up because they made sure that I knew by treating me differently. I spend most of my childhood watching other people have close friendships and relationships with me excluded. By the time I was in my 20's I basically gave up trying to fit in and watched people come and go in frustration of my 'odd' behaviour. At one time I actually thought I was insane. I'm now 55 years old and have been diagnosed with adult ADHD for the past decade. I've never taken medication for ADD. Recently I removed all wheat, gluten, grains and corn from diet and now, after approx 2 months, I feel like a different person. I actually sleep at night now, I wake rested, the fidgeting and racing brain has stopped and I feel amazing. The off shooting symptoms of depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue (as diagnosed) have also all but disappeared. I recommend trying this diet change to everyone who suffers from ADD/ADHD as well as any other sudden mental illness affliction. Removing these foods from your diet takes a big commitment but imo is 100% worth the sacrifice....especially given what my 'life' was like before.
Thank you for your comments! We're glad your symptoms improved with your dietary changes. However, each person, especially children, need to consult their pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and course of treatment for ADHD. You may be interested to watch another of our videos on the topic of diet and ADHD: th-cam.com/video/yI49ZIRqAR0/w-d-xo.html
To everyone who is against medication for ADHD or think it's fake: I was diagnosed at 21 and because I never had any diagnosis, medication or support I ended up with severe social anxiety from inability to concentrate on anything including conversations or and this caused me to starve myself everyday because I was afraid to eat in front of people. The frustration from not having the ability to do what everyone else can, and being completely overwhelmed by every small task lead to severe mental health issues, self-harm, low grades & inability to hold jobs. I was missed because I was a child who was quiet and not disruptive. I was sluggish and daydreamy rather than loud and hyperactive. Untreated ADHD leads to drug/alcohol abuse, other addiction, dropping out of school, instability in relationships, unemployment, and trouble with the law. It is not just a quirky personality trait the way movies make it seem.
similar characteristics for me. I stayed daydreaming and dissociating in class. I'm very forgetful, but I can hold down a job. I've learned to mediate how I react to things. Severe anxiety as well. ironically my diagnosis is different. I got diagnosed bi polar. snce starting treatment I've been okay. I don't notice a difference though. so I wonder how accurate my diagnosis is though.
I have noticed that the people who are against medication are the who don't have children with adhd. I remember talking to a male who said that he doesn't believe in medication and has a nephew with adhd and who doesn't live with him and he doesn't take care of and he said he didn't like how the medication calmed him down. Easy for him to say that. My child is so hyper that it is dangerous. I'm going to have to put on my boxing gloves to fight with the insurance company to get medication.
@@melodyeasley I'm so proud of you for taking the steps to get help. I have known alot of people who didn't end up well because they were too proud to seek help. Keep up the good work ❤
That's sad..but atleast you know now, so your families, friends will not misunderstand you n you'll get their support. My 10 year old son have adhd with mild authism.Before we diagnosed his disorder, I was judge by people,my very own people for not discipline him, that i spoil him n so on.N we know, we try our best to help him. Sending love n strength ❤❤❤
Mythid GD same. But I can pay attention fairly well, but I guarantee that some point during the learning session I will doze off. I always rock in my chair and tap my feet R A P I D L Y!!! And disorganization? God if you saw my room rn you'd scream bloody murder!!! Or is it Mary? Idk man
Mythid GD I've been thinking lately that I have some sort of mental problem (ADHD isn't bad that's just what I'm gonna call it. At least it's not as bad as issue) but I've thought it was probably depression (got over that in a while) or SAD (social anxiety disorder). My friend has been pressuring me to see someone. I don't want to talk to my parents so I may just go see the counselor. Wait the videos over?
Remember a diagnosis does NOT mean medication it just means treatment in whatever way the child, you, and psychologist thinks works best! It might just mean taking test and doing homework in a quiet place. Dont be scared!
@@uniquegoddess Well ADHD runs in my family especially with the boys and we have found that having them see a therapist helps alot and involving them in activities that they really enjoy and let their energy out on truely keeps them focused
@@barbfrontczak1791 You’re not doping them up. If ADHD medication does not work for you or your child that’s acceptable. But you shouldn’t say things that could make others believe that medication is evil. That would be like me saying heart medication is bad and that people could just workout instead of using the medication which could save their lives.
xxubesinxx Yeah the real problem with ADHD being Diagnosed is that it's very hard to tell the difference between a child that doesn't want to listen or a child who is trying but can't
@@maddyandjay4507 if your young ask your mum to get tested or if your a adult then try and call for a appointment to get tested. I had my test today I have ADHD and a eating disorder and Asperger's no wonder I used to struggle alot lol.
LIKE IKR THEY EXPECT ME TO WRITE ABOUT HOW MY WEEKEND WAS I better not write it because my weekend is shit 5 sentences I can't do that. fuck that lol. But yeh I had a appointment found out I have ADHD,Asperger's and anorexia
ADHD is not only having difficulty in finishing school work or homework independently or during instructed time. My son is diagnosed with ADHD, it also comes with difficulty in following rules or regulations, getting along with others, way too much talking, not patient waiting for his turn and etc. I believe earlier diagnose with all possible treatment can be very helpful in minimizing the negative impacts on child. Medication should not be ruled out without even wanting a trial. It will be a difficult long pathway down to the road because ADHD children can be very creative, energetic and lively but they usually are hard to stick to the end. As a ADHD parent, I am just trying to be patient and positive about my child, and be there when he needs support.
He seems to be listening pretty well to what the doctor is saying, full eye contact. Kid is fine, god forbid he's reluctant to do 15 pages of homework.
FYI, ADHD symptoms is also dependent on the environment of the person. ADHD doesn't mean they'll NEVER sit still. Because there are specific moments where they'll be able to focus. And that's when they're in front of something they like or that is interesting or challenging, or see someone/something new. Because all of that increases your dopamine level, that increases focus and decreases your hyperactivity.
I have adhd. Its really hard to focus in class and really hard to do homework. Doing a test is hard and i always take super long to do it. (Im always the last to finish anything in general) i have really low self esteem and have slight anxiety. I still live my life and im a happy guy. Never give up no matter what u guys have.
im 13 i believe i have adhd and i have for a while i used to make straight As but its gotten worse since i got into middle school and last year i was getting C D and Fs on my tests and im always fidgeting. i never can finish my homework during test i will look around at the room and when the teacher says 10 min warning i start my test and i always turn in my tests late and all my assignments i wait til the last minute to do
@@sariah8653 yes it is awful my grade suffered, i lost friends because i was annoying and i had energy outburst, it was awful so if you can get diagnosed so you can get meds or therapy
@@sariah8653 your grade are going to get lower than what your used to. its harder, it requires more studying. people are going to be mean, girls, boys, just seriously ignore them it feels like its the end of the world when you are someone are in a fight but in the future it wont even matter. i would recommend gum. for helping you concentrate, i know it isnt allowed but do it anyway just dont make it noticable
The child is actually sitting. The child is actually listening and cooperating. He doesn't seem overwhelmed or desperate to leave. Doesn't look like ADHD.
Do you know much about adhd my son is 3 years old he does not stop running from the time he wakes until the time he sleeps , he’s in every drawer fridge , door there is he stands on everything and dosent have any sense of danger , he does not respond to his name and only plays with toys for 20/30 seconds , he also spins everything wheels chairs toys even himself sometimes , he has no attention span at all’s, hes very difficult to contain , even if I try and wear down his energy , it’s no use , he stands on your feet leans in towards you and doesn’t use his balance but is more then capable. Sorry for the long paragraph but I hope u can help. Just to say he’s not been diagnosed for anything yet as he’s still too young , I’m just wondering what it could be as I have lots of brothers and sisters , nieces and nephews and none of them are like my boy we love him more then anything but would like to know what the issue seems to be.
@@bw7228 When he is older, you can have him professionally evaluated but I'm telling you it doesn't do anything to have a "label". We as parents just need to roll with it. God gave you your special child because He knows you can handle it. You will need to become a super parent and advocate for your child. Do not rush into medications. It seems like medicine is the only answer doctors have these days. Research and learn about autism and ADHD and you will be better equipped to parent your child.
