lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who was annoyed by how often she was cutting him off. my mom does the exact same thing whenever I talk to her and it drives me up the wall.
She reminds me so much of me in my younger years. Fortunately, through meditation and years of working with therapist and coaches I’ve calmed down significantly. It was challenging to watch, I’ll be honest. I get it though…She is hyper focused on her own inner healing and this is why I believe she continually brings it back to herself.
I do exactly what she does. You're excited with a conversation so you interrupt. Especially when you feel they're talking too slow and not getting to the point quick enough. You notice it in others right away but don't notice it with yourself right away.
@@addictiveillusions5667 Just because someone lacks the discipline to hold themselves politely, while in a conversation. Does not make it right to co- sign adult/ child behavior. Core issue work needed here. Sell your brand to someone else.
He is PAUSED and PUNCTUAL. He does very good having a person going too fast, talking too much, interrupting and competing. She seems very cute but sadly needs better treatment.
It’s suuuch a bad habit I am trying to break! I think it’s bc I also fear I’ll forget my thought if I want so I subconsciously blurt it out before thinking and slowing down
Omg. Listening to him is so painful for me. I was internally begging her to interrupt him. I usually speed up videos, but couldn't because to get him on a fast enough speed, I couldn't quite follow her lol.
He talks sooo slow. And pauses so much. It's soo exhausting. I would like it if he engaged with her more while she's talking, instead of just waiting for her to finish so he can continue his lecture.
Dr. Amen, you’re describing my childhood. (Your wife’s childhood) I have ADD. Went to school to age 13. I’m quite intelligent I have to admit and I can’t be modest right now. 🙈 Now I can study. I love to study but on my own. I’m a therapist now, actually a coach. But I help people heal and empower them. Without the broken home and without ADD, I would have gone to university. Now I’m 56. I don’t want university. Because I have created my own succes. I am specialized in personality disorders and trauma. It’s unbelievable how life can happen!
This is incredible information, but how could I pay money to people who can’t see how badly she has ADD? She makes me want to RUN. If she can’t accept or discuss her own ADD without such denial , why would I take a course ON THIS SUBJECT from her. She is Not helping. I’ve left here and gone to website but Oh my lord she’s involved in all of it. They need to take a serious look at what a detriment it might be for many.
I am 65 and when I was a child always had an A first report card second a B or C and third and 4th A D or F…it never got better. Years later became an engineer and had a very successful career but 3 failed marriages. … when I was 40 was diagnosed with Asperger’s. Due to cough syncopy had lots of head trauma. Now at 65 am having more problems with impulse control . Exercise helps but haven’t found anything that helps more. I have all of the ADD symptoms all of my life. Should I try Methelyne Blue?
I am really interested in the content of this video, but her interruptions and tangents make it almost impossible to get through this video 🙄 I would love a video with JUST THE DOCTOR.
it’s like ok, I have so much “good” mental focus, I won’t waste it on the cabinet door because that is a low hanging fruit task that can be done when its more convenient to add it into another task, and save the good juice for handling more difficult tasks, it is like an auto pilot “battery saving” mode that the ADD brain does, without being asked to do so.
The way she interrupts him is so relatable 😂 he’s quite patient too. 13:28 when she stopped talking and started to touch her hair is the moment I’m sure she was somewhere else 😂
And her points are useful and logical. Her lived experience is so valuable and it is so disheartening to read people malign her without trying to understand. This is why we have to mask and hide ourselves and why we come to resent people with these attitudes.
I had to pause the video at 10 minutes to read the comments and validate my distaste for her constant interruptions. I have ADHD and staying focused on Dr. Amen was physically painful.
I did watch through the whole video and I feel it was gold info, thank you so much both for doing this... A little advice on video making, please flatten out your audio waves when you're doing video editing, cuz it startled me every time the lady spoke, the audio came in to fast and too loud.
I like how he is talking to her. Like I talk to my ADHD son;))) Lovingly ignoring all the distractive nonsense and drama that she says and continuing my speech 😂
I understand, as an ADHD person myself, the interruptions etc., but she keeps talking about herself like it’s all about her and her diagnosis. She should be directing her comments to the audience
Thank you very much Dr Amen for sharing your knowledge with Us 🙏 Unfortunately, Her communication skills are terrible! She can’t listen and keeps interrupting your very interesting topic 😟
I have to stimulate myself with chewing/eating/sugar to keep my focus. But I am also too anxious from that type of food, and need to calm myself down. 😤
I wish she was scared of him and she might be quiet for long enough so we hear the wisdom that is clearly here. She is not a great advertisement for skills you can (and need to) learn if you have ADHD. I used to interrupt like she did until I was taught boundaries. Can neither of you see Tana has not had boundaries set on her interrupting behaviour. Maybe if she’s an anxious type she’s playing up for the camera because her ‘scariness’ is her way of coping.
