Ironically, I can't seem to focus on this.
I have ADHD and yes, the poor sound quality was an issue for me too. I do some semi-pro videography as a side line and have filmed this kind of thing for others. The idea is sound and in this case the lecture was very informative - for me (in my primary role) as a clinician in the field it is good to have the chance to virtually attend a seminar like this. A little more investment in kit and technical proficiency will make these a valuable resource.
This man is my hero. After 32 years of living in chaos, he has made me normal. He says I'm one of the few adults who hasn't been I prison he's treated and may ask me to speak to junior psychiatrists about not all ADHD people being violent. I the switch from highly intelligent and articulate type to boarder line special needs.
But always worked, mortgage on a house in London. So proof we can succeed.
Love to David (we're on first name terms you know)

What a fantastic video!
Why can’t all Dr’s be like David?
Maybe they are worried about getting fired for talking sense
TheEloquentEye more than likely!
I think the disinhibition of the Nigrostriatal pathway due to reduced function of the mesocortical system really is true, ive analysed myself and i realise that early in the morning i have all the limbic and basal systems overfunctioning, thus the inattention, hyperactivity and the poor mood.
However over sometime during the day the PFC wakes up and allows itself to inhibit the lower order processing.
I think this is fascinating.
Great lecture, thanks for uploading!
someones phone starts ringing around 17:20 and it totally threw me off :/
You may have ADD.
What background noise??
I also was given the label 'ADHD'. I acknowledge the medical knowledge within this video but I also believe that medication can dumb down 'natural' thoughts and feelings. I felt forced to conform whilst on medication. Unless you have the correct guidance and stimuli around it, I think therapy is better and hands on activities to allow learning in a different way, not a conformed medicated way :)
And I have found the opposite. I'd have killed myself by now without the medication. Whether or not non-pharmacological approaches will be all you need to succeed, depends *very* much on your particular set of strengths and additional disabilities. Some combinations of these are more compatible with keeping your ADHD traits around 24/7 than others are.
My particular combination - I'm not the stereotypical hands-on learner or extrovert, fun and daring person, but a nervous, dyspraxic, mildly autistic nerd who is a failure even at unskilled factory labour and is ONLY any good at academic, intellectual subjects that absolutely require a degree - means that I must crush my ADHD traits out of existence for at least a couple of hours a day, not just "work around them" or even "work with them" as people with certain other combinations of traits and required daily tasks can.
Now I have a degree in a subject I'm good at, and I finally can get paid to do something I'm not terrible at and constantly fear getting sacked from. Just adding this comment for the sake of balance for anyone else who is reading and wondering whether to try the medication. Don't be afraid of trying it. If you don't like the effects or find it's not necessary in the end, you can just stop taking them, but it's worth at least trying. I don't take it when I want to relax, socialise or express myself artistically. I like that for just 4 hour bursts, I can turn off my emotions and just get the essentials tasks of the day done.