I show the nine main symptoms. I never really looked into it before, but I struggle to focus on the same thing, I’m not organised, I struggle to remember time, I’m not good at multitasking and I cant stop fiddling.
Im a firm believer that the kids are just fine, is the school system that has made children frustrated expecting them to be still for hours in a boring lecture of how to pass standardized state tests and to complete a lot of homework. Kids get bored, even I as an adult would start getting anxious if the lectures are boring and long. Im sorrry but kids are built to be active and to learn by doing exciting projects and explore beyond a traditional classroom with so much work. Kids can have fun and learn at the same time. This ADHD diagnosis it may be true but kids dont need to be zombies with meds to be a "normal" kid. These kids need to be understood and need a learning environment for them. They are smart and active. They need stimulation with learning methods that are just for them. The side effects that come with the ADHD meda are so bad. Idk how they can say it worka well. There hasn't been one adhd med that has not made the child have side effects to the point they have to stop the med slowly or they have to start another one again. Academic accommodations and therapy would the best option in my personal opinion.
Why we have so many ADHD in USA? Because teachers want convenient kids: don’t move, don’t talk, don’t argue. They don’t want to make an effort and try to use individual approach , rather to label, diagnose and medicate all kids… easy to control… To kill beautiful spirit of free and natural kid… May be they just overwhelmed by amount of kids they need to teach. I’m not talking about severe cases of ADHD. This diagnosis still inaccurate if mild or even moderate.
I'm a freshman in highschool, I've struggled in school even if I didn't show it in elementary school my whole life, I was given the title of a gifted kid, I would always have to fidget and shake my leg, finally my mom connected the dots and realized every teacher at my conferences said I have trouble focusing and she's finally considering helping and finally getting me medication that I've been thinking I could really use for years
Sometimes there are too many labels on every spectrum. I find that using their strengths and having a clean diet and healthy positive relationships with people is the best.
I have ADHD and only i knows, not even my parents. I struggled a lot especially when i was in grade school. Since it became hindrance to my social life, i worked hard alone and became a top student. Till now my ADHD has not been cured, though it helps me to become stronger and learned to face struggles on my own. Hopefully parents out there will give their children attention and don't make them feel an outcast just because of their uniqueness/weaknesses.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we're happy to hear you worked at school and became a strong person. ADHD is a medical condition that can be managed well with the help of your physician. We recommend you discuss your concerns with him or her.
Please help me! my son has been diagnosed ADHD. teachers said he may have to go to a special school. but is our decision as parents he's all day with one teacher or 2 makes me feel really sad because he's not around kids . he also said he hates his self because he disappoint me a lot ( I never said that or feel that way ) Please Help me! sorry about my poor English I'm learning )
+Sandy Ortiz they can't send him off to another school. My son also has ADHD, you and the school (Principal, Counselor, Teacher) have to set up an appointment called IEP. The IEP is set up so the school can talk with you so find a solution for your son at the school. Please let me know if you have other questions. Please look at the link below: www.wrightslaw.com/blog/im-a-teacher-and-i-know-ieps-arent-being-followed-what-do-i-do/
+Sandy Ortiz +Shevri Balhin Sandy, please make sure that you start with your pediatrician to answer any medical questions you may have. Shervi, thanks for sharing info about IEP, lots of parents don't know this is available to help them and their child.
There is no controlling our symptoms. Only dealing with the urges, and it's impossible not to display some kind of expression in regards to the symptoms that we experience. It's 24/7 relentless struggle. People think it's "just ADHD"
I had ADHD all my life, I never took medication below the age of 21. I graduated high school with a 4.0 and a full scholarship to a private university. Children do not need medication that young! I'm glad my parents didn't let them put me on medication. One time doing Lyft, my passengers were a mother and her child. She was arguing with the school office because they wouldn't let her walk her daughter inside the school on her first day of middle school. She kept saying, my daughter has ADHD she'll get lost, she can't read the schedule, she'll get distracted. Meanwhile the daughter kept saying stop mom, she was clearly embarrassed. Prior to that phone call, they were having a conversation and her daughter was alert and responsive. It really pissed me off how that women used her daughter's adhd as a form to make her seem like she was mentally delayed or retard.
My 6 year old daughter is about to be tested fir ADHD she is almost 7 cant read as she forgets her phonics she has started remembering how to write her own name im so proud if her uts a massive step 😊😊
talking about it in front of him jusy encourages him. if you say he's hyper and can't sit still and can't control their behavior, they'll believe it and act accordingly.
ADHD is very much real but you're right. I'm very careful how I word my sentences about my son to his psychiatrist as he's sitting right there. I wish he did not have to be there listening to it all. Kids will act out what is said about them, even if what is being said is true. An ADHD case in a child can turn into them acting these ways on purpose while it's also an out of control disorder at the same time. I also don't agree with kids having to sit through these conversations because they've got to feel like failures, like they're bad people. And on that note I'm bringing ear phones for my child to his next appt and he can take them out if the psychiatrist wants to speak with him.
I was so hyperactive when I was young and the docs wanted to put me on meds my mom said nope 'n I grew up fine turns out I was just extremely active and needed an outlet so I took up sports.. Track 'n field.... Gave me something to focus on 'n look forward to.. 'n got plenty awards too
I have ADHD and it isn't that bad tbh, it just makes my school rlly entertaining bc I can't control my behaviour so I just make everyone laugh😂😂 #ClassClown
Depends what grade your in, it can make school really difficult and prevent you from graduating or moving on to the next grade. If you are in middle school or elementary then your fine.
Don't put your kids on drugs for this. Be patient, help them learn and they will overcome it. If it's being recommended by the childs teacher, it's for their benefit. One of my nephews was diagnosed with ADHD and he was put in meds, made him worse until his mom got him off......but he made it through with lots of love and guidance. Today he is married with three boys. So glad his mom took him off the drug.
When my son was in elementary school his teachers suggest to me that he might have adhd. But there was an older lady have been a teaching for 30 years. She told me that my son does not have adhd and he does not need medication. In her words: These young teachers are just lazy with no patience. 🤣🤣. Every year my son became less active and when he entered high school he was very mellow and got straight A's and B's.
I just remember never being able to focus in class or sit still, I stimmed a lot (which kids bullied me because of). I also had a lot of trouble controlling my emotions which got me in trouble at school. I was impulsive and broke rules a lot. Kids always complained about sitting next to me in class which really hurt my feelings. I was basically shunned at school all the time. These problems also occurred at home where I would throw huge tantrums and I was aggressive. At 10 years old I was diagnosed with ADHD.
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it.
I have a friend with adhd who takes medicine for it. He absolutely hates it. Everyday at school he would be exhausted due to his medicine and even then he still had trouble focusing and sitting still. The only thing the medicine did for him was make him want to sleep through his classes.
I haven't been diagnosed but I fidget all the time e.g jiggling my leg or tapping and i stop listening when people talk to me, even when it's not particularly boring. I also go through phases of cocentrating really hard for two hours, but then not being able to concentrate at all for five minutes.
Go to medical professional we don’t even want to hear about it because some people like me have it it’s not something not juggle around it’s a real mental illness
Ohh God....: When child is calm ..passive When hyperactive ...ADHD Too much medication..too much medicine but more ilness..whyyyy?? All about business.. If we could walk on the water they would say: see?? Cant swim..thats why walks.. We are all tired of all these ..
No. You have it all wrong. The only reason it is labeled is when it's affecting the function of the childs life and it gets the child services they wouldn't have without the label.
I have adhd,but growing,up I was always good in school and would get A’s even though I had it, it puzzled a few people for a bit but in the end I was officially diagnosed with adhd
I have ADHD, It’s hard to focus, control anger, and control my hyper moods. It’s not easy.. I always not listen in class because of ADHD and I’m always on my phone. I’ve had it for 6 years.