Crazy the amount of people slamming Tana for interrupting, yet they expect others to ‘accept’ them. Sometimes people with ADHD are the least accepting of others with the same condition. Interrupting is a symptom, have some compassion.
I get frustrated at her cutting his off everytime, but in fact, I do this a lot 😂. So do I have to find a man that had this level of patience as him? 😂
No, “all of us” do not have “ADHD moments” and a heads-up, most neurodiverse people I know find that type of comment off-putting as it is trivializing. That would be like saying, “Oh, I have MS moments” referring to tripping on something. Please don’t use disabilities as a means to describe non-disabled people’s non-disabling traits. He clarified that, but I want you to know from the neurodiverse community’s common take on those comments, me included.
Thank you, thank you! I realized mine with our sons diagnosis, exactly as you said. I hate interrupting people and being late. I’m 61 and still fight it. I don’t like drugs and they don’t agree with me but now I see why my body live rhodiola, ginseng and L-tyrosine. I need to get back on them ASAP. I’ve learned lots of great coping skills, I’m a much better listener but I still need improvement. It makes me feel better to think that I’m not just a rude person but having impulse control which makes me sad. But this isn’t hopelessness on my part at all. I was married to an ISTJ (I’m an ENFP) and he taught me SO much about time management and organization. I’m so grateful. Im different in that I despise drama and fighting and perhaps because I’m a middle child as well, but I work for peace. I don’t do the typical “shocking” things, I’m very empathetic and respectful. One thing that really helped me was realizing that I wanted to respect those around me and though I have my own weaknesses, my desire to be a cooperative and functioning member of my “group”… I’m definitely not a classic case and have a complex personality (in a good way) with a little of all of these so it’s been harder to pin down what was amiss but I’ve finally gotten to understand myself better. I take all of the supplements that you mentioned (5HTP,tyrosine,rhodiola,ginseng) and figured out that my body suffers if I don’t have a little (organic/raw) dairy and carbs. I’d so like to get a brain scan but funds are an issue. I’ve been able to function well because of getting kind information from the likes of you and applying it in my life! I wish my son could get a brain scan because I think he’s a mix of the rage one…😒 Thanks again!
I have ADD, and sitting through an hour of anything is difficult. The education he offers is very needed by someone like me. I feel the videos would just be better and shorter for my attention span without Mrs. ADD. Not intended to offend, but my brain needs you to get to the point.
Wow- this knowledge should be made known among teachers, therapists, doctors.... in our country! I wish I knew when I was young (because of my own story!), but thanks God I know now- it feels like a rehabilitation!!! Thanks for your work! I wish I could fly to the US and get my and my son‘s brain scanned🙏
I diagnosed myself when my Psych professor was giving a similar explanation of the 1st type that girls are usually under diagnosed. I raised my hand and told him he was describing me.
I'm a fan of both ❤ I'm surprised to see her interrupting so much. That would drive me crazy. Hard to see because I want to learn from what he is saying. Wow. Sad. 😢😢😢😢😢 my sister does that to me. I've stopped calling often. Can't handle it.
It's so funny and annoying how she keeps interjecting/interrupting him and he even says people with ADD will interrupt you and she smiles and nods LOL God bless him he's very patient with her and gets things back on track. But I did have to keep rewinding often because I kept loosing track of which type ADD they were discussing! Has anyone done the course? $99 I'm on the fence.
9:03 this is why i managed to get my highschool teachers to let me listen to music in class when we had to do work modules. it worked. i only got diagnosed with adhd 6 weeks ago, i'm 41.
You were lucky to have that teacher! The only way I can hope to get anything done, like pay bills, phone calls, organizing papers etc is to put my headphones on and listen to my favorite music...loud! Before i know it I am getting things done then i feel happy!
