- When you think of someone with ADHD, you probably think of a child-and with good reason.
At least some of the symptoms of ADHD have to emerge before the age of 12 to receive the diagnosis, but ADHD can also affect adults.
If left untreated it can lead to poor school performance, struggles at work, and turmoil in relationships.
Dr. Julie Braciszewski with Monarch Behavioral Health in Bloomfield Hills says roughly 4% of all adults have ADHD, but the symptoms look different than childhood ADHD.
A study published in the JAMA Open Network shows an 123% increase of ADHD in adults from 2007-2016.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
YES very sure of Dr.alishrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, BPD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Mushrooms are very medicinal. This is why anybody familiar with psilocybin and any other kind of fungi will tell you, "They are alive." They have a very ancient wisdom. To my experience, all mushrooms have always said, "Pay attention to your life. How you think, how you feel, and what will you do with the information that you always knew, but now are seeing in this point of view." This is why mushrooms are so respected in tribal cultures. This mental health treatment works for me too. Half micro doses do the trick for me. At least a few days at a time with lengthy time in between. Never addictive. Thank you for sharing this point!
How can I find him? Is he on Instagram
Yes he's Dr.alishrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
Thanks for sharing this great information,
this would help my son.
Some things I noticed about my ADHD:
1) I can complete tasks WAY better if I am SHOWN what to do not told.
2) Learning a new skill/task is tough because it takes me longer, but once I understand it I can master it
3) Reading a book is torture. I can read three pages and not keep track of what is happening. It's like I am reading words, not sentences that progress the story.
4) I tend to interrupt people mid conversation mostly because I get excited to see if I am thinking the same thing.
5) I can lose track of time if I am heavily interested in something and not realize how much time has passed which makes multiple tasks a problem.
6) Tasks that are boring to me is like pulling teeth and I get frustrated and irritable trying to complete a task that I have to do
hi i want to ask, are all people with ADHD hate to read books? just like you, i can only read 2-3 pages, i hate long paragraphs. im not sure if i have ADHD but, i think i do.. oh! and one more question. when you are learning in school for example, history, did u study by reading the book after the lesson or just pay attention to the teacher once in class to understand the whole thing? im more into understanding during the lesson, and if it's a cool story, i can remember it for years. is that ADHD too?
@@littlepotatogirl6895 hating to read books is just being lazy,but if you cant read more then 2-3 pages at any time it might be adhd.
I dont have adhd so i dont know much about it.
It's painful for me. I've fallen to the ground in tears. Stimulation information overload.
You don't have ADHD your normal you don't need medication get over yourself!
@@leigholding1397 sounds like there's not enough safe spaces.. you need a good swift kick in the ass
Imagine having ADHD and your parents thinks you're just stupid...
Getting diagnosed at 27 made my entire life suddenly make sense. ADHD to me has been forgetting my keys 3 times in the span of a few months, losing my ID twice, spacing out and thinking about random thoughts mid conversation, almost getting hit by cars because I was in my thoughts crossing the street, laying down knowing I have a test and just not being capable of doing any work despite knowing the test is easy and I'll ace it if I just get to work.
It's really hard to explain to people, even I thought I was just lazy and just accepted that this was who I was. My life would've kept going down the drain if I hadn't gotten help. Looking back I can't believe I thought my behavior wasn't a CLEAR AS DAY sign, but nobody ever told me. Had to figure it out for myself, and even that wasn't easy because I bought into the whole "nah, I just need to have discipline and willpower." Which is extremely frustrating because your brain literally does not function that way on a physiological level, it's a losing, and exhausting battle.
what are you doing to cope with it?
Wow I really felt this post. I’m considering to find out for myself. I’ve been having issues starting stuff then stopping and also following directions
I’m like 99% sure I have ADD. I think I’ve always had it. I think I finally am ready to find out if I have it or not.
I agree
I mean, at the end of the day, you could've chosen to willpower your way through things. But you chose not to. Glad you're better though 👍
Listening to this and reading all these comments makes me think I am going to go get tested. Many times, I feel like my motor never stops running, I overthink everything, forget what my boss said 5 minutes ago, forget to turn in documents or answer emails, and battle with procrastination and being organized. I feel like I have more brain fog than ever. I do not like crowds; it's a battle to go to work, go to church, or go to public events. I literally want to cry. As a result of all of this, I have felt hopeless and depressed. By the end of the day, I am so mentally and emotionally exhausted that I just come home and fall asleep. I have always felt a great deal of social anxiety and fear of not knowing what to say to people or how to respond to their questions. My brain is pinging constantly from one thought to the next, so then I am not focusing or able to take in all the person in front of me is saying. I think to the outside world, I am emotionally and mentally unavailable, checked out, so to speak. It's miserable, and I do feel that because of all of this, my marriage, family/friend relationships, work relationships have suffered. I cannot even just enjoy people because my brain is shouting louder than life. I did not even think about ADHD. I remember when I was in First grade, the school psychologist met with me and asked me to complete various tasks. I think my teacher and her could both see something there, but maybe ADHD was not a thing back then. Going to get tested. Hope this is the answer for my "motor" that is always making me overthink every single thing.
I was diagnosed with ADHD while I was in the 4th grade and I’m now 28 years old. I was on medication when I was younger. Apparently to my parents, I didn’t like how the medication made me feel. So they made a decision to take me off it. Ever since. I noticed my ADHD is a lot for people to deal with. So I have learned to try to be more slow on my conversations. Allows others to speak and listen, staying focused on certain tasks I do and just relax. Very hard indeed but I’m very happy knowing I can handle it on my own the best I can and not let medication or ADHD control my life. Someone told me years ago “I wish I had ADHD.” My response “NO you don’t. It’s real and it’s a bitch to deal with.”
Why would anyone say "I wish I had ADHd"
@@kosskawoodoo7648 cause they think the adhd is what makes us so funny or "cool"
I feel u man 😕
'I wish I had ADHD' I hate that! Neurotypicals think it's just some quirky and funny thing but it's debilitating and holds you back in life.
Yes it IS VERY HARD
ADHD is hell, People think its made up, they just dont know how it feels. Its crazy how these meds changed my life.
Facts it's hell, and when people say "oh I've got it because I can't sit still" or something so dumb it's really annoying to read. It's horrible. Congrats on finding meds which work for you. I'm changing between different meds atm as I had issues before, but hopefully can join the happily medicated squad soon
I’m not sure how to get evaluated- my doctors booked out, so I think I’ll just look online. I struggle at work with remembering things & sometimes even my speech. I know I’m smart, I just can’t organize my thoughts like others..
its fake
Which ones you on
@@Riku-Leela Which meds are you on? Been scared of meds cause unfortunately I’ve seen my sis and little brother go into a psych ward for their medication they were on ( not adhd related but major depressive related. )
ADHD was really overlooked & even was discriminated against.