Yeah my adhd causes me to have a lack of impulse control, distractability, emotional dysregulation, fidgeting, low self esteem, poor social skills, and rule breaking behavior.
i think i have ADHD im 12 yrs. old I always get distracted easily its hard to concentrate and hard to understand words can't filter thoughts. though i am still smart but in times of struggle i hang between my grades and life
I usually get distracted by making up stories in my head in class. (i’m being tested for ADHD) I make them up and pretend like it happened to me. I do it at night too. I talk to myself but like mouth the words. I pretend i’m a youtuber telling a story about my bullies as a kid, i pretend i am a kid with cancer telling my story of how i survived or sometimes i pretend that i’m telling a story of a school shooter or a murderer who came in my school. No of these things (Bullying too, i was never bullied just made fun of once or twice but not bullying) have every happened to me, although i tell them like there real. Half the time i get distracted in these stories and start rambling in my head about another thing that’s never happened to me. Sometimes when i’m distracted it’s by something in a TH-cam video, like something normal but with a weird shape, and i image why it looked like that, “Wonder why they made the pillow look like that, maybe it’s more comfy that way? Or maybe it’s made for your back, yes, it’s probably made for your back so you can lay more comfortably” This is what goes on in my head.
I don't know if I do have it but this is some of the mood changes i had. Listening too much (Old habit) Addicted to tobacco and caffeine hard time paying attention sometimes day dreaming sometimes does a lot of work and enjoys it
Hi, i may be able to help, sorry for late reply, i see you are active on your channel so thats why i responded, anyways if your having those "addictions" its what your eating, and drinking thats doing it to you, for example caffeine as great as it is, it actually strips the brain of amino acids, and weakens the organs if your low on amino acids you will experience symptoms of ADD, or crave caffeine, drugs, or tobacco or other things to stimulate you. If your interested in changing how you feel i can recommend a few amino acids you can start with, your brain needs these anyways. To start with you'll want the following: DLPA (DL-Phenylalanine) Tryptophan Tyrosine if you want to further educate yourself on changing your mood and outlook i highly recommend buying this book: www.juliarosscures.com/mood-cure/ any questions let me know.
I always have a attitude and have problems focusing and sometimes I like get tired then not get tired and I talk a lot for no reason and sometimes fast some of this might be from puberty but my friend thinks I have it
In the United States millions of children are diagnosed annually with a mental illness. According to the Mayo Clinic, in a report published by United press international, as high as 88% of patients who seek a second medical opinion, receive a different diagnosis. Dr. Leon Eisenburg was one of the most famous neurologists in the world. He was one of the first to advocate major research studies on children’s developmental problems, like ADHD and autism. Some even identify him as the “inventor” or “founding father” of ADHD. On his deathbed, in 2009, when he was 87 years old, he admitted his belief that, “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.” ADHD is fraud intended to justify starting children on a life of drug addiction. Yet the symptoms are all lumped together and labeled as one big fake disorder helping the pharmaceutical company earn billions while sacrificing the health of our kids. The diagnosis of mental illness in children is far from an exact science. Modern psychiatry has expanded its reach to the point that even the most normal of emotions and mental states are now labeled as one disorder or another. In many cases, a child who is labeled with “disorder“, such as ADHD is based on subjective observations of behaviors that nearly all children exhibit at sometime or another, such as excessive fidgeting or becoming angry after losing a game. Many youngsters are hyperactive or even out of control, which may simply be due to too much sugar. Some key questions would be: -Are children medicated for convenience, or necessity? -What happens to children when they’re medicated at a very young age, during some key formative years? -Do they grow up never knowing who they really are? -What passions might they have developed where it not for the drugs influence? There is a fine line between ordinary bad behavior and pathology which poses the question of whether the latest drugs are taking the place of “good old fashioned parenting“. The long-term effects of psychotropic drugs on children are largely unknown. According to IMS health, an American company that provides information and the largest vendor of US prescribing data, sales of antipsychotic drugs for children have nearly tripled since 2008. In four years sales of these drugs have grown by 89%. In 2018 and estimated 14 billion was spent on antipsychotics in the US. Foster children are prescribed drugs at a rate 12 times higher than any other children on Medicaid. A direct result of drug company tactics that target doctors in the Medicaid program, influencing them to prescribe more drugs to this population. Public schools have financial incentive to diagnose your children with aDHD. Since 1991, the Department of education provides $400 in grant money every year for each child diagnosed and prescribed medication. Today, more than 8 million children have been labeled and registered as permanent patients off the school system. According to the drug enforcement agency, all ADHD drugs are controlled substances, because they are indeed powerful, mind altering, hard-core drugs that can lead to dependency. Patents should be cautious of medical misdiagnosis.
I don’t really listen in school because I get distracted or I am thinking about something else but normally I can answer a question because I’ve already learned about it from the internet or we were just revising it, the only question I can’t really answer is what our teacher just said
I have adhd I have been diagnosed and my parents know about it but they don’t even care they just tell me that I’m lazy or that I can just “overcome it”( I’m 14 btw)
K1NG i get more time on tests and have a scribe because they can keep me on track and remind me if I’m losing focus. If I had nobody I would only get half done
That was the calmest ADHD kid I've ever seen. My son has ADHD and he would not just sit still, he'd ask all the questions and tell the DR his life story and play with the stuff on the wall behind him. I get its just a video but they should show what a kid with ADHD is actually like.
Children today are so lucky to get so many chances. Back when I was at school you would be yelled at and terrorised, back when my parents were at school they would be beaten on the palms with a stick…..
Yeah the medication thing does not work on all kids. My son has tried so many prescriptions and they only make things worse. starts acting even more impulsive. Rolling on the floor, pica, suicidal thoughts/speech, incoherent noises. And some of these additional tips are laughable in my situation too. Preferential seating at school?: he’s just going to get up and run around the class no matter where you sit him.
I have lost all trust in drug Psychiatry. Drug free Psychiatry or a decent psycologist as well as nutrition will go a long way as well as many other methods.
My child only stays still when she's only watching cartoons.. After watching here we go again.. She started to climb anywhere in the house, jumping running all the time.. !! And she's not stopping.
Risk of accident and even mortality is twice as high in people with ADHD. If you think she is at risk, get her evaluated. I had so many accidents doing dangerous things before I was diagnosed and treated (way too late- at 16)
I agree, there should be a lot more tests than just taking the mothers word for it. The doctor should take him into a room and try to get him to do an assignment with her. She should watch his behavior and focus carefully to make sure that he actually has ADHD and is not just a hyper 6 year old boy.
It's affecting him not being able to do 15 15 pages of homework in one sitting .... So something wrong with him..... U CAN'T BE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW ITS A CHILD NOT A ROBOT
so having a imagination is now a problem??? or not being a robot?? 👏👏👏👏 great job society, you love to label but don't blame the shitty food industry.....
????It’s a lot more than that. There’s a ton of issues that build up that totally set you back while ur trying to build success (overconfidence, terrible work ethic, lack of mental filter, inability to properly assess day to day situations, constant daydreaming, etc)
Please research more into giving your child ADHD medications before actually using them, i tried different ADHD medication when i was young and it completely abolished any ability to have a proper social life or understand who i was in any way whatsoever besides what benefited my academic life, i personally cannot recommend any ADHD medication whatsoever.. not meaning you still shouldn’t research them.
my mom took me off my ADHD medicine because it made me drowsy and I had constant head aches and I would lay in bed all day and also if children take it to long you get twitches.
The answer for everything, give them meds. I had and still have Add. I never took meds. It wasn't until I was a junior in high school that I actually started to like school. I found Ginko Biloba and started taking it. I had focus and got good grades. I stopped taking it for a while then took it again in college. I got straight As in math. I was a c student in math. But with a natural supplement and not narcotics I controlled and still control my ADD
Thanks for your comment, everyone is different, and needs to be seen by their pediatrician/physician for appropriate individual treatment. This video is for informational purposes only, not diagnoses.
i’m 15 and i think i might have it but not completely sure. it’s so hard to start projects and i have zero focus or motivation, i can be doing a homework and something will come to mind and i need to talk about it or do it while i still think about it so it distracts me from my work. once i start a project and get into it i can continue going for hours. i always dissociate and fidget too. i have bursts of energy and then periods of absolute exhaustion
That's why this kid may have issues!! What the mom describes just sounds like a typical boy! But in today's society, lefties and feminists try to tell us masculinity is toxic. elephant manure!
so i am from a third world country and i came to knew about ADHD yesterday when pediatrician said my 3 year old could have it,as she constantly touches things doesnt stay still and talks too much with everybody. He asked me if i have ADHD and i said i dont even know what it is,he asked me a couple of questions and said its possible i have it too. i am really hooeful for my child.