I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD ADHD AND WAS HOOKED ON DRUGS FOR A LONG TIME. NO ONE UNDERSTOOD ME WHEN I TOLD THEM I FELT NORMAL ON THEM AND IT EXPLAINS HOW I KEPT JOBS AND OTHER THINGS UNDER CONTROL TILL IT GOT OUT OF HAND BECAUSE OF COURSE THATS WHAT DRUGS DO. NOW IM ON A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND UNDER CONTROL
I would love someone to cover how information overload with stress affects brain. It can cause ADD/ADHD like symptoms in people who never had this condition. I know this from my example Boeing engineer/IT person. In the past 3 years because of massive focus on job and training people tell me they don't recognize me. My therapist told me that I have "fried" my brain. My GF said I can't even talk to her where we used to have great communication. I am not present and can't memorize anything where I knew our bank cards, acc numbers, passwords, and much more. When I read top od the page od a book, by the time I am in the middle I already forgot what was the beginning. I gór depression and anxiety and other days I feel indifferent. Can't literally recognize myself in the mirror. Keep asking myself "who am I?". I stopped gym to focus on job and career and my testosterone dropped below minimum ref value. Will be taking off time from work otherwise I will " zero" myself. That's not me at all.
Came to this to get clarity on my own ADD. HOWEVER, clearly she has ADD because 32min in and I’m yet to hear anything new or not related to the couples experiences.
HUGE HUGE respect for both of you for what you do. But, it was very stressful to watch and focus with the interruptions. lol at the same time I get it because I’ve been the same way
Doing the exact same thing everyday is like slow death for me. I HATE tags on my clothing or rugs even! Easily distracted, Impulsive, Spontaneous, Procrastination is probably putting me homeless soon. I have to wait 6 more days to see therapist/psychiatrist. I am TERRIFIED they are just going to put me on anti-depressants!!!!!!!!!!
See to much, hear too much, busy mind, listen to music while studying, sensitivity to light, foods, noise, seams and elasticated wast bands, well meaning but diisorganised, interrupting, interrupting. One of my soothing methods is swimming in the sea daily all year round. Some of these symptoms are also attributed to CPTSD but looking back some of the things I was punished for were symptoms i. e. interrupting (bright ideas, can't wait to share otherwise I'll forget,) fixated on things.
I really appreciate these discussions as ADD runs in our family. You have touted the brain scan as an excellent way to style in the diagnosis. What I want to know is how are you getting these brain scans done there is nothing but resistance in the healthcare industry to paying for this
Dr. (Mrs.) Amen is quite annoying to me! She interrupts and wants to talk about herself...which makes this video invaluable because it makes me know how Not to be ;) Dr. Amen, you have the most wonderful patience, I quality that I wish to have!
EMF…G-5 & G-6 are in all police & fire departments & trucks!!!!!!!! Have seen result of time spent in police Departments affects: Parkinson’s Disease!!!!!!
What's up with the constant interruptions by Tana,,,,, impulse control issue or what? Makes it difficult to stay on track with what the good doctor is saying. 11:32 exactly! LOL.
Our Care Coordinators are available to assist you with resources and appointment information for our clinics: www.amenclinics.com/schedule-visit/. Thank you for reaching out.
I believe my whole family has this because they’re all always picking out what each other does wrong, and we learned from my mother and my father; they both constantly picked out what we were doing wrong, and I being the youngest noticed at all… now I believe one of my sons has it also..
It's true. We'll forget it. Whch would not be an issue, but we will remember it randomly later on and it will drive us crazy that we didn't tell you. So it's easier to just blurt it out right away. Lol
My 9yo son sounds like Jarret 😢 We just drove to the Amen Clinic in Atlanta to have his scans done. To me it looks like he has Over-focused ADD as well as the Ring of Fire. I have OCD myself, and my sons maternal grandpa (my dad) was a drug addict and criminal who died by suicide overdose. Our results appointment isn’t until June 28th because there is only one child psychologist at the Atlanta Amen Clinic location, but we need help NOW! Is there anything I can do to get a jumpstart on my son’s treatment? Any advice is so greatly appreciated Dr. Amen, thank you so much for what you do. So wonderful to finally have some HOPE after all these years
Shit. My birthday is Dec 2. I was ALWAYS the youngest and the only POC in my class. No wonder I was always socially lost. I just got driven to do well in school instead.
When a woman has completed 10 books and has a successful career, didn’t really know she was struggling… where is the disorder part? I think that when someone is trying to do things and can’t overcome the struggle is where the disorder comes in. I’m sympathize with her anxiety, but I think she’s lucky to have the focus she does on her interests.
I have ADD, and this women needs to just stop talking. I'm trying to listen to what he's talking about. And shes being completely inappropriate and annoying.