I remembered back in the 1990s & the early 2000s, there were cases of discriminated bullying on ADHD people. Bullies claimed ADHD are retarded losers of society. But in reality, almost anyone can have ADHD. Therefore for those bullies who claims ADHD are retarded, newsflash: we live in earth, where there's NO such thing as "normal" & mistakes/errors are INEVITABLE. Therefore don't be a bully & have awareness in how to PROPERLY interact with any people around you (especially how to PROPERLY interact with ADHD folks without generating social conflict)
cuz its fake
@@nunyabiz1780 have you taken a neuro science class? if not, no one cares about your opinion.
@@nunyabiz1780you gotta prove that
You're a moron congrats 🎉🎉
I got diagnosed at 27 and got on medication and it completely changed my life. I never realized how forgetful and distracted I was, I was lucky if I knew what day it was and where my car was parked. It was exhausting hahah
wait i’m supposed to be able to remember those things?
What meds are you on?
@@jm8585 They went the old school route and gave me Ritalin, and it works flawless for me.
How did you get diagnosed?
@@codycorey2593 do they make the body age faster also do they help with migraine symptoms
My adhd is
Losing everything so easily
Struggle getting to sleep
Cant control emotions and anger
Cant finish tasks
I am being tested by psychologist of late.I have exact same gig ..
I built a home gym about 90% and left it since, been a year or two. ADHD is daunting.
Seems like u had a troubled childhood, not have adhd unfortunately
Same + super lazy and can't sit and study i have to stand up and start walking and creating fake scenarios inside my head😢
Im 35, i have this bad, and it's crippling. I can't express how bad it is. Imagine someone telling a person with no legs to run a mile, then being denigrated, ridiculed, and called lazy because you can't. It's awful. Then, there is a lack of help, I've been waiting a year and nothing, and even if you literally beg, it's still nothing. It makes you convinced you are trash, worthless, etc. I've been told im extremely gifted, but the adhd takes it away from me. It's stolen my life.
My friends who have gotten treatment say it really helps. I hope you can get treatment too.
@@swissarmyknight4306 May I know what treatment they got? Did they take pills? If yes, what pills?.
Thank you. I am also suffering from this issue and everything Paul wrote is the same with me as well. I am 40 and called an under-achiver cause I find it difficult to learn new skills. :(
Never think you are worthless my ex had that he killed himself he never saw how lucky was do be the dad of my baby and he was loved
This problem and drugs took his life
Same. I’ve been on meds tho for a year. First addy, and finally got my doctor to give me Vyvanse. Vyvanse helped way more.
But alas, I am now finding out that I may have narcolepsy too. 🤦🏽♂️
Doctor ordered a sleep study.
Have you ever driven a 1/4 up the access road into the freeway…the wrong way?? Lol. That’s how bad mine is. 😬
i didn't even know ADHD was a thing, i thought i just don't know how to focus
It's not that there are more people getting it, it's just that people are finally getting their diagnosis and the fact that ADHD is also publically spoken abouy more in terms of it being a mental illness rather than being "oh it's just people being annoying", though it's still not accurately spoken about, at least it's a step in the right direction.
I live in the UK and luckily in recent years mental health support has gotten so much better and is genuinely a good system which I know from experience with ADHD diagnosis as an adult (though with long wait times), I just hope that other countries can follow with a great mental health system and perhaps be even better
go sell drugs in your own country. its fake. its a racket.
For years doctors treated me like i was just a drug addict trying to get high.. had to practically beg the last doctor to help me. Its sad
@@TexasScratchMan great, now you can get high
@M.A.D its fake bruh. why does Leela from the Uk want to comment on a local detroit news programming segment.
@@nunyabiz1780 it’s TH-cam moron. All someone has to search is adhd information and this comes up. That’s the two words I typed. Bruh.
I'm confused whether i have adhd or not -
Few things i noticed about myself
1) can't focus even for 5 min or need music or little bit of noise in background to focus or scribble on paper or figet something like pen etc.
2) sometimes can't sleep because of overthinking or weird voices in head , listen to music to fall asleep
3) recently I'm too much bother by sounds, even a sounnd of someone walking with miminal sound bother me too much.
4) feel excited or very low randomly without any reasons and also frustrated with minor problems
5) can't listen to people without interpreting get too excited to tell my opinions in between
6) I'm very motivated person but still suffer to do anything, i have the motivation and will but jjust can't do it
7) I'm bored of every single thing, nothing excites me anymore and also have habit of picking my skin and touching my face or nose
8) i have lots of ideas but when i try to write them i came blank
9) I also face impulsive behaviour
These are indeed main symptoms of adhd
If adhd does have this much of an affect on your life then you should gets diagnosed.
This would allow you to be prescribed adderall or some other drug to keep you focused.
I hope this helps
Exactly super motivated but can't because of my super laziness😢
It's not on the rise. It's being diagnosed. Many "depressed, bipolars, socially anxious", etc. Have actually adhd.
Exactly, it’s always been a thing there is just more awareness now.
So people with adhd have anxiety and other stuff like that
both is true. because of how unnatural our society is and how kids learn way less self responsibility its on the rise
@@guerovillalbaso2523 absolutely.
@@mantralibre1367 forreals bro ?
Adhd isn't "on the rise" in adults. They've always had the symptoms but they were ignored because of the norm became that adhd didn't exist. I lived through this. My father and mother both thought adhd wasn't real and now o suffer for it.
People can not "always have the symptoms"
ADHD, anxiety and depression are all FAKE, pharmaceutical companies and the government created mental illness to sell drugs and control the population
@@swolfe9668 they somehow how think that the inverse of what they say isn’t possible that “awareness “ has led to more false diagnoses and made up mental illness
I’m turning 50, but in my 20’s & 30’s said I had anxiety disorder, I wish I had gotten correctly been diagnosed, now I feel horrible guilt about always being rushy, stressed, snippy and not being the mom I could’ve been & wanted to be
Now that I've been diagnosed with ADD at 38, it F*CKING pains and saddens me deeply how much shit both I and my parents went through all that years!! My parents who I love dearly and always were by my side to help me, even if they sometimes didn't know how to but still tried just because they only wanted the best for me!
The Bachelor Degree was wrecking me but somehow I made it barely, next I couldn't hold a job for long, ended up at home twice with serious stress complaints (burnout), overall mental fatigueness, irritability, and also no succes in my love life.
Going from psychologist to psychologist over the years and never with steady long term results until one day a new psychologist assumed that I could possible have ADHD in me so I got myself tested for it. And here we are.
I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope the upcoming treatment will better my life or else I'm not really confident for the future to be honest.......
All the best...same here as well... atleast treatment is available in your country here in India people don't even know what ADHD is...and forget about doctors...very less in numbers
Update?
@@noname29288 I've tried Concerta 27mg but it upset my bowels so I stopped with that medicine for a while. Maybe Ritalin in a couple of months
Update 10 months later?