DCL electric i have adhd and a few corrosponding disorder. i hated my meds they made me more agressive or anti social which made me more depressed and angry. my parter on the other hand was the opposite.. his meds made a great difference for him. for me the only thing with worked (and if you dont agree plz dont be rude.. im only sharing my experience) but for me it was smoking weed.. our 3 year old son is showing signs of adhd and other corrosponing disorders and iv been looking into cbd oil as a alternative to pharmaceutical amphetamines! i know how they helped me and it was the only thing that helped my symptoms aswell as overall feeling. adhd is just as bad on the child as it is on the people around them. any others parents looking to cbd as an alternative?
Try to put your son on a gluten free diet, I promise it will work. Try it for 3 weeks and you will see a huge improvement, it worked for me when I was younger. Try to avoid foods with wheat, flour, malt, barley and soy sauce.
My cousin is SO annoying but has ADHD. He lies a lot, he won’t listen to you, he won’t sit down, I thought he wasn’t getting enough discipline. I think that’s the problem though. He messes with people at school, and this one time, his teacher walked him home. That’s how bad he is.
Yes my son is now 31, went to college and did 2 yrs grad school in 1 yrs. Has a good job, lives on his own and doing very well. Proud Momma here! Started on Ritalin in Kindergarten. Such a difference to help him focus and have a good brake pedal on his behavior. Took it all through college and in Grad school for test. He currently has decided not to take meds and using other methods to help him get things done. Could use a maid but that’s a whole another story. 😘
Your kid is NORMAL and even if he's not he's 6 years old and deserves a chance. He's not working, doesn't have respondibilities why is it sooo important to sit still while doing homework. Take a break. Don't drug your kid. Please
Cryptopolis In Major Canadian cities, like where I live in BC, The kids in k-3 grades aren't allowed to get no more than 15 minutes of daily schoolwork plus nightly reading. They did a study about too much work on young kids is stress full and the only test is spelling.
Hi BellRain, yes I agree that 15 pages is waaaay too much homework for a grade 1 student. I was being facetious in order to draw attention to the issue. Personally I think that 15-20 minutes of homework per week is plenty for a 6-7 year old kid. Thanks for your reply & have a great day.
I got diagnosed in my mid 30s and I found school absolute hell, my teachers thought I was being naughty to get attention, but in reality I found their teaching techniques mind numbingly boring and I was convinced I was a below average, slow learner...

I'm sorry but why are we expecting a 6 year old to do 15 pages of homework!!! Please!
The repulsiveness of school work makes them unfocused, so in a way... School is making your child sick.
+Kurt Foster true I have it
Leah Wimberly the medicine is a cousin of speed. to help them focus and zoom into things.
Leah Wimberly I'm 12 and I have 50 pages of homework
EXACTLY right??!
15 pages of homework!! 😂😂 what is he like 16?? What a terrible school.
Yeah deeeffintly 16 lol
It's probably, he missed a week's work
When I was in 2nd grade they would give big homework packets everyday👁💧👄💧👁
Because these patients have a lot of energy and they just want to release that energy that's why they bounce everywhere and tease alot therapist give them some activities to calm their extra energy
bruh imagine
what a cringe school
My brother has ADHD. He gets like super excited and bounce around a lot but there isnt anything bad about it
sameee!!!!
My son has ADHD and yet he is a happy child having a good childhood. So many people think it's the end of the world,but it's not!
Thadoll Asia I have adhd and I couldn’t agree more
Hello, I have had this experience so I tried to ignore my ADHD. Eventually it will take a toll on their self esteem and maybe they will think they’re depressed or even bipolar, when it’s ADHD.
@@barbfrontczak1791 but how?
I suffer with ADHD but my teacher handles it very well so I'm glad
***** im 11
my teachers didn't know i had adhd so they get really mad at me today
Hello, I am a teacher aid and have a student (5) who has ADHD. I do my best to help him and understand where his behavior is coming from rather than simply “punishing” it. May I ask what things help you cope in school and how teacher can help you feel accepted and supported in school? Thank you
My teacher screams at me
So 14 now hows middle school
It’s a shame we require our kids to sit still for so many hours of the day and put pressure on them to complete homework , children have so much energy to burn and should have the freedom to be creative and imaginative
Exactly!
I agree, the way most schools work isn't child friendly. But kids with ADHD struggle a lot more, and have other problems bc of the disorder; changing the away we taught children would help a lot, but ADHD people would still need psychology support
There's a difference between anenergetic child and a child with adhd.
My child is so hyper that eating and staying safe and being around other people is extremely difficult.
I can tell my child is not happy with so much energy and not sleeping.
ADHD kids and kids in general need to have more activity in school. What’s so bad bout a child not wanting to sit and read a book they are not interested in for 1 hour because the teacher assigns it. More freedom in choice and more activity benefits all students to explore their creativity and stay happy and healthy. I would always want to get up and leave class to walk around because I was bored. Not because I was a trouble maker. Being labeled a trouble maker for wanting to move around, is what’s actually hurting children’s self esteem, not having adhd.
I couldn't agree more. School forces you to focus on things you don't like and you don't have any option to do otherwise like you are in a cage. I might have ADHD because I do act out from emotions and have a bad time management and have a hard time focusing. It started when I was like 13
I've said this for years..along with the school hours..I know parents have to work so that's probably not gonna change..but waking kids as young as 4 up at sometimes 5-6 am every morning expecting them to be productive for 8 hours is just unrealistic.
I have ADHD I can't stop looking at that background tho. 😂 (Edit) Wow so many likes and comments thanks :>

My son doesn't have adhd. But from the time he opens his eyes til the time he LITERALLY just knocks out, he doesnt stop moving or talking hahaha. Some would say this is adhd. Id say this is the life of a young boy. Schedules and guidance works miracles.. Also so does counting to 3, and on 3 putting them in bed and walking away. Very rarely will I get to three.. On the "thr..." My son listens lol.
How old is he
Thats from "time to time". What differs a normal child and a child with ADHD is the severity and frequency of the symptoms (and neurological/developmental differences). The behaviour you're describing can be typical for normal kids who are very young, especially in boys. And when I was a kid with ADHD, putting me in bed never worked like that. Getting to bed rarely ever works with ADHD.
So yes, your child definitely doesn't have ADHD, and no one, especially not a reasonable psychiatrist, would say this is ADHD. People with ADHD have real struggles so it is not all "misdiagnosis" or in our head, and it continues on into adulthood most of the time.
In my opinion you don't have to drug your children up on drugs to treat ADHD. My son has ADHD and we have found that counseling and therapy work. Also his engagement in baseball basketball and swimming help him to get out his energy and stay focused on such activities!
barb frontczak what kind of counseling/therapy?
@@violetcovert9186 Basically talk therapy with a counselor to let us know what things bother him and make his figity also we ask him to tell us what things he's interested in and what things he can really focus on
I agree with the sports! They just need something to transfer their energy to.
Nothing else works for me
ADHD causes a reduction in dopamine in the brain which presents as depression. SSRIs don't work as they target serotonin. A minimal effective dosage is best to go for.
There are still people that don't believe that ADHD exists. Shocking. They need to watch this video. Thank you for creating this important service.
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it.
I was diagnosed with ADHD, but my parents refused to put me on medication because they believed it a total nonsense, cause they grew up in the 70s and 80s and they seen kids with that behavior in their time. They once told me kids mature when they reach to adulthood, so it depends how parents raise their kids.
Also my parents disciple me, and I have mature and now I'm in college studying Physiology.
I was diagnosed with it too. They didn't want to put me on meds so instead they made sure I had a healthy diet with limited sugars, and kept me in sports at all times. I know now that a lot of my issues growing up and also now stem from growing up in an emotionally turbulent and chaotic household! I believe trauma to be a bigger, more important source of issues than any diagnosis.
I had a neighborhood friend growing up in the 80’s who had severe adhd. The school was giving him medication like Ritalin, which worked, but without his moms consent. When my mom asked her well aren’t you mad about this? His mom said no, because it’s helping him. Talk about weird!