Zebedee Rotten I disagree. She is proof that someone with adhd and anxiety can live a meaningful and successful life. She is lovely and she puts up with issues he has just as much he puts up with issues she has . She is a gracious woman not spouting everything out about him while he does talk about her issues publicly . She is right about him sometimes saying some off the wall things that aren’t necessary or appropriate. I keep up with a lot of their podcasts and videos. We don’t see half of what they deal with and work though together behind the scenes but the point is- they don’t give up and are still together , and because of that, they are a ministry and an example . Two imperfect people are doing their best to love each other and help others with unique and difficult challenges have better lives and relationships too. Both of them appear try to be as real as possible on camera. That’s a lot . I don’t think Dr. Amen or Tana are unlucky. They are blessed and fortunate . To each his own with hair style preference btw, if you don’t like it , you don’t like it. You know the saying- one mans trash another mans treasure . She is his treasure, not yours. Obviously for very good reasons .
April Adler I see what you are saying and it’s funny because it used to be the other way around. He’d do all talking and she couldn’t get a word in edgewise . They are trying to work on this I can tell . Maybe it will get better .
I so much enjoyed and learned a lot from Dr. Amen, but unfortunately his wife keep interrupting and deviate the point of conversation. That’s so unfortunate, I just felt he is sharing an amazing clinical research results, but unfortunately it was very hard to follow due to her constant interruption and questions and story telling !
Do some ADD brains make the connection between stimulation and anxiety, creating an anxiety disorder that supplies constant stimulation. I am finding that as I tackle my anxiety, my ADD seems to become more prominent, that hyperactive energy / jitteriness.
It’s not just the constant interrupting; it’s the barking/shouting machine-gun communication style. I’m exhausted!
Definitely she has something, she does not let him talk 😮
Yes indeed, God Bless his patience because I couldn’t watch the video. I was yelling at the screen for her to let him talk.
Thank you!
lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who was annoyed by how often she was cutting him off. my mom does the exact same thing whenever I talk to her and it drives me up the wall.
She says "Impulse control! That's not me!" Umm, look again. And she interrupted him to shout that.
When people think of impulses they think about act of doing things impulsively. Not saying things.
I hate people interrupting during a conversation
I love that this is about ADD and she's ADD. Gives the perfect example.
I can relate to most of what they both are describing ADHD
To cut off others while speaking is for sure ADD signature 😂
She reminds me so much of me in my younger years. Fortunately, through meditation and years of working with therapist and coaches I’ve calmed down significantly. It was challenging to watch, I’ll be honest. I get it though…She is hyper focused on her own inner healing and this is why I believe she continually brings it back to herself.
S slow and sorry
God bless his patience with her☺
Yes, I admire his patience.
@Jeffrey Justin he must have bags of valium
@Jeffrey Justin 🤣
She is so cute.
9:20, 11:25
I do exactly what she does. You're excited with a conversation so you interrupt. Especially when you feel they're talking too slow and not getting to the point quick enough. You notice it in others right away but don't notice it with yourself right away.
Soooooo true💕
@@addictiveillusions5667 Just because someone lacks the discipline to hold themselves politely, while in a conversation.

I’ve tried to finish this 18 times
Everyone is talking about her interrupting but she is actively trying to listen and doing her best. It's not something she does intentionally
He talks sooo slow. And pauses so much. It's soo exhausting. I would like it if he engaged with her more while she's talking, instead of just waiting for her to finish so he can continue his lecture.
Shut up she she is doing trash n u r justifying trash
Self esteem is actually the difference of where your believe your potential is and where you are. Wow... just wow.
Excellent show!! Keep up the great work!!!👍❤
Dr. Amen, you’re describing my childhood. (Your wife’s childhood)
I have ADD.
Went to school to age 13.
I’m quite intelligent I have to admit and I can’t be modest right now. 🙈
Now I can study. I love to study but on my own.
I’m a therapist now, actually a coach. But I help people heal and empower them.
Without the broken home and without ADD, I would have gone to university.
Now I’m 56. I don’t want university.
Because I have created my own succes.
I am specialized in personality disorders and trauma.
It’s unbelievable how life can happen!
I’m DESPERATELY trying to listen to the Doctor to try and glean out information, AND SHE WONT SHUT UP.
He is a patient Man
Listen and LEARN
Let's have a problem😂😂😂😂😂
This is incredible information, but how could I pay money to people who can’t see how badly she has ADD? She makes me want to RUN. If she can’t accept or discuss her own ADD without such denial , why would I take a course ON THIS SUBJECT from her. She is Not helping.