Wish I was diagnosed earlier! I had to repeat the 4th grade, 6th grade, 7th grade and expelled indefinitely before making it to 8th grade. They kept sending me to schools with real criminals and that introduced me to gangs and drugs after being kicked out of school. I went my entire 20s from job to job. At least 50 jobs or more by 29 years old. I also cut off my loving marriage because she was starting to misunderstand me like everyone in my life did before they gave up on me or did me wrong. Then I had a kid on the way and I freaked out. I finally went to a doctor and was diagnosed. In just a few years, I've been able to earn my GED, college degree and have a career that I love. I'm a very active and involved father in the PTA. It's getting worse as the responsibilities and age increase but I constantly remind myself where I come from and that helps a bit.
Same thing with the jobs and after I was diagnosed I abandoned alot of people that never undersood me or told me there was nothing wrong with me even when I told them I feel like I'm going t hurt someone and that I may have autism or something because I was 30 and having adhd doesn't mean you're stupid... I knew there was something there.
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression , anxiety and illicit pill addiction . Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone . Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues . ⠀
there's no way to thoroughly translate these experiences via human language. it's too hard to explain 😢

Tripping is not really bad but find a good mycologist Who will teach you the right things you need to know
I have ADHD. When I was in law school, I used to record all the classes because often only my body was in class, but my thoughts were elsewhere, meaning I had a lot of energy, not to mention the anxiety, which makes this comorbidity even more challenging for ADHD. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 28. Until then, I wasted a lot of time with so much energy I have. Since I was diagnosed, I sought out a specialist psychologist and also a specialist doctor in ADHD (but the race was tough to find these professionals qualified in ADHD), it was the best investment for my life. After starting treatment, I started getting the best grades in college, learned to speak 2 other languages, today I can produce much more. But the struggle is constant. It is very worthwhile to seek treatment. I have the energy of a child, this is not normal, however, my doctors help me distribute all this energy so that I can produce and not procrastinate, however, the comorbidity of ADHD which also has anxiety makes everything more difficult for ADHD. Almost no one talks about people who have ADHD with comorbidity. Hugs from Brazil.
Oh my god, when I read that second sentence, I thought I could be the one typing this comment out haha. I never thought ADHD was the reason causing this. Good luck on your journey, sir.
@@katlablessed What I did to make my life better and more productive was crucial: I was wasting a lot of time in life, spending the day procrastinating, not sleeping early, and not practicing sports. I knew I had ADHD, but I wasn't doing anything to improve. So, I sought out a psychologist. However, it wasn't great at first; actually, I was looking for the wrong type of professional. Then I found a psychiatrist, and he recommended a psychologist who works with cognitive-behavioral therapy. Yes, it can't be just any psychologist; at least the others didn't work for me. Sometimes it works for you. I found out I had the worst diagnosis of ADHD, meaning ADHD with comorbidities, which means I had ADHD and anxiety disorder. This is very important because it could be that a person only has an anxiety disorder, which also causes a lot of bad things. So, my doctor prescribed only 10mg of Ritalin once a day in the morning, and my psychologist used cognitive-behavioral methods. Slowly, she removed some unhealthy habits, such as irregular sleep schedules, lack of daily physical exercise, and excessive use of social media. Additionally, I silenced my WhatsApp.
I started practicing physical exercises every day; initially, 20 minutes of walking, but now I exercise for 45 minutes a day, every day. I don't consume alcoholic beverages, sleep a minimum of 7 hours a day, and continue to use only 10mg of Ritalin after breakfast. I don't drink coffee, soda, or alcohol. In fact, you need to want to change. It's not enough to go to the doctor and not use the medications he prescribes, nor is it enough to go to the psychologist and not follow their advice.
Don't use medications without consulting your doctor. Here in Brazil, you can only buy Ritalin with a prescription. Find the psychologist that's best for you. If you don't like the first one, find another. I don't know how it is in the United States; here in Brazil, there are private and public psychologists. In my case, my health plan covers the doctor and four sessions per month with the psychologist. I see my psychologist every week; the doctor every three months.
My life changed. I believe you need both professionals: the doctor and the psychologist. My psychologist changed all my habits. I believe that in America, you have to pay for medical treatments, right? If you can't afford a doctor or psychologist, I'll give you some advice: avoid coffee or any product containing caffeine, thermogenics, alcoholic beverages, and fatty foods. Drink plenty of water and exercise daily (consult your doctor before starting any exercise). Don't use Ritalin without consulting your doctor; don't use medication on your own. The doctor studied for this; only he can tell you what's good for you.
The result of all this was that I finished law school, passed a very difficult exam, and became a lawyer, with a postgraduate degree. I learned to speak two other languages and have a good job. I am a happy person. Having ADHD is not a problem; it's not the end of the world. You can be whatever you want, even with ADHD. People see ADHD as if it were the end of the world. Don't waste your time. You can and are capable of being everything in this life. Today, there are many medications for ADHD, but don't use them without consulting your doctor.
if you cannot see a doctor or psychologist, I, in your country, will tell you what you can do to improve: do not smoke, do not drink alcoholic beverages, never drink coffee, do not use thermogenics or anything else that makes you agitated, drink plenty of water, sleep for at least 8 hours a day (nighttime sleep is more important), engage in physical exercise for 40 minutes a day, even if it's just a walk. ATTENTION: Before exercising, consult a doctor to see if you can exercise; start your physical exercises slowly. Never give up on your dreams; you can be anything you want to be. Today, I am 55 years old and am learning my third language. Next year, I will fulfill an old dream: I will go to university to start my Medicine course. You know what's great about us with ADHD? We have a lot of energy. Count on me; keep going. I hope I've helped you and anyone reading this message. Big hug from Brazil
Did you complete your law school. How do you managed your law profession with ADHD. I am curious because I am a person who is in this profession and struggling.
@@hannaelsajacob9430 Hello,Yes, I finished law school and passed the exam to have the right to practice law. Here in Brazil, when you study law, to become a lawyer, you need to pass two very difficult exams. I passed on the first attempt, right after finishing law school, which in Brazil takes 5 years. I also completed my postgraduate studies, which took 2 years.
I have a psychologist who works with cognitive-behavioral therapy, and she helps me with techniques to avoid procrastination. I also see a psychiatrist because, here in Brazil, to take Ritalin, you need a prescription from a psychiatrist. Additionally, I don't drink coffee. I used to enjoy beer, but I don't drink alcohol anymore either. It’s not easy, but you need to know what you want in life. I chose not to drink alcohol, not to smoke, not to drink coffee, not to use thermogenics, and not to use anything that could make me more anxious. My doctor prescribed Ritalin for me to take only twice a day before 2 PM.
