What a great podcast. Our ten yr old son was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I too prefer ( executive, functioning). It’s been a journey as far as meds, routine, diet & exercise.
I was diagnosed with ADD in 2000 (they now call it the redundant ADHD non H). Been on Adderall ever since. I was told that the frontal lobe does not receive a suffient amount of electricity. Caffeine elevates that to normal, but does not remain in the system for long. This is why I could drink coffee all day and still fall asleep at bed time. Also, I could drink it all day and never get the shakes. Those who do get the shakes is because their electrical levels were normal to begin with and now they have too much. In 2014, I was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. Was told that is hard to diagnes as the symptoms are parallel and overlap. Seems I have ADD and Asperger's. Treatment was the same - Adderall and psychological counseling. I take 10mg Extended release of Adderall daily. It does help.
Was diagnosed AuAHD at 61 ON Vyvanse ~ unfortunately Vyvanse increases my HR. Too expensive to go to the psych & get a different medication. It only helps with a little bit of fatigue.
Interesting and informative show - thank you. Can ADHD symptoms get worse during the menopause? I seem to have more trouble concentrating and focussing now than ever before. I'm 52.
Wow. Nice talk. Working memory is a great one. I'm not sure if auditory processing disorder is a symptom. I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD but have seizures in the frontal lobe and surgery in the temp. I wouldn't be surprised at all if I had ADHD
Praying this helps ppl understand when I can't act like other ppl. Things that are so simple, common & structured for others are nearly or completely impossible for me. Like snail mail. I was liberated when email came along!! Only 1 step!! HALLELUJAH!! I can now write to ppl AND they get it!! I have a hi IQ so I am VERY hard on myself when I can't follow through or accomplish simple ordinary things. Anyway You can help me like myself & my 1st world dysfunctions better? This was an incredible peek into SOOOO many of my inabilities! Thank You both deeply for providing this for me. I will look at the guest's sites etc to find this cognitive therapy she mentioned. I went to my local small town mental health for just such a thing to retrain my brain to be more like others & they just wanted to give me pills - which I will Not take! Anyway... I digress 🤪🤓 Another characteristic in which I shine!! 😂 Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU!! I have glimmer of hope👍🏼🎉🗝️💎
Also check.out mindfulness. Amish Jha. 'Peak Mind ' author and attention researcher talks about the power of mindfulness exercises for training attention and protecting our precious resource
50 years of dextroamphetamine. otherwise i would not have made it. executive functions. a few months ago I developed hyperthyroidism. graves’ disease. i’ve lowered myself to 5 mg. methimazole has stopped it 3 weeks. however my executive function is all out of wack. everything was fine until few months ago. short story
