- ADHD is not a farce. It is the result of a deficiency of a specific brain neurotransmitter called norepinephrine. In this video, learn more about how the ADHD brain and nervous system function, and why it’s sometimes so difficult to diagnose and treat symptoms.

I wish this had been known 30 years ago.
My parents just tried to discipline and beat it out of me.
Where I live they wouldn't give meds for it as it is still believed that adults don't have it. I aslo have ASD.
Preach brother!!!!
I had the same problem with adhd I was hyper sensitive and would over react and get angry and anxious and easily. And get smacked or get shouted and humiliated for it .
lmao same here
Sorry that happened to you! In a lot of ways the world is totally medieval. It's funny how society prides itself on being so "advanced" and civilized, when we are still a bunch of apes.
Why the hell don’t more people explain ADHD this way?? Just saying it’s a disorder that makes it hard to focus doesn’t really tell you anything, but explaining physiologically that it’s literally something wrong with the brain makes me feel far more validated than just saying “you have trouble focusing”
People do this with alot of disorders with the brain because our interaction with the disease is usually only the symptoms. Alot of people just don't care enough to learn about the actual difference in biology to a normal person. However when you do take the time it makes perfect sense. For example when we learn things like the reduction of over all brain size in ADHD patients. As well as the reduction in size of the amygdala and frontal cortex we understand why we see things like impulsivity and heightened emotion.

Well, my psychiatrist didn't exactly explain the neuroscience behind my diagnosis, so I'm willing to bet a lot of other people with ADHD don't know this stuff either.
Exactly, for me I first diagnosed myself this way before I knew what adhd was, after 7th-8th grade, I understood that I was different, not just in school but also when I talked to friends, they would always tell me how whatever I was saying made no sense so I just connected the dots on everything about how I act on the neurological level even though I was just a freshman and only used my knowledge of a short bio unit 7th grade. I realized everything that I do is determined on the dopamine that is produced when I do that activity. So I quickly concluded that I either need more dopamine to “satisfy” my brain or I just produced less dopamine than other people and after a quick google search 2 years later turns out I was as accurate as I could have got with what I little I knew.
and it also proves that many people are being over diagnosed right now
All parents with ADHD children should watch this and while we're on the subject so should teachers and nay saying GPs
The problem is most parents of adhd children themselves have undiagnosed ADHD
Teachers dont give a shit ...no support systeme in schools are put in place
yo this track is fire
I'm sorry, but for those of us with ADHD & dyslexia, it's very hard to read subtitles, with music in the background!
Unless we are hyper focusing, most ADHDers with dyslexia have hard time reading anyways. Often we can read a sentence 10 times or more and not have a clue what it said because we were distracted halfway through.
During a video, that means we constantly have to pause it to grasp the idea, which is really to much work for the effort. I'd rather read the transcript.
Just a tip. A simple HUMAN voice over, with subtitles would make this video 1000 times better!
(Edited to clarify)
Daveda Howell lol I was JUST about to comment on the irony of this very informative vid not being very accommodating at all to the people it’s about
I just turned the volume right down.
Mute the video, easy!
Don't try to speak for everyone, ADHD is a very complex spectrum disorder and we still barely understand how it works. Many people will have very different experiences, I prefer music or background stimulation because I focus best with the right amount of stimulation, not enough and I'll just zone out completely. It's one of the reasons people fidget, so that they have enough baseline stimulation to pay attention (but it happens unconsciously).
I'm like which one should I go for, the music? The brain or the texts? Haha although most of the times music do help. So yes it's a big spectrum actually.
okay honestly tho what is the name of this song it slaps
Supine, by Peter Sandberg
The music was a lovely addition to the video and the graphics were helpful. My problem was that the transitions between captions were too quick, so I kept having to pause to read them as I admired everything else.
I’m so sorry for those who couldn’t focus on the video due to the background music. They should listened to the music alone because it’s truly beautiful.
I can see now how that can be distracting if you have ADHD.
Lol my ADHD ass is making fun of the "I can't concentrate on this video" comments only to realize I can't concentrate on it either lmao
Same. I was like these guys are totally exaggerating then I realized I only watched 10 seconds of this video yesterday, got distracted and went to sleep and only finished watching it the next day.
Interesting choice to have a video about ADHD that you have to read. 😊
Lol, was looking for this comment cause same! 😂
10 or 15 seconds in, my brain was like, "Nope, not doing that!"
This video explains the working of the brain simply and effectively with intriguing images and just the right amount of information. It is well-made and professional-looking. Not only did it help me understand my ADHD, it will be a useful tool to help family and friendsd understand that it is a condition of the brain and not a "behaviour:. At the same time, I also found the music annoying and distracting, and had to click on the microphone icon to mute the video. What bothered me even more is the two pop-ups that appear on the "basal ganglia" page (50 secs) and remain to the end of the video, obscuring text and images. Why would you choose to do this when you could have included this info on a separate page after the presentation was over? It is common for a TH-camr to include a small suggestion box at the very top or bottom of the screen on the last page of a video, but they don't block the video and the viewer can click on an "x" to make them go away.