I also practice sports 5 times a week to burn off energy. As I mentioned, I have the energy of a child, and I believe every ADHD person does. Find a psychologist who works with cognitive-behavioral therapy and see a doctor to prescribe the right medication for you. Regarding spending too much time on the phone and the internet procrastinating, my psychologist taught me some tricks, such as keeping the phone (WhatsApp) on silent and away from the desk. I check my phone only once an hour.
I hope you don’t give up on your dream. It is possible to live a normal life with ADHD because, after all, we are quite intelligent.
Greetings from Brazil!
I had to go see a neurologist and psychologist for other reasons, ADHD was furthest from my mind. At the time my insurance covered psychologist. When I went to the psychologist he put me through many professional testing. The results were I had severe ADHD. ( not my words, documented it says severe ADHD) this was back 2018. He had me come in on a weekly basis. It changed my life for the better.
I was thriving productive and happier I ever thought I can be. Last year my husband if the 25 years was laid off from his job. Therefore we lost his insurance. Thankfully he found another job but with insurances that does not include psychologist. So for five years I was getting therapy and I was on medication. That suddenly stopped. Because I could not afford $270 for appointment. Even if it was once a month. Try to find alternative ways. Like finding a therapist that would work along with my doctor. The problem I ran into no family physician even with all the records I provided for them, with officially being diagnosed after the proper tests were performed psychologist.
Plus therapy for 5 years. My family physician would not even look at the records. Even with the therapist stating yes she does need her medication she does have ADHD. He flippantly said I don't deal with that, no, don't ask again.
I spiraled into a deep depression. Because before it asking my doctor, I did try for 7 months to go without therapy and medication.
I felt like I took ten steps back I felt out of control and my life was in shambles again. Now I won't even barely leave my house.
I am not able to work. Trying to find a new physician they told me because I'm a new patient they will not deal with medication that has to do with ADHD.
So because I don't have money I am left untreated, & suffering for it.
It's a catch-22 for me to have enough money to go see a psychiatrist I need a job but because I can't get treated for my ADHD I can't work so I can't afford a psychiatrist.
No one talks about this. No one talks about how hard it is to get treated for ADHD. Doctors will not even educate themselves on it. The Discrimination I get is unbearable. I would never tell anyone that I have it.
Media makes it seem so easy to get help all you have to do is ask for it. Yes you can ask for it as long as you have cash in hand.
I've been there before. For about half my life I didn't have health insurance so I'd have to pay out of pocket to get a diagnosis, which of course I couldn't afford. My current job offers benefits, but I'd have to work full time and working as a cashier with ADHD full time is truly harrowing, which is why I've never done it. We need a better healthcare system
This
I’m so sorry you’re going through this very hard and uncontrollable suffering :( my heart feels for you I really do hope and pray you get the help needed asap. It sounds like you said, unbearable, and I can’t even imagine what that must feel like
There's a stigma. I would never tell anyone either. Only those who know and love me.
As I was reading your comment, this made me angry for you and feel sorry for you.. this is really unacceptable, especially for a family physician/primary care doctor that's supposed to be professional and as a person whom believes in professionalism, this is outrageous. Especially you going through it mentally and emotionally. Some healthcare providers won't prescribe medication for ADHD due to some other people that don't need adhd medication and abuse them. But there's alternative medication for ADHD, depending on your health history and what you can take. But the way your doctor spoke to you was unethical and immoral. As a healthcare professional, your supposed to have empathy and compassion for your patients especially as a "family" physician/primary care doctor. I feel for your situation especially as a person with ADHD and a person that's living off of disability funds. It's not easy trust me, I know. I hope all is well now with you and your situation.
As someone who’s struggling with mental health issues I think more people need to talk about it and understand it uno? I hope I’m the future to do just that and advocate for mental health
I just want to personal and behalf of people with adhd, especially severe adhd, thank you for talking about ADULT adhd. Frankly this is a disorder which presents as unlikable behavior: unreliability, disorganization, talking too much, etc. It causes issues with not just social aspect, but functioning in daily life activities. I don't have references, but I gaurantee that research will confirm that people with untreated and severe adhd end up accrue lots of chronic diseases, lead to higher rates of suicide and crime, and are almost always hopeless and disatisfied with a life that is more like a curse.
Edit: I also wanted to mention that people are so quick to say "but ADHD is being overdiagnosed in teenagers because they want adderall." Even so why should we, people with real problems, have to suffer for the illegal activities that these consumers and their doctors are engaging in? Thorough neuropsych eval, followed by psychiatric medication management should be the standard for getting diagnosed. Unfortunately having more restrictions only makes it harder financially to get diagnosed and treated for people who really need it.
But thank you for doing your part in spreading awareness!
the same teachers that diagnose their students lined up for the clot shot bruh. its a fake disease.
@@nunyabiz1780 teachers can't diagnose adhd. Need a clinical psychologist. It is real, you can see it in those who have severe adhd. Please learn more about it, symptoms, and research articles before calling it fake.

You are only disorganize because you are not trying to be organized.
Just got diagnosed with ADHD 35 two weeks ago. I have dyslexia since I was 5 and Dyspraxia. Now I should get help now.
That is interesting because my mother was diagnosed with dyslexia before ADHD was considered an official ailment. It sounds like dyslexia was the go-to diagnosis not too long ago.
Here are my symptoms. I feel like I can focus if the thing doesn’t really require really any mental effort; I basically have brain fog and like zero mental clarity. The big idea tho is that I CANT THINK at all. My mind basically blanks. This also affects my speech. I have trouble communicating to people (it’s like my brain doesn’t know what to say) and this has hurt my relationship with friends and family. I only have rambling thoughts when I’m trying to fall asleep; sometimes my feet are restless.
I’m constantly fiddling with my hands and hair twirling, but you will never see me tapping my fingers or legs so idk if that still falls under “fidgeting”. I will occasionally shift my body while seated so nothing too noticeable. When waiting in line, I’m constantly re directing my gaze so i don’t appear awkward, is this considered being impatient? have a very poor working memory; I constantly misplace things and can’t recall information. For example, I’ll learn information at school and then maybe like 2 weeks later, I will have completely forgotten the material. I won’t be able to recall anything I just learned which is extremely frustrating. This of course affects my decision making. I can’t problem solve.
I do struggle with a little bit of impulsivity. Instant gratification and procrastination. I turned in a essay 1 week overdue because I couldn’t pull myself to even start it. Thinking of words to type and organizing seems so boring and it takes me much longer than everyone else to complete it like everything else. I struggle with instruction unless there is visual aid. It’s like when they’re trying to explain something, idk what the hell they’re talking about and thus, get lost in their words. I try desperately to understand and I’ll act like I’m following along so I don’t appear like I’m not listening. Could this be some form of processing disorder or is it that I just can’t Concentrate??
I want to be social I really do, but there’s this mental block. I avoid things like presenting in class, participation, expressing opinions, etc.