There were no kids in the 70s and 80s with this newly named ADHD
TOTAL BULLSHIT .
Bad parenting it is
@@Cani6alI agree
Beautiful story. ❤
I always knew I was different from the other kids growing up because they made sure that I knew by treating me differently. I spend most of my childhood watching other people have close friendships and relationships with me excluded. By the time I was in my 20's I basically gave up trying to fit in and watched people come and go in frustration of my 'odd' behaviour. At one time I actually thought I was insane. I'm now 55 years old and have been diagnosed with adult ADHD for the past decade. I've never taken medication for ADD. Recently I removed all wheat, gluten, grains and corn from diet and now, after approx 2 months, I feel like a different person. I actually sleep at night now, I wake rested, the fidgeting and racing brain has stopped and I feel amazing. The off shooting symptoms of depression, anxiety and chronic fatigue (as diagnosed) have also all but disappeared. I recommend trying this diet change to everyone who suffers from ADD/ADHD as well as any other sudden mental illness affliction. Removing these foods from your diet takes a big commitment but imo is 100% worth the sacrifice....especially given what my 'life' was like before.
Thank you for your comments! We're glad your symptoms improved with your dietary changes. However, each person, especially children, need to consult their pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and course of treatment for ADHD. You may be interested to watch another of our videos on the topic of diet and ADHD: th-cam.com/video/yI49ZIRqAR0/w-d-xo.html
Really ?my son has adhd.. will try this diet for him.i hope it works.thank you

@@appledesierto5002 Did it work?
Thanks for sharing. I am curious, did you come from a nuclear family-mum and dad present or not?
To everyone who is against medication for ADHD or think it's fake: I was diagnosed at 21 and because I never had any diagnosis, medication or support I ended up with severe social anxiety from inability to concentrate on anything including conversations or and this caused me to starve myself everyday because I was afraid to eat in front of people. The frustration from not having the ability to do what everyone else can, and being completely overwhelmed by every small task lead to severe mental health issues, self-harm, low grades & inability to hold jobs. I was missed because I was a child who was quiet and not disruptive. I was sluggish and daydreamy rather than loud and hyperactive. Untreated ADHD leads to drug/alcohol abuse, other addiction, dropping out of school, instability in relationships, unemployment, and trouble with the law. It is not just a quirky personality trait the way movies make it seem.
Thank you for your comments and we wish you continued health and happiness.
similar characteristics for me. I stayed daydreaming and dissociating in class. I'm very forgetful, but I can hold down a job. I've learned to mediate how I react to things. Severe anxiety as well. ironically my diagnosis is different. I got diagnosed bi polar. snce starting treatment I've been okay. I don't notice a difference though. so I wonder how accurate my diagnosis is though.
I have noticed that the people who are against medication are the who don't have children with adhd.
I remember talking to a male who said that he doesn't believe in medication and has a nephew with adhd and who doesn't live with him and he doesn't take care of and he said he didn't like how the medication calmed him down.
Easy for him to say that.
My child is so hyper that it is dangerous.
I'm going to have to put on my boxing gloves to fight with the insurance company to get medication.
@@melodyeasley I'm so proud of you for taking the steps to get help.
I have known alot of people who didn't end up well because they were too proud to seek help.

That's sad..but atleast you know now, so your families, friends will not misunderstand you n you'll get their support.
My 10 year old son have adhd with mild authism.Before we diagnosed his disorder, I was judge by people,my very own people for not discipline him, that i spoil him n so on.N we know, we try our best to help him.

I think I have ADHD. I'm 12 and I always tap in class, always turn around in class when I get bored. I can never stop moving.
Mythid GD same. But I can pay attention fairly well, but I guarantee that some point during the learning session I will doze off. I always rock in my chair and tap my feet R A P I D L Y!!! And disorganization? God if you saw my room rn you'd scream bloody murder!!! Or is it Mary? Idk man
Mythid GD I've been thinking lately that I have some sort of mental problem (ADHD isn't bad that's just what I'm gonna call it. At least it's not as bad as issue) but I've thought it was probably depression (got over that in a while) or SAD (social anxiety disorder). My friend has been pressuring me to see someone. I don't want to talk to my parents so I may just go see the counselor. Wait the videos over?
search up tom brown add/adhd attention hyperactive defiency disorder. Its a pinpoint accurate video and described my life. it helped me get diagnosed
Mythid GD exactly me
Mythid GD same here
Remember a diagnosis does NOT mean medication it just means treatment in whatever way the child, you, and psychologist thinks works best! It might just mean taking test and doing homework in a quiet place. Dont be scared!
I wouldn't even do 15 pages without fidgeting or holding still or lossing focus easily
This sounds like a commercial
Yeah commercial to drug up your children with ADHD medicine so sad because there are other options available for treatment

@@uniquegoddess Well ADHD runs in my family especially with the boys and we have found that having them see a therapist helps alot and involving them in activities that they really enjoy and let their energy out on truely keeps them focused

You’re not doping them up. If ADHD medication does not work for you or your child that’s acceptable. But you shouldn’t say things that could make others believe that medication is evil. That would be like me saying heart medication is bad and that people could just workout instead of using the medication which could save their lives.
My daughter is 6 in kindergarten, her work is 2 pages which can be finished within 10 minutes. 15 pages is outrageous.

@@SprinklzZWinner damn dude, I wish you good luck that sucks man
ADHD is not only having difficulty in finishing school work or homework independently or during instructed time. My son is diagnosed with ADHD, it also comes with difficulty in following rules or regulations, getting along with others, way too much talking, not patient waiting for his turn and etc. I believe earlier diagnose with all possible treatment can be very helpful in minimizing the negative impacts on child. Medication should not be ruled out without even wanting a trial.
It will be a difficult long pathway down to the road because ADHD children can be very creative, energetic and lively but they usually are hard to stick to the end. As a ADHD parent, I am just trying to be patient and positive about my child, and be there when he needs support.
That's me haha
He seems to be listening pretty well to what the doctor is saying, full eye contact. Kid is fine, god forbid he's reluctant to do 15 pages of homework.
FYI, ADHD symptoms is also dependent on the environment of the person. ADHD doesn't mean they'll NEVER sit still. Because there are specific moments where they'll be able to focus. And that's when they're in front of something they like or that is interesting or challenging, or see someone/something new. Because all of that increases your dopamine level, that increases focus and decreases your hyperactivity.
@@gaara33373 True, not everyone's ADHD is the same
I have adhd. Its really hard to focus in class and really hard to do homework.
Doing a test is hard and i always take super long to do it. (Im always the last to finish anything in general) i have really low self esteem and have slight anxiety. I still live my life and im a happy guy. Never give up no matter what u guys have.
i was exactly like this child at one point when i was younger, i’m now 13 and getting help from my doctors :)
im 13 i believe i have adhd and i have for a while i used to make straight As but its gotten worse since i got into middle school and last year i was getting C D and Fs on my tests and im always fidgeting. i never can finish my homework during test i will look around at the room and when the teacher says 10 min warning i start my test and i always turn in my tests late and all my assignments i wait til the last minute to do

is it harder in middle school?
@@sariah8653 yes it is awful my grade suffered, i lost friends because i was annoying and i had energy outburst, it was awful so if you can get diagnosed so you can get meds or therapy
@@maddie-lynn6982 Any advise for middle school?
@@sariah8653 your grade are going to get lower than what your used to. its harder, it requires more studying. people are going to be mean, girls, boys, just seriously ignore them it feels like its the end of the world when you are someone are in a fight but in the future it wont even matter. i would recommend gum. for helping you concentrate, i know it isnt allowed but do it anyway just dont make it noticable
The child is actually sitting. The child is actually listening and cooperating. He doesn't seem overwhelmed or desperate to leave. Doesn't look like ADHD.
Do you know much about adhd my son is 3 years old he does not stop running from the time he wakes until the time he sleeps , he’s in every drawer fridge , door there is he stands on everything and dosent have any sense of danger , he does not respond to his name and only plays with toys for 20/30 seconds , he also spins everything wheels chairs toys even himself sometimes , he has no attention span at all’s, hes very difficult to contain , even if I try and wear down his energy , it’s no use , he stands on your feet leans in towards you and doesn’t use his balance but is more then capable. Sorry for the long paragraph but I hope u can help.