I agree!
Thank you for explaining the cool working of my mind! Neat graphics. I had to slow down video to read text though and re-watch it 4 times.
Wow ... thank you! This is so helpful as I work towards repairing my mental health!
Super interesting video, but why is there no narration in this video, this would make it much more accessible for right-oriented brains
I’d love to see studies done on not only our deficits, but how our brains work around them and how we differ from other people in positive ways as well. I have ADHD and it hinders me, but I also feel sometimes I have a way of thinking that is useful because it’s something others wouldn’t have thought of.
Thanks for the video
This was so hard to pay attention to :(
I really appreciate this video being a little over a minute long. If I’m lucky I might be able to retain 20 seconds of info by watching a couple of times 😂
Too fast? Distracting music? HERE'S HOW TO SLOW THIS VIDEO DOWN to 50% speed so you can better absorb and comprehend it: Takes 5-seconds using TH-cam's built-in PLAYBACK SPEED CONTROL:
•• Move your mouse/cursor onto the video window; this exposes the RED TIMELINE BAR and the icon buttons below it.
•• Click the GEAR icon on the RIGHT SIDE beneath player
(usually the 2nd icon, to the right of the ON/OFF switch )
•• A popup appears with 2 controls: PLAYBACK SPEED and Quality.
•• Click the RIGHT-ARROW, then click "0.5" . This will slow the video down to half its normal speed.
•• Now replay the video, you'll like it this time!
Im not sure if this is someone trying to be helpful or extremely condescending
I didn't see your reply to scrolling after I, too, explained how to change video playback speeds. Not too often that I watch videos set at Normal instead of faster. I did for this video...reading text. Thank you. 👍
I usually set and watch videos at '1.75x' playback speed. This video was easier to follow and read when set at 'normal' playback speed. To change playback speed, click on Settings ( ⚙, upper right of video next to CC, Closed caption). Hope this helps someone.
Thank you for the help 🙏❤️ I will try too slow it down so I can read the text before it's gone. 😅
Dude that last screen hurt me
That music is so calm. If I could put ADHD into music it would be a very aggressive jazz.
Hee hee excellent point, I'd need something with heart beat rhythm ie a drum.
Theoretically, impulsivity could also be affected by the prefrontal cortex as this is the part where we make decisions right? If we are impulsive we must short circuit that part of the brain as we react too fast to a decision 🤔
can i plis get the notes from this vid, i have adhd and im dysleksi, im makeing a presentation about adhd, ok so im trying to say what you're saying In This video but simplified for my classmates.
Daveda is right. The music is unnecessary stimulus and quite distracting for ADHD people. I am on nootropics and hyperfocused right now, but I know that without them I would mute this video and just read the text.
What's the song in this video? It's moving.
List of sources?
The writing goes way too fast for someone with adhd to read.
See the SPEED CONTROLS comment I posted above or below.
The music didn't bother me from reading but the timing
I want to know how to solve this or cure this not to mention what causes this.
I thought everyone was being dramatic about the music, but yeah... It's hard to concentrate and read lol
I think it's hilarious that this is a video about ADHD people and most ADHD people can't comfortably watch it because of the loud music XD
I like to listen to videos while doing other things.... This videos forces me to read the captions which interferes with getting mundane things done.
Had to mute the background noise overwhelming
This was pure torture. Mostly silence, slow moving. Couldn't hold my attention at all 😂
How to fix this problem I want to know I need help!! Govind
So basically, Im screwed in life from the beginning 😢.
*adds this video to Watch Later*
why would you name a part of the brain and then put a picture up of a different part of the brain!?
Please slow it down.
the sad music is not helping
People need to stop making video for/about ADHD with background music please.. It is hard to watch, even harder to read & understand the useful knowledge that you want to share when the music making us feeling overwhelmed. 🥴
This is something I've never been able to comprehend. We all know it's 100x hard ENOUGH for all of us to be gaslit by our health providers, close friends and family - all convinced they know "all about ADHD" when all they know is the Childhood Model- which to the public means "and you take stimulant medicine" and all is fine. So I completely agree, when it comes to publishing materials intended for late diagnosed adults or anyone just now learning how our neurologies work, it is depressing for such a reputable institution like AdditudeMag to not have a clue about signal processing distractions of all kinds. Be they two different streams of people talking, or talking plus music with words, or an animated graphic effect and so on, Just Don't Do It. And do penance for having done so here; know your subject matter domain and audience.
this music is so dramatic lmaooooo
Sometimes childhood trauma creates symptoms that looks similar to adhd.
Childhood trauma rewires the brain which can lead to ADHD , environment as well as genetics can cause chemical imbalances, having both iis a challenge
your videos are all too short. minimum 4-5 and max 8-11mins would be better
The stupid comment section is distracting:))
I hate my brain adhd sucks
Everything stated in this video is at best, conjecture - please stop presenting it like it is factual