I am going to see my pediatrician so I will let y’all know what happens. ty 🙏
Please do update, I feel like i have such type of symptoms
Same. Any update? I think I’m gonna set up an appointment Trent as well
Yes!! Pls do update us!! I relate to a lot of your symptoms as well, I hope all is going well for you 🙏🏻
Don’t worry my friend there are people out there who are concerned about you and have similar if not the same symptoms.
I'm on the same boat as you actually, and idk if I really have an ADHD or not
Being a man with severe mixed ADHD is extremely difficult to handle. Especially before a diagnosis when you have no idea what the hell is wrong with you. All you know is that you struggle at everything, but are constantly aware that you have the “potential.” It’s different for everyone of course, but assuming you have it, getting diagnosed is the first step to receive some real clarity and direction - possibly for the first time in your life.
I told someone that I think I had ADHD , the symptoms of ADHD is what I'm actually experiencing. I often multitask yet at the end I will nt finish all the activities. I am impatient , and out of focus , I am actually struggling to remember instructions, I often forget important things, I sometimes forgot what I did one hour ago , there was a time when I forgot that I already talk the exam , my boyfriend sometimes told me that i'm too out of focus , inattentive, but I am actually trying. He actually told me that I am not lerning from my mistakes , but I am trying not toake the sme mkstakes again but I can't. I haven't go to the doctor yet😭😭😭
Don't worry, just keep at it, i refuse to believe that vast amounts of human effort amounts to nothing just because your brain says so. I've been struggling with the same problems, sometimes people just refuse to change what they think because it doesnt relate to them, just make sure he understands you
Yes it sounds like ADHD symptoms, just remember a few things. 1. You're gonna wanna try to see a therapist or psychistrist to get an official diagnosis and proper treatment. 2. You must have had some number of symptoms as a child in order to be diagnosed with ADHD 3. They'll want to ensure that these symptoms aren't being caused by some other illness or maybe depression or anxiety, so try to make sure you don't have overlapping diagnoses. If you do, being able to say you had ADHD symptoms as a child before anything else will help them diagnose you faster, otherwise they might contribute your symptoms to something else.

I have adhd and I have a hard time focusing on one thing at a time, have a hard time paying attention, suck at organization. I’m not a one track minded person. I lose things all the time. My mind is just everywhere.
I wish I was “normal” is that what people say in their head I think it sounds crazy to wish to be normal 😂 I praise uniqueness you are who you are love yourself being unique and it works for you the proof is you are alive with us and healthy have a good day!
I am adhd autistic. Way late aware just 3/23. I wouldnt trade my neurodivergent brain, adhd autistic. Has been a plus in life for my self. That said, if course i suffered for decades with adhd working memory and other daily crap, used alot of self humour, but oh fuck yes its all exhausting and detrimental ...## i just corrected my working memory on 4/30/23 in one effing day..no didnt ever use a phone app to help that, no mindful anything..What is the driver for us? DOPAMINE..all i did was add l-tyrosine supplement 1500ng (maintain at 750mg) and upped my quality omega 3 2100 or 2800mgs. Overnight i was fixed, schocked. Myself i use MCT oil coffee creamer form last 2 years best fat i can feed my brain..our brains are fats 1/3rd omega 3 and theres no way i am gonna get enough from diet when fats have been depleted from our foods. Got to have them for aminio acids to work. Also drink just black tea is source of l-theanine needed to relax another amino precursor to tyrosine. I eat organic avoid food dyes like doritoes, skittles etc. I unkowingly was eating foods that create dopamine but no way can i get enough from food, got to supp. the tyrosine and fats. DIET is hugely missing from all the various adhd helpers on platforns and known for years to be the single thing that kicks ass on adhd bads. Wtf ? 🙃😛i actually miss standing in a room wondering why i am there, up the stairs 4 times to remember what i need, never remembering names, writing notes to remenber a sequence for a task, notes for grocer store, jumping un when someone pauses, talking way too much, or not at all, all the saying i am sorry enough to fill the grand canyon .i grieve that guy is no more but love me when i remember a six digit amazon locker code i looked at once an hour earlier. The answer is out there dunno how people find it but uts not hints apps etc its fucking organic .ur brain .
When they say trouble focusing I can focus Very well on one topic or one task. Unfortunately though it makes me forget about everything else and put things aside that I shouldn't
“Had to figure it out for myself.” Literally bought me to tears ; because as a 25 year old , that’s literally what I’m doing with this
Now I think it’s time I get some help and utilize my insurance and resources so thank you much for your comment
As someone with ADHD myself I just want to say it's not to bad it's just how people see it. It's not that we cant do work it's just we cant do anything we dont like or want to do. Like when I copilot takes control to keep us from being depressed
It was really bad for me because I didn't know what it was and people just thought I was naughty I wasn't diagnosed until I was 35 and now I'm glad I had to literally start threatening people for them to look at me because I knew there was something up but everyone would just tell me there's nothing wrong with me so after I got diagnosed I abandoned alot of the friends that didn't listen to me.
Help me to understand. What happens if you can't do a task that someone wants you to do? Do you just refuse? Instead of reminding yourself, yes it's hard but I'm going to give it my best shot? Saying that you can't do a task because you don't want to, is incredibly difficult for me to understand. I do lots of things I don't necessarily want to do.
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 for me atleast for me my body decides it wants to shut down and I can start to aggressively be sick if I try to fight against it.
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 I'm not lazy I'm actually very energetic and would play sports from dusk till dawn but other chore like things can be a real problem for me to keep on top of.
It means that interest in a task stimulates the reward centre of the brain which produces neurotransmitters required for executive functions that are needed to start on or maintain focus on tasks, it means without the boost in neurotransmitters due to interest, challenge, urgency (NOT importance) or novelty your brain is not able to hit the start button to go do a task, it is not a willful refusal it is not someone being terrible or bad, it is they literally cannot direct their attention in that direction if they don’t have enough of the required neurotransmitters to do so, this is partially why encouragement is a much more effective treatment for children with adhd than punishment, encouragement can increase the enjoyment and interest in a task, it can further be complicated by depression, something people with adhd are prone to, and it further reduces those neurotransmitters so when we get depression we get it *bad* and often function worse than our depressed peers, brains are not all wired the same, if you have an issue somewhere that’s causing blindness because there’s something going wrong in your brain, you aren’t choosing not to see you’re not refusing to see and telling yourself “it will be hard but give it your best shot” changes nothing, it is a disability, a lack of ability, no one with adhd is inherently selfish sitting around only choosing interesting things cause they’re stuck up or entitled, they have a literal disability, a neurological difference that causes them to have less control over how they regulate their attention, it makes it difficult to impossible to focus on boring tasks and let me tell you as someone who was undiagnosed as a child, forcing yourself to focus when you can’t is a quick path to depression anxiety burnout etc, the quality of life deteriorated so badly, we get so burned out and exhausted we might enjoy nothing or just have much worse symptoms, burnout can take 2-6 years to heal in the brain, we aren’t going to intentionally do things to give ourselves burnout because other people want us to, it is self harm, there was a study in the 90s that found the experience of boredom while having adhd was comparable to the effects of sleep deprivation torture, please do not ever treat someone with adhd like they are simply refusing to do something or that they are selfish or encourage them to cope in your suggested way because it can do real harm to a lot of people when the very real disability is ignored and the degree to which people with adhd are mistreated because of this perception means that they are likely to get 20,000 more negative comments than their peers by the age of 8, causing a host of other mental health issues, almost everyone with adhd has or has experienced RSD rejection sensitive dysphoria where they have been so relentlessly rejected and criticized their whole lives that they become so sensitive to it they have a dysphoric reaction to perceived or actual criticism or rejection, I had to grow out of the RSD I had and it only happened after my diagnosis, I hope that awareness and reduction of stigma can change this, I have seen a lot more acceptance since I was a kid, more understanding, but the stigma is still pervasive and adhd itself should not cause the level of other mental illness that it does, the rates of depression anxiety RSD and many others are way too high in people with adhd due to mistreatment from society and often it is worst when they aren’t yet diagnosed and don’t understand
This did give me a sound mind in taking that step to go to therapy and actually dedicate my time towards getting at the root of why life has felt like a constant crash then recovery followed by a another crash and recovery. A loose pattern, but a pattern nonetheless that could be broken or maintained. Thank you
You think the crashing and recovery was caused by ADHD?