Just to say he’s not been diagnosed for anything yet as he’s still too young , I’m just wondering what it could be as I have lots of brothers and sisters , nieces and nephews and none of them are like my boy we love him more then anything but would like to know what the issue seems to be.
@@bw7228 When he is older, you can have him professionally evaluated but I'm telling you it doesn't do anything to have a "label". We as parents just need to roll with it. God gave you your special child because He knows you can handle it. You will need to become a super parent and advocate for your child. Do not rush into medications. It seems like medicine is the only answer doctors have these days. Research and learn about autism and ADHD and you will be better equipped to parent your child.
Medication can be the worst i have or had adhd.... its better if you go for the sports and outdoors thats a lot better then medicine
I show the nine main symptoms. I never really looked into it before, but I struggle to focus on the same thing, I’m not organised, I struggle to remember time, I’m not good at multitasking and I cant stop fiddling.
Im a firm believer that the kids are just fine, is the school system that has made children frustrated expecting them to be still for hours in a boring lecture of how to pass standardized state tests and to complete a lot of homework. Kids get bored, even I as an adult would start getting anxious if the lectures are boring and long. Im sorrry but kids are built to be active and to learn by doing exciting projects and explore beyond a traditional classroom with so much work. Kids can have fun and learn at the same time. This ADHD diagnosis it may be true but kids dont need to be zombies with meds to be a "normal" kid. These kids need to be understood and need a learning environment for them. They are smart and active. They need stimulation with learning methods that are just for them. The side effects that come with the ADHD meda are so bad. Idk how they can say it worka well. There hasn't been one adhd med that has not made the child have side effects to the point they have to stop the med slowly or they have to start another one again. Academic accommodations and therapy would the best option in my personal opinion.
Says someone without kids with ADHD. Sit down
Why we have so many ADHD in USA? Because teachers want convenient kids: don’t move, don’t talk, don’t argue. They don’t want to make an effort and try to use individual approach , rather to label, diagnose and medicate all kids… easy to control… To kill beautiful spirit of free and natural kid… May be they just overwhelmed by amount of kids they need to teach. I’m not talking about severe cases of ADHD. This diagnosis still inaccurate if mild or even moderate.
I'm a freshman in highschool, I've struggled in school even if I didn't show it in elementary school my whole life, I was given the title of a gifted kid, I would always have to fidget and shake my leg, finally my mom connected the dots and realized every teacher at my conferences said I have trouble focusing and she's finally considering helping and finally getting me medication that I've been thinking I could really use for years
The medications help?
@@somethingwithbungalows a little, it's a small dosage right now though to see how it goes, its not the final dosage
purplecatlover1825 randompizza alright. I tried them once in Elementary but my Grandma thought I got worse.
I had ADHD and grew out of it. I was able to graduate College and don’t have any of those reactions anymore.
Sometimes there are too many labels on every spectrum. I find that using their strengths and having a clean diet and healthy positive relationships with people is the best.
The kids with ADHD wouldn't need the counseling if the teachers and parents were counciled BEFORE bringing down their self-esteem
I have ADHD and only i knows, not even my parents. I struggled a lot especially when i was in grade school. Since it became hindrance to my social life, i worked hard alone and became a top student. Till now my ADHD has not been cured, though it helps me to become stronger and learned to face struggles on my own. Hopefully parents out there will give their children attention and don't make them feel an outcast just because of their uniqueness/weaknesses.

give up refined sugars and grains... see if this helps.
alternately, feed the creativity.
There is no controlling our symptoms. Only dealing with the urges, and it's impossible not to display some kind of expression in regards to the symptoms that we experience. It's 24/7 relentless struggle. People think it's "just ADHD"
this.
I had ADHD all my life, I never took medication below the age of 21. I graduated high school with a 4.0 and a full scholarship to a private university. Children do not need medication that young! I'm glad my parents didn't let them put me on medication. One time doing Lyft, my passengers were a mother and her child. She was arguing with the school office because they wouldn't let her walk her daughter inside the school on her first day of middle school. She kept saying, my daughter has ADHD she'll get lost, she can't read the schedule, she'll get distracted. Meanwhile the daughter kept saying stop mom, she was clearly embarrassed. Prior to that phone call, they were having a conversation and her daughter was alert and responsive. It really pissed me off how that women used her daughter's adhd as a form to make her seem like she was mentally delayed or retard.
Every child is different, and should be evaluated by a medical professional. Thank you for your comments!
My 6 year old daughter is about to be tested fir ADHD she is almost 7 cant read as she forgets her phonics she has started remembering how to write her own name im so proud if her uts a massive step 😊😊
talking about it in front of him jusy encourages him. if you say he's hyper and can't sit still and can't control their behavior, they'll believe it and act accordingly.
A proper diagnosis from a health care professional is what we always advocate. Every child/person is different. Thanks for your comment.
ADHD is very much real but you're right. I'm very careful how I word my sentences about my son to his psychiatrist as he's sitting right there. I wish he did not have to be there listening to it all. Kids will act out what is said about them, even if what is being said is true. An ADHD case in a child can turn into them acting these ways on purpose while it's also an out of control disorder at the same time. I also don't agree with kids having to sit through these conversations because they've got to feel like failures, like they're bad people. And on that note I'm bringing ear phones for my child to his next appt and he can take them out if the psychiatrist wants to speak with him.
I was so hyperactive when I was young and the docs wanted to put me on meds my mom said nope 'n I grew up fine turns out I was just extremely active and needed an outlet so I took up sports.. Track 'n field.... Gave me something to focus on 'n look forward to.. 'n got plenty awards too
We tried different sports with my son, he absoloutley hated it! Being outdoors and riding bike/scooter etc. is the only thing he enjoys :)
I'm glad I have adhd. You're like way more creative than other people. Plus when something is
Interesting I hyperfocus
You probably dont have it so severe then. I can assure you nobody with severe adhd are thankful for it
@@susannemoseidbryhni9898 I’m certainly not.
I have ADHD and it isn't that bad tbh, it just makes my school rlly entertaining bc I can't control my behaviour so I just make everyone laugh😂😂 #ClassClown
Depends what grade your in, it can make school really difficult and prevent you from graduating or moving on to the next grade. If you are in middle school or elementary then your fine.
@@miwp4244 agreed, but with ADHD you can still graudate and move into the next grade. Teachers and parents need to put in some extra support.
@@rich.5496 totally agree with every word you just said, all I’m saying is it just gets harder
Aww my son is this way and he’s only trying to be funny some people see it as being annoying and it makes me so sad 😞 that people see kids like this .
Don't put your kids on drugs for this. Be patient, help them learn and they will overcome it. If it's being recommended by the childs teacher, it's for their benefit. One of my nephews was diagnosed with ADHD and he was put in meds, made him worse until his mom got him off......but he made it through with lots of love and guidance. Today he is married with three boys. So glad his mom took him off the drug.
Thank you for your comment, every child's situation is unique. Please consult your pediatrician for an accurate diagnosis.
When my son was in elementary school his teachers suggest to me that he might have adhd. But there was an older lady have been a teaching for 30 years. She told me that my son does not have adhd and he does not need medication. In her words: These young teachers are just lazy with no patience. 🤣🤣. Every year my son became less active and when he entered high school he was very mellow and got straight A's and B's.
As a parent the best type Behavior control is discipline
I just remember never being able to focus in class or sit still, I stimmed a lot (which kids bullied me because of). I also had a lot of trouble controlling my emotions which got me in trouble at school. I was impulsive and broke rules a lot. Kids always complained about sitting next to me in class which really hurt my feelings. I was basically shunned at school all the time. These problems also occurred at home where I would throw huge tantrums and I was aggressive. At 10 years old I was diagnosed with ADHD.
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it.