Dr amen is a stand up man .... his patience and understanding is almost like its meant to be. hes a very gifted man
So helpful. Thank you!
How to deside if it is ADD or NPD or both? NPD persons brain scan is different from ADD brain?
I haven’t watched the video yet but judging by the comments, Tana is on one
Come on guys, we don’t need to rip on her so much. If you like the man, you don’t need to be so harsh on the woman he loves.
And her points are useful and logical. Her lived experience is so valuable and it is so disheartening to read people malign her without trying to understand. This is why we have to mask and hide ourselves and why we come to resent people with these attitudes.
Yeah why is everyone talking about her. They're having a convo. She reminds me of me lol I have add
I wish the doctor have a chance to finish his statements. So much unsaid
I had to pause the video at 10 minutes to read the comments and validate my distaste for her constant interruptions. I have ADHD and staying focused on Dr. Amen was physically painful.

I did the same thing.
Omg 😳 very annoying, I felt the same way
I felt the same way😩
So good to watch and listen again. Thank you ❤
I like how he is talking to her. Like I talk to my ADHD son;))) Lovingly ignoring all the distractive nonsense and drama that she says and continuing my speech 😂

Yes, it takes ALOT of patience to deal with add. And we don't have it as much or with some people...
Yes it's difficult for them not to interrupt and at the same time it is difficult to hear and concentrate on Dr Amen's teaching
They should be slamming him for talking so.. sslowww. How can your mind not wander off?
We r disable tana is not discipline
God she can’t stop interrupting him to save her life 🫣 very relatable but also drives me crazy trying to listen to him
When you go the double length route to avoid traffic, even though it takes longer.
I get frustrated at her cutting his off everytime, but in fact, I do this a lot 😂. So do I have to find a man that had this level of patience as him? 😂
In my experience YES lol

Actually, ADHD if you look at it rationally, affects almost 210% of the population when you take into account how duplicitous psychiatrists are.

Not sure if she’s anxious add or has a personality disorder. Anyway his knowledge is amazing
I go tomorrow hopefully get the help i so desperately need
Tana, some of us with ADHD DO care. It’s like he said, we don’t see it.
“I don’t want to do it” sounds like RDS
HUGE HUGE respect for both of you for what you do. But, it was very stressful to watch and focus with the interruptions. lol at the same time I get it because I’ve been the same way
She interrups a lot
You two are a sweet, grace giving couple, fun, real, AND the honest interaction helps us learn!🧡💙💚❤💜💜
Doing the exact same thing everyday is like slow death for me. I HATE tags on my clothing or rugs even! Easily distracted, Impulsive, Spontaneous, Procrastination is probably putting me homeless soon. I have to wait 6 more days to see therapist/psychiatrist. I am TERRIFIED they are just going to put me on anti-depressants!!!!!!!!!!
Dr ont take pharma drugs ever
See to much, hear too much, busy mind, listen to music while studying, sensitivity to light, foods, noise, seams and elasticated wast bands, well meaning but diisorganised, interrupting, interrupting. One of my soothing methods is swimming in the sea daily all year round.
Some of these symptoms are also attributed to CPTSD but looking back some of the things I was punished for were symptoms i. e. interrupting (bright ideas, can't wait to share otherwise I'll forget,) fixated on things.
I really appreciate these discussions as ADD runs in our family. You have touted the brain scan as an excellent way to style in the diagnosis. What I want to know is how are you getting these brain scans done there is nothing but resistance in the healthcare industry to paying for this
Dr. (Mrs.) Amen is quite annoying to me! She interrupts and wants to talk about herself...which makes this video invaluable because it makes me know how Not to be ;) Dr. Amen, you have the most wonderful patience, I quality that I wish to have!
EMF…G-5 & G-6 are in all police & fire departments & trucks!!!!!!!!
Have seen result of time spent in police Departments affects: Parkinson’s Disease!!!!!!
me trying to focus really hard on this video
What's up with the constant interruptions by Tana,,,,, impulse control issue or what? Makes it difficult to stay on track with what the good doctor is saying. 11:32 exactly! LOL.
Please stop interrupting him!
Help I've been in bed for 4 days and I thought it was depression but I realize now it's the add
Our Care Coordinators are available to assist you with resources and appointment information for our clinics: www.amenclinics.com/schedule-visit/. Thank you for reaching out.
It's similar to c.p.t.s.d.