I felt that pattern in my life too to the point the crashing was just too unbearable and sought out help and was diagnosed w severe depression and anxiety, and was given medication right away all of this just last week too. Now tho I’m starting to question whether the cause of my depression and anxiety is because of having untreated/undiagnosed ADHD, next step for me is to get an assessment for that. It’s great that you’re wanting to seek that help for yourself too! I think figuring out the root of what it is we’re going through is so crucial to finding proper treatment. And to simply know the answers to our whys. I wish you the best on your journey of discovery/healing 🙏🏻
Modern life stressors are triggering adhd
Not on the rise. Just overdue diagnosis
I could be having a great day then suddenly i panic if i cant find something im looking for..if i cant find it it can ruin my whole day..im 29
I am 44, and was diagnosed at the age of 42. I didn't know anyone with ADHD or even autism when I was a kid in the 80's and 90's. It was there, they were just written off as other things... hyper, lazy, weird, slow, special ed kids, the R word, scatter-brained, bored, troubled, defiant, etc... My Pap-pap was Pennsylvania Dutch (German,) and would say, "She's real book-smart, but she's doppik!" Meaning that I was intelligent but had no common sense. Well, shit, I had ADD/ADHD and no kind of diagnosis or treatment for 36 years... lol. How different could my life have been??? I was in the gifted program from 1st to 12th grade, but was failing algebra, not getting my homework done on time for any class, and way too distracted to pay attention and get good grades. I didn't know how to "apply myself." We didn't have the knowledge and resources back then. My last straw was my failing memory at work and never getting out on time because I was still charting (nursing,) long after my shift ended due to talking too much, or getting lost in my own head when I did try to focus.
Talked to my doctor, she referred me to neuropsych, took a 5 hour evaluation, discovered that I have ADHD (inattentive,) generalized anxiety, depression, and even PTSD. Got hooked up with my amazing psychiatrist, went through CBT, got sober, started meds and continued therapy, and it has been a life saver!
It finally has a reason and a name... and it was not my fault. 💚
In school back in the 1950s and 60s hyper kids were never teacher favorites and they made that obvious. Reports to parents always read "needs to pay attention". I was paying attention to the many interesting things around me like creating perspective views of residential buildings under my desktop. I hated to read except for nonfiction articles. The month of December was always challenging because I would literally bounce up and down most of the time in anticipation of Christmas. Of the hyper kids in my grammar school classes, most became business owners. Interesting.
I remember when my biology teacher told my mother that I might have adhd, we as niggas took that as offensive and disputed that instead of going to get me tested, now I’m turning 35 and I know I got this shit 🤦♂️
i got diagnosed at 34, i am on medication and it has changed everything including my uncontrollable anxiety,and to
boot my stammer has improved as a result!! thank you DR mosley for taking the time to listen to me!
The moment you stop medication your mind starts racing again.
I told my doctor that I though I had ADHD. She told me you lived this long with it. Just more or less deal with it. I swear I’m getting worst with time. Time to find another doctor.
Yes, def find a different dr, *yikes*! That person is phoning it in. Also, check out youtube channel How To ADHD. I found it helpful when I realised I have it. It also helped me feel more sure of my having it, she just explained it so well felt seen for the first time.
Get a doctor to prescribe you ritalin. A real one i mean, since reading a health professional say what he told you is at minimum worth losing his licence. Deal woth this fact. 80 to 90% o psychiatrists don't know either what they are treating OR/AND how to treat it. Get your meds. You'll understand why people live the way they do. One is not supposed to "deal" with life through projection, sublimation and suffering. Best wishes dear.
I was diagnosed when I was 14 and was put on numerous meds that made me have no expressions whatsoever.
By the time I was 22 I did not want to take meds no more for ADHD and just learn how to live with it but my relationships have struggled because of my ADHD
yup... thats why i smoke weed and it helps a lot with all my mental illnesses.
@@StephanieLinda_ weed is bad for people with adhd
I really don't think that the meds that allow us to manage ADHD day to day have much of an affect, or maybe not a positive one on managing relationships. Like, I can take a vyvanse and knock out 6 hours of work without a break but how does that help my girlfriend not feel neglected that I just did 4 days of work in 6 hours and completely ignored her texts? And then the stims mess with your sexual relationships so that goes down the drain. I never take stims when I'm in a serious relationship it's like the one time I know I really need to focus on being attentive to someone. Taking a stim AND being with the girlfriend at the same time is not a good idea.. I used to have to choke down a blunt after work before my gf came over if I took a stim that day. Way too wound up. Stims to me are just how I stay employed..
I’ve never been diagnosed but I definitely know I have it because I have a lot of trouble paying attention and focusing and I cant remember conversations with people after 30 seconds pretty much all the time
Is he in telegram
Soon as someone tells me their name
I forget it😂😂😂
"It's never too late to find out if you have ADHD"... In other words, it's never too late to learn that your weirdness is normal, your brain works differently, and we have superpowers that can be grown that others do not. It is a gift - 100%.
Yes ADHD can be a blessing, but be careful calling children with ADHD "gifted" i was impressed upon as a child that i was gifted and smart, and this only lead to frustration and unrealistic self expectations as a teen. Don't sugercoat the diagnosis, remind newly diagnosed people that it takes work to maintain adhd.
Yep..not aa gift as in Savant style..i am confident if the majority were neurodivergent throughout history humans would be enjoying a much better experience,, its just logic. Myself wouldnt trade my divergency adhd autism for a free penis reduction surgery and year round pass to Disneyland..lol🙃

Even with medication, ADHD can be a pain.