I just recently found out by my mother that I was diagnosed as a child with ADHD but my mother denied treatment. 🤦🏼♀️
The system should change, not the child
I have a friend with adhd who takes medicine for it. He absolutely hates it. Everyday at school he would be exhausted due to his medicine and even then he still had trouble focusing and sitting still. The only thing the medicine did for him was make him want to sleep through his classes.
my son is 7 with adhd i love are school they are so good with him iam so proud of him he is writing letters now yaaa
I haven't been diagnosed but I fidget all the time e.g jiggling my leg or tapping and i stop listening when people talk to me, even when it's not particularly boring. I also go through phases of cocentrating really hard for two hours, but then not being able to concentrate at all for five minutes.
Go to medical professional we don’t even want to hear about it because some people like me have it it’s not something not juggle around it’s a real mental illness
Very nice explanation.. Easy to understand.. Thank you mam for valuable informative presentation..
Ohh God....:
When child is calm ..passive
When hyperactive ...ADHD
Too much medication..too much medicine but more ilness..whyyyy??
All about business..
If we could walk on the water they would say: see?? Cant swim..thats why walks..
We are all tired of all these ..
No. You have it all wrong. The only reason it is labeled is when it's affecting the function of the childs life and it gets the child services they wouldn't have without the label.
soo true.ADHD is a bulshit.If a child hyperactive it means that child is healthy and happy.
It’s probably b/c u have poor grammar and spelling
Catherine Paris ohh soo sorry the Creator of English Language Grammar.. the lord of English spelling. My Apologize...
Let’s treat all choleric temper individuals as ADHD! Crazy!
I have adhd,but growing,up I was always good in school and would get A’s even though I had it, it puzzled a few people for a bit but in the end I was officially diagnosed with adhd
15 pages???? That's wrong. I would tell the teacher that I refuse to make my child do that.
I have ADHD, It’s hard to focus, control anger, and control my hyper moods. It’s not easy.. I always not listen in class because of ADHD and I’m always on my phone. I’ve had it for 6 years.
Yeah my adhd causes me to have a lack of impulse control, distractability, emotional dysregulation, fidgeting, low self esteem, poor social skills, and rule breaking behavior.
i think i have ADHD im 12 yrs. old I always get distracted easily its hard to concentrate and hard to understand words can't filter thoughts. though i am still smart but in times of struggle i hang between my grades and life
I usually get distracted by making up stories in my head in class. (i’m being tested for ADHD) I make them up and pretend like it happened to me. I do it at night too. I talk to myself but like mouth the words. I pretend i’m a youtuber telling a story about my bullies as a kid, i pretend i am a kid with cancer telling my story of how i survived or sometimes i pretend that i’m telling a story of a school shooter or a murderer who came in my school. No of these things (Bullying too, i was never bullied just made fun of once or twice but not bullying) have every happened to me, although i tell them like there real. Half the time i get distracted in these stories and start rambling in my head about another thing that’s never happened to me. Sometimes when i’m distracted it’s by something in a TH-cam video, like something normal but with a weird shape, and i image why it looked like that, “Wonder why they made the pillow look like that, maybe it’s more comfy that way? Or maybe it’s made for your back, yes, it’s probably made for your back so you can lay more comfortably”
This is what goes on in my head.
I don't know if I do have it but this is some of the mood changes i had.
Listening too much (Old habit)
Addicted to tobacco and caffeine
hard time paying attention sometimes
day dreaming sometimes
does a lot of work and enjoys it
Hi, i may be able to help, sorry for late reply, i see you are active on your channel so thats why i responded, anyways if your having those "addictions" its what your eating, and drinking thats doing it to you, for example caffeine as great as it is, it actually strips the brain of amino acids, and weakens the organs if your low on amino acids you will experience symptoms of ADD, or crave caffeine, drugs, or tobacco or other things to stimulate you.
If your interested in changing how you feel i can recommend a few amino acids you can start with, your brain needs these anyways.
To start with you'll want the following:
DLPA (DL-Phenylalanine)
Tryptophan
Tyrosine
if you want to further educate yourself on changing your mood and outlook i highly recommend buying this book:

any questions let me know.
I always have a attitude and have problems focusing and sometimes I like get tired then not get tired and I talk a lot for no reason and sometimes fast some of this might be from puberty but my friend thinks I have it
In the United States millions of children are diagnosed annually with a mental illness. According to the Mayo Clinic, in a report published by United press international, as high as 88% of patients who seek a second medical opinion, receive a different diagnosis.
Dr. Leon Eisenburg was one of the most famous neurologists in the world. He was one of the first to advocate major research studies on children’s developmental problems, like ADHD and autism. Some even identify him as the “inventor” or “founding father” of ADHD.
On his deathbed, in 2009, when he was 87 years old, he admitted his belief that, “ADHD is a prime example of a fictitious disease.”
ADHD is fraud intended to justify starting children on a life of drug addiction.
Yet the symptoms are all lumped together and labeled as one big fake disorder helping the pharmaceutical company earn billions while sacrificing the health of our kids. The diagnosis of mental illness in children is far from an exact science. Modern psychiatry has expanded its reach to the point that even the most normal of emotions and mental states are now labeled as one disorder or another. In many cases, a child who is labeled with “disorder“, such as ADHD is based on subjective observations of behaviors that nearly all children exhibit at sometime or another, such as excessive fidgeting or becoming angry after losing a game. Many youngsters are hyperactive or even out of control, which may simply be due to too much sugar.
Some key questions would be: -Are children medicated for convenience, or necessity?
-What happens to children when they’re medicated at a very young age, during some key formative years?
-Do they grow up never knowing who they really are?
-What passions might they have developed where it not for the drugs influence?
There is a fine line between ordinary bad behavior and pathology which poses the question of whether the latest drugs are taking the place of “good old fashioned parenting“.
The long-term effects of psychotropic drugs on children are largely unknown.
According to IMS health, an American company that provides information and the largest vendor of US prescribing data, sales of antipsychotic drugs for children have nearly tripled since 2008.
In four years sales of these drugs have grown by 89%.
In 2018 and estimated 14 billion was spent on antipsychotics in the US.
Foster children are prescribed drugs at a rate 12 times higher than any other children on Medicaid. A direct result of drug company tactics that target doctors in the Medicaid program, influencing them to prescribe more drugs to this population.
Public schools have financial incentive to diagnose your children with aDHD.
Since 1991, the Department of education provides $400 in grant money every year for each child diagnosed and prescribed medication.
Today, more than 8 million children have been labeled and registered as permanent patients off the school system.
According to the drug enforcement agency, all ADHD drugs are controlled substances, because they are indeed powerful, mind altering, hard-core drugs that can lead to dependency.
Patents should be cautious of medical misdiagnosis.

Do true and so sad!!!!!
woah watching in 1.5x speed helps me so much
Am i meant to be paying attention to this cause I'm not ... I got distracted by the comments
I don’t really listen in school because I get distracted or I am thinking about something else but normally I can answer a question because I’ve already learned about it from the internet or we were just revising it, the only question I can’t really answer is what our teacher just said
DONT GIVE YOUR KIDS THOSE DANGEROUS DRUGS!
ive been on them since i was 7 im 16 now
ive been on them since i was 7 im 16 now
@@fapplejacks2736 pls tell me the medicines....I have 3 years 1 months ADHA kid
My math and English teacher get soooo mad at me because they think I don’t care or I just wanna talk, I try I really do. I just can’t help it
Who else is 11-14 and think have adhd but ur mum \ dad says "your going through puberty its just mood swings " 😂😂
I have adhd I have been diagnosed and my parents know about it but they don’t even care they just tell me that I’m lazy or that I can just “overcome it”( I’m 14 btw)
3:12 Extended time on tests 😣 that's literally me and I never saw anyone actually get more time on tests in my school
K1NG i get more time on tests and have a scribe because they can keep me on track and remind me if I’m losing focus. If I had nobody I would only get half done
Is this woman trying to get these kids to not focus!! I mean there is a Toy story poster in the background
1BmX Rider joking
That was the calmest ADHD kid I've ever seen. My son has ADHD and he would not just sit still, he'd ask all the questions and tell the DR his life story and play with the stuff on the wall behind him. I get its just a video but they should show what a kid with ADHD is actually like.
There are people who have a more severe or mild case of adhd.
Am I the only one who sees a Toy Story poster on the doctor's office?