That's not me...it's all about me, listen to the dr
I believe my whole family has this because they’re all always picking out what each other does wrong, and we learned from my mother and my father; they both constantly picked out what we were doing wrong, and I being the youngest noticed at all… now I believe one of my sons has it also..
How can I hear more about what Prozac did to your wife? I swear that’s exactly what happened to me and I’ve been struggling ever since.
You two are doing great work!
Wish there were time codes to all the types. I mainly want to learn about Limbic ADD which is what I have.
Here is more information on Limbic ADD: www.amenclinics.com/blog/when-depression-add-intersect-week-5-of-7-limbic-add/
I’m adopting you two as my parents 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She interrupts too much! I want to listen what the Doctor is saying and she keeps interrupting.
Why din't you do bite sized videos short enough to by good for people who have ADD?
I need the list of 7 and time markers. I'll never make it through all this with her babbling and hair arranging. Poor thing
I'm not quite halfway through it and I have to shut it off. I can't take her.
“If I don’t say what I am thinking I am going to forget it” that’s my husband classic ADD
It's true. We'll forget it. Whch would not be an issue, but we will remember it randomly later on and it will drive us crazy that we didn't tell you. So it's easier to just blurt it out right away. Lol
Mine too. If someone asks me to repeat what I said it is generally gone
My 9yo son sounds like Jarret 😢
We just drove to the Amen Clinic in Atlanta to have his scans done. To me it looks like he has Over-focused ADD as well as the Ring of Fire. I have OCD myself, and my sons maternal grandpa (my dad) was a drug addict and criminal who died by suicide overdose.
Our results appointment isn’t until June 28th because there is only one child psychologist at the Atlanta Amen Clinic location, but we need help NOW! Is there anything I can do to get a jumpstart on my son’s treatment? Any advice is so greatly appreciated Dr. Amen, thank you so much for what you do. So wonderful to finally have some HOPE after all these years
Opinions about being on ahdh meds and being angry all the time?
Shit. My birthday is Dec 2. I was ALWAYS the youngest and the only POC in my class. No wonder I was always socially lost. I just got driven to do well in school instead.
This video is going to be required watching for anyone I ever get into relationship with.
When a woman has completed 10 books and has a successful career, didn’t really know she was struggling… where is the disorder part? I think that when someone is trying to do things and can’t overcome the struggle is where the disorder comes in. I’m sympathize with her anxiety, but I think she’s lucky to have the focus she does on her interests.
OMG..she is definitely ADHD...it is so funny that she thinks she doesn't...WOW!!! Embrace it Tana...it's ok
I have ADD, and this women needs to just stop talking. I'm trying to listen to what he's talking about. And shes being completely inappropriate and annoying.
I am at 3:27 mins in and had to stop to see who this woman is. Is this his wife?
Yep! He put a ring on it!
unlucky
who done her hair lego .... lol
Zebedee Rotten I disagree. She is proof that someone with adhd and anxiety can live a meaningful and successful life. She is lovely and she puts up with issues he has just as much he puts up with issues she has . She is a gracious woman not spouting everything out about him while he does talk about her issues publicly . She is right about him sometimes saying some off the wall things that aren’t necessary or appropriate. I keep up with a lot of their podcasts and videos. We don’t see half of what they deal with and work though together behind the scenes but the point is- they don’t give up and are still together , and because of that, they are a ministry and an example . Two imperfect people are doing their best to love each other and help others with unique and difficult challenges have better lives and relationships too. Both of them appear try to be as real as possible on camera.
That’s a lot . I don’t think Dr. Amen or Tana are unlucky. They are blessed and fortunate .
To each his own with hair style preference btw, if you don’t like it , you don’t like it. You know the saying- one mans trash another mans treasure . She is his treasure, not yours. Obviously for very good reasons .
April Adler I see what you are saying and it’s funny because it used to be the other way around. He’d do all talking and she couldn’t get a word in edgewise . They are trying to work on this I can tell . Maybe it will get better .
Kids with adhd do not always treat others well...they are trying so you can't say they are not respected
I so much enjoyed and learned a lot from Dr. Amen, but unfortunately his wife keep interrupting and deviate the point of conversation. That’s so unfortunate, I just felt he is sharing an amazing clinical research results, but unfortunately it was very hard to follow due to her constant interruption and questions and story telling !
He's a saint!
Do some ADD brains make the connection between stimulation and anxiety, creating an anxiety disorder that supplies constant stimulation.
I am finding that as I tackle my anxiety, my ADD seems to become more prominent, that hyperactive energy / jitteriness.