I didn't had any symptoms of ADHD in childhood and adolescence. I was super focused then. Now I have all the symptoms of ADHD. What could possibly be the reason

Hi guys..has anyone ever experienced this symptom that I experienced..what I know is that this is a symptom of ADHD Attention Hyper Deficit Disorder..because it will take me a long time to read 1 book or 1 newspaper because I will read a sentence or a paragraph over and over again until I understood before going to the next page or chapter..what's even worse is that I will imagine every word or manual or diagram I read as if I were doing it..every page or manual or diagram I read I will remember and find it hard to forget even one sentence or word ..to prevent this symptom from getting worse I decided not to read any books, magazines, manuals, diagrams or anything..but I had to read this comment because I want to hear your opinions.. it started 10 years ago and got worse in the last 3 years until now😭😭
I have been diagnosed with adhd , it gets better x
Can anyone comment?
My brother is 61, and has shown signs of this for many years. He is unable to sit still if his life depended on it.
The only additional thing missing in his case not mentioned here is he also shows signs of being a narcissist.
He will blame different life situations/happenings on others. He seems to find it hard to admit he makes mistakes. It's never anything he has done, it's because of something someone else did to him.
When you point out something in his life (that might be a better way of thinking) he is quick to point the finger back at you, without stopping to contemplate what you may be trying to show him.
I don't think he has many friends, because when you think that way and it's combined with maybe other ailments, you chase people away.
He also at times elevates himself with a hint of superiority that can be a turn off.
After an hour (tops), I'm ready to get away from his presence. We don't live in the same state which I'm thinking is a good thing. Had to get this off my chest.
Many thanks.
its fake brh. ADHD is a fake made up disease to sell a product that is like cocaine.
Yes...sounds exactly liked my Son with severe adhd...it's all about him and his feelings...but he still loves and is very emotional. ..he's now a heroin and crack head junkie...
Very helpful man This story you might have changed my life today . It’s sound like me🤦♂️
This is exactly my 29 year old son.. who lives with me...I'm dealing with this every second of my life he was diagnosed at 7 i have my own health problems I'm so exhausted.. I keep telling to go help... He's always defensive when I bring it up I don't know y he needs to listen but he thinks I'm : ( wrong 😢😢
I had no idea how much of a stranglehold ADHD had in my life until i did some research and watched some lectures and it was like someone reading a diary that i never wrote. Like to a WIERD degree. Kinda freaked me out. I cant put into words how stressful it really is. Especially if you live alone. Many people go undiagnosed because they either dont have it that bad, they find a way to cope, or they marry a very organized person that helps them cope. I cant tell you how infuriating it is to be able to explain Einstein's theory of general relativity but I lost 8 of my fucking lighters this month. For the tech folks its like your brain having a high end processor and graphics card with only 100mb of RAM. Its so fucking hard in professional settings because its just viewed as incompetence. It seriously holds people back.
I literally got diagnosed and I am 40 now....Just wished I had been diagnosed back in school! It has been so hard completing anything. I have artistic projects that are unfinished from 20 years ago!
Ive had it my whole life . SEVERE adhd, causes me to even shake im so hyper all the time.
My parents used to scream at me that I’m stupid and messy and spoiled. I’m 44. Turns out I have adhd. I am nc with my parents.
Sadly that kind of traumatic history is exactly what researchers have found messes up normal dopamine lvls, and increases overly reactive parts of the brain in mri scans that tested it
Being a teacher with ADHD, I just say God bless you! Cause its like a good job for some but doesnt work well for others… in my case it did the workout for me.
This is me. This is pure hell

I literally walk circles in my house all night long sipping coffee with the lights off
@Nate_DeFrancoI beg your pardon
the hardest thing for me about ADHD is your body is tired and you should go to work in 8 AM, but your mind can't rest until dawn.
Replying to you at nearly 3am cause my brain won’t turn off, sigh, it does get better though, I’m just having a bad week, one med I was on I fell asleep before midnight for a year, the year before that I had a Fitbit that tracked my sleep and I fell asleep before midnight maybe twice no matter how hard I tried, it sucks, just gotta find what works tho
Great report. Thanks for getting the word out.
So good to relate to something after all these years. And I’m glad I’ve realised it when I’m still in my early 30’s
My ADHD is so severe, I was not able to complete this video.
I only paid attention for a few seconds
I’m glad I’ve learnt about it at 32 to 33. A weight of my mind to know about it
Ive had adhd sense i was 8 years old ... lol symptoms are the exact same now that im 27 .... it dosnt bother me untill school and work and hanging out with people can get really hard to control and relax with out feeling overwhelmed in one setting . Plus people love my personality when im not medicated , even if i go over board and a little annoying . Being adhd and unmedicated isnt all that bad haha just gotta remember to act mature majority of the time 😅 thats umm a new challenge to deal with as an adult hahaha😅
Wow a marriage with ADHD that is thriving. Don't see this a lot. You do not want ADHD. Good husband to support her all that time before the diagnosis, ADHD is a lot to handle. I love the success stories with ADHD.
You can tell he glossed some descriptions of what ADHD is. He said a lot of correct terms while being off on a whole lot.
Hyperactive and inattentive all have similar issues. The main difference is some is distracted externally and one is distracted internally. Instead of getting up and wandering the room, an inattentive will wander about in their mind.
Also, there isn't an explosion in the cases of adult onset ADHD. These are all people who've had it their whole life and are just now getting diagnosed. What his report left out is that just 20 years ago, diagnosticians would never diagnose an adult simply because they all though only kids had ADHD and they grew out of it. Similar with girls. Many diagnosticians simply wouldn't diagnose a girl because she was a girl. Many used to think it mainly affected boys. A lot of that comes from the fact that boys tend to have the hyperactive form a lot more than girls.
Also, they sure as heck tried to make it sound like something that was curable. It isn't. Ya, there are medications that make ADHD more manageable, but it doesn't cure it. It's not a mental problem or some disorder. It's different way for a brain to work. It's now thought that somewhere in the range of 6% of all people on the planet have ADHD. That's a whole lot of people whose brains work differently than other people's brains.
They make it sound bad, like ADHD people can't be good parents or are failures. Notice his use of the wording more functional when referring to the medication. That's big business speak for better employee. ADHD people may not be good with schedules, tardiness, or remembering a list of tasks. They are great at being creative, thinking outside the box, and troubleshooting. Not a lot of call for that at your local Wendy's or as a news anchor. Guess that's why they like to run stories about poor ADHD people being normalized back into society.