Noticed that lol😂
Children today are so lucky to get so many chances. Back when I was at school you would be yelled at and terrorised, back when my parents were at school they would be beaten on the palms with a stick…..
Yeah the medication thing does not work on all kids. My son has tried so many prescriptions and they only make things worse. starts acting even more impulsive. Rolling on the floor, pica, suicidal thoughts/speech, incoherent noises. And some of these additional tips are laughable in my situation too. Preferential seating at school?: he’s just going to get up and run around the class no matter where you sit him.
I have lost all trust in drug Psychiatry. Drug free Psychiatry or a decent psycologist as well as nutrition will go a long way as well as many other methods.
I think teachers should have a different approach ...let the kids move more
My child only stays still when she's only watching cartoons.. After watching here we go again.. She started to climb anywhere in the house, jumping running all the time.. !! And she's not stopping.
Risk of accident and even mortality is twice as high in people with ADHD. If you think she is at risk, get her evaluated. I had so many accidents doing dangerous things before I was diagnosed and treated (way too late- at 16)
I thought this was going to teach me something new.
That child is sitting quietly on that patient bed. There's no way he's ADHD. Drs offices and ADHD are a parents nightmare
I get angry and distracted easily
Kodak Grinds that may be an eye problem?
Kodak Grinds maybe you should go tell an eye doctor?
That’s how my son started ( everyone said it was normal ) and it gets worse as
A teenager .
He doesn't stay still !!!! hhhhhh sure he is a kid dont give him meds
I agree, there should be a lot more tests than just taking the mothers word for it. The doctor should take him into a room and try to get him to do an assignment with her. She should watch his behavior and focus carefully to make sure that he actually has ADHD and is not just a hyper 6 year old boy.
Grateful thats right..stupid ..impudent mega pumpkin brains
He is an actor genius
It's affecting him not being able to do 15 15 pages of homework in one sitting .... So something wrong with him..... U CAN'T BE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW ITS A CHILD NOT A ROBOT
The kid is sitting perfectly still on the video
so having a imagination is now a problem??? or not being a robot?? 👏👏👏👏 great job society, you love to label but don't blame the shitty food industry.....
I totally agree with you! I do personally think alot of problems are do to the chemicals we ingest and inhale day to day!
Where is imagination stated as a problem? Do you just go around to videos posting useless, factless, and ignorant information? Lol.
It's a chemical imbalance in your brain...
Ok boomer
????It’s a lot more than that. There’s a ton of issues that build up that totally set you back while ur trying to build success (overconfidence, terrible work ethic, lack of mental filter, inability to properly assess day to day situations, constant daydreaming, etc)
This is called childhood! For goodness sake, let kids be kids.
Please research more into giving your child ADHD medications before actually using them, i tried different ADHD medication when i was young and it completely abolished any ability to have a proper social life or understand who i was in any way whatsoever besides what benefited my academic life, i personally cannot recommend any ADHD medication whatsoever.. not meaning you still shouldn’t research them.
I was once a loose dog as well. It was a great childhood. Could of been easier for sure but...pretty fun.
my mom took me off my ADHD medicine because it made me drowsy and I had constant head aches and I would lay in bed all day and also if children take it to long you get twitches.
Darkness Or Theres Nothing same as me, I had low energy like I didn’t wanna move or go anywhere.
Very interesting can you suggest a video of a child roughly in first grade behaving with ADHD ? At home or in school
The answer for everything, give them meds. I had and still have Add. I never took meds. It wasn't until I was a junior in high school that I actually started to like school. I found Ginko Biloba and started taking it. I had focus and got good grades. I stopped taking it for a while then took it again in college. I got straight As in math. I was a c student in math. But with a natural supplement and not narcotics I controlled and still control my ADD
Thanks for your comment, everyone is different, and needs to be seen by their pediatrician/physician for appropriate individual treatment. This video is for informational purposes only, not diagnoses.
If you replay the video they also mention academic support and counseling.
i’m 15 and i think i might have it but not completely sure. it’s so hard to start projects and i have zero focus or motivation, i can be doing a homework and something will come to mind and i need to talk about it or do it while i still think about it so it distracts me from my work. once i start a project and get into it i can continue going for hours. i always dissociate and fidget too. i have bursts of energy and then periods of absolute exhaustion
15 PAGES IN 1ST GRADE.
+Lerium Galaxies that's what i thought xD holly hell 15 pages
That's why this kid may have issues!!
What the mom describes just sounds like a typical boy! But in today's society, lefties and feminists try to tell us masculinity is toxic.
elephant manure!
it crazy but ya
so i am from a third world country and i came to knew about ADHD yesterday when pediatrician said my 3 year old could have it,as she constantly touches things doesnt stay still and talks too much with everybody. He asked me if i have ADHD and i said i dont even know what it is,he asked me a couple of questions and said its possible i have it too. i am really hooeful for my child.
stop ruining your kids with medicines
medication is not the only solution!
DCL electric i have adhd and a few corrosponding disorder. i hated my meds they made me more agressive or anti social which made me more depressed and angry. my parter on the other hand was the opposite.. his meds made a great difference for him. for me the only thing with worked (and if you dont agree plz dont be rude.. im only sharing my experience) but for me it was smoking weed.. our 3 year old son is showing signs of adhd and other corrosponing disorders and iv been looking into cbd oil as a alternative to pharmaceutical amphetamines! i know how they helped me and it was the only thing that helped my symptoms aswell as overall feeling. adhd is just as bad on the child as it is on the people around them. any others parents looking to cbd as an alternative?
Try to put your son on a gluten free diet, I promise it will work. Try it for 3 weeks and you will see a huge improvement, it worked for me when I was younger. Try to avoid foods with wheat, flour, malt, barley and soy sauce.
My son is gluten and dairy intolerant. So hes actually already on a celiac diet (for the most part).
oh ok, that's good
My cousin is SO annoying but has ADHD. He lies a lot, he won’t listen to you, he won’t sit down, I thought he wasn’t getting enough discipline. I think that’s the problem though. He messes with people at school, and this one time, his teacher walked him home. That’s how bad he is.
don't these symptoms fit every single child?! all children hate sitting still, they wanna run around and play n shit!
vincent bertin finally!!!
vincent bertin No idiot
Suicidal Homocide your username is trash go make a new one. and don't you realize they're targeting the children? dunce... of course not
vincent bertin Do you even know how I got this username? I Can't change it in ninety days trust me I've tried many times
Suicidal Homocide from being in and out of multiple mental hospitals because you want to harm yourself and others?
99% of people who watched this video and made a comment are still 99% clueless about ADHD.
Medicines are not the way. Do not use them.
Paula Garcia You don't know that it actually helped me in SO MANY WAYS pills just aren't for everyone
Yes my son is now 31, went to college and did 2 yrs grad school in 1 yrs. Has a good job, lives on his own and doing very well. Proud Momma here!
Started on Ritalin in Kindergarten. Such a difference to help him focus and have a good brake pedal on his behavior. Took it all through college and in Grad school for test. He currently has decided not to take meds and using other methods to help him get things done. Could use a maid but that’s a whole another story. 😘
Paula Garcia what is the way then?
Your kid is NORMAL and even if he's not he's 6 years old and deserves a chance. He's not working, doesn't have respondibilities why is it sooo important to sit still while doing homework. Take a break. Don't drug your kid. Please
The kid only gets 15 pages of homework??
What a slacker!
I think it's sarcasm
You are correct Ethan. 15 pages of homework for a grade 1 student seems a little excessive to me.
Cryptopolis yea i thought so haha
Cryptopolis In Major Canadian cities, like where I live in BC, The kids in k-3 grades aren't allowed to get no more than 15 minutes of daily schoolwork plus nightly reading. They did a study about too much work on young kids is stress full and the only test is spelling.
Hi BellRain, yes I agree that 15 pages is waaaay too much homework for a grade 1 student. I was being facetious in order to draw attention to the issue. Personally I think that 15-20 minutes of homework per week is plenty for a 6-7 year old kid. Thanks for your reply & have a great day.
I got diagnosed in my mid 30s and I found school absolute hell, my teachers thought I was being naughty to get attention, but in reality I found their teaching techniques mind numbingly boring and I was convinced I was a below average, slow learner...