Very interesting 🤔
I'm not one to self diagnose and idk why I think or act the way I do so I'll consult my doctor but I've had such a hard time completing high school as an adult now because of how much I lack focus and start doing tasks that I know aren't as important but I can't help it or I'll get extremely restless and start pacing back and forth. I have a psychiatrist that always wants me to go to our meetings (she treats me for depression) but I refuse to take anymore medication which is all these doctors have in common they just want you to be reliant on stupid pills to feel just OKAY but I refuse!! That's why I stopped my antidepressants and the withdrawals sucked but I hate relying on them!!!😠
As someone who thinks they have ADHD but never been diagnosed, would it be better just to thug it out at this point? Medications worry me a little bit. I’m 27
I have had ADHD all my life and have issues processing spoken information straight away. Its very Frustrating when I been to work and I can’t always listen and process that spoken information.
They gotta sell some more pills
I have adhd it is horrible I can be so irritable and frustrated it's scary. I have become so stuck in life and many opportunities I have missed. Just have to believe dig dip follow god ane don't give up. It may sound a bit crazy but I found cold baths or showers really help. If you are feeling rundown by adhd symptoms run a cold bath or have a cold shower let the cold water enhance you and blast you're favorite music can be a good way to stimulate yourself. Remember we are one and those of you with adhd you are not alone my thoughts are with you.
My son was diagnosed at 8, he is now 36. The meds made him like a zombie so I took him off within the 2nd week and he has been fine ever since. I had to be more involved in helping him and providing him with some extra Marine Corps guidance. As a parent I never liked the fact that every doctor wanted him on some type of meds without any other alternantive.
Lmao the only decent comment and zero likes go figure
Providing structure and extra support definitely helps an ADHD brain, many parents don't care to provide that much support or even get their kids diagnosed. You went above and beyond, so you had a good outcome. Did you recently ask how he is handling his symptoms in his adulthood? Good coping methods and early cognitive behavioral therapy tends to help a lot.
I didn’t realise I was coming across as rude until I experienced someone else with ADHD, they cut me off mid sentence! 😂
😂 well they stopped talking for 2 seconds, what did they expect us to do
100% sure im ADHD.
Which doctor should i go to, to be diagnose?
Im so excited to finally get answer.
you are not 100% certain you have adhd. you are a layman who just saw a bunch of symptoms and confirmation biased yourself into thinking they applied to you, same as people who swear on horroscopes. please for the love of god, stop treating adhd like a quirky trend

Hello Dr. Wolfe here, you do NOT have ADHD. it's a made up disorder by the pharmaceutical companies and the government to drug and control you
In the USA you should be able to go to your regular general doctor and get a referal to somewhere that does evaluation, then you'd want to have a neuropsyc evaluation. ADHD symptoms are mostly exectutive disfunction issues and can be caused my other things, anxiety, depression, autism, for example, so a neuropsych doctor ought to be able to help you sort it out.
Omg....is this what I have?????? I'm losing it ..I feel fucked up for years now. And I had no clue.
I didn’t get diagnosed till 50( and I had to fight for it). TH-cam was more helpful than my primary care provider. GO 🇺🇸 MEDICAL SYSTEM!!!🤦♂️
It only gets better if you're not in denial.
I am 50 years old. Never experienced this before. But I have recently met someone that I feel so comfortable with. I can't stop talking. It's at the point where it's a problem where I'm literally blabbing away and I can tell that I'm probably bothering a person but at the same time, they are so kind. To listen and comment back and understand what I'm actually saying. I have remembered things that I have apparently been keeping locked up inside of me. That had been released just by being able to talk to somebody.
I'm wondering if I have AD HD because it's at the point where I literally can't stop even though I want to. But every time I.
Get with this person I become a chatterbox. If anybody has any advice for me or anybody that may agree that it's a sign of a d h d please let me know.
How in the heck is PTSD a symptom of ADHD?
I am trying to find a doctor in las vegas who will actually consider that I may have ADHD.. A few days ago I had an appointment with the second doctor I have gone to for this and she said "actually that's not a thing! I never diagnose that, you'll have to look elsewhere". The first doctor was a psychiatrist and he spent ten minutes "listening" to me and prescribed me propranolol (for anxiety?) , wellbutrin (which i have tried before but i don't want to be on it because of the side effects, and something called Olanzapine which it says is for schizophrenia and bipolar. I need to find someone in the Las Vegas area who will listen to me. :(
Try online! It is a thing! And it's hard to live life if you are "ADHD" everything suffers, relationships, school, work, money, etc! I did very well in school until I stopped taking Adderall.
if several doctors have told you that you don't have adhd, perhaps you don't have adhd

Dr Wolfe here. You do NOT have ADHD, it is a made up disorder by the pharmaceutical companies and the government to control and drug you
@@aleadiann if they don't take the time to do an evaluation they're not doing their job, i'd just find a different psyc doctor, explain your situation and ask to be refered for a neuropsyc evaluation. If you feel like they're not taking you seriously then ask them to put that in your chart, or move on to a different doctor. There are other things that can look like ADHD so it takes a professional to figure it out but you have to be willing to advocate for yourself and go through the process.
I’m 18 i just realized not that long ago I’ve had adhd since I was little kid
48 yrs long .....loving life now xxx
Well people aren't really getting ADHD more often it's just that 1, we know more about it than we ever have so diagnoses go up. 2, the world we live in is demanding more and more mental focus just to be productive as technology and science continue to advance.
I hope that many people with adult add symptoms will detect abnormalities in their behavior and be diagnosed and treated.
I don't have adhd but I struggle with focus sometimes.
Sometimes is fine, all the time is not. That's ADHD
Not me starting another video before this video even started ending 💀
I diagnosed myself with adhd.. Attention defificit hyperactivity disorder... The only symptoms I have are trouble paying attention or focusing on a task... For example, if I read a book or watch a movie, I have trouble understanding the plot, storyline... Also, I'm bad with direction and maps and socializing with my peers... I also struggled in school throughout my life and always tested lower than my classmates due to trouble focusing... Besides that, I'm great with organizing, cleaning, completing a task... Im also not lazy, not depress because I can keep myself busy... The people who are diagnosed with adhd and claim they can't organize shit or complete something are just lazy ass indoviduals... Ya probably understand the plot of a movie and tested average or above average in school.. Stop making excuses... ADHD stands for attention deficit disorder.. Not laziness..
When your confidence is low you forget girls can find you attractive. And that your just your body
My parter is 61 and not restless. But he is impulsive and has angry outbursts.
Overly sensitive-gets feelings hurt easily. Loses track of time.
Lacks organizational skills. What I want to know is

I’m 60 and just diagnosed with ADHD😢

CAN YOU JUST LET THE INTERVIEWS PLAY OUT!
Are there any kits to help adhd people remember to do things? Memes, organisers, calenders, apps
I believe that individuals with ADHD could benefit from effective visual structures, similar to those provided by digital Desktop Kanbans.
Only because no one ever bothered to check when we were kids and just labeled us as trouble cases or outcasts, or both.
The way this video is edited gave me adhd.
