i'm 41, got the diagnose at 38... it changed my life... (my son also got ADD, that's when i found out...)

watching this triggers my ADHD!!!! cant focus because of the panned audio!!!

boosting metabolism while exercising on empty stomach? Are there some backed scientific data on this statement? As I know calories restriction/movement on empty stomach actually get the body into survival state and slowing down the metabolism. Please don't consider my comment as some sort of attack. I am just writing out of curiosity and wondering if there is sth I don't know yet- if so, I'd like to broad my knowledge in this particular case. Thanks.

I've just turned 35 and finally have my adhd assessment on Friday. I'm nervous. I'm worried and feel so lost. I'm aways making others family/friends smile and laugh. If I'm honest i feel like a failure yet I'm always starting and quitting. My head is honestly up my ass.

I feel SO sleepy and exhausted after 2-4 hrs of taking the medication. Im only on 10mg so hopefully it goes away with an increased dose.

Was just given strattera for ADHD, after I give my Dr my childhood medical records with my diagnosis to him then will try other medications. I'm eager to find out how this all affects me, I'm miserable, I would prefer quicker results and am scared about the side effects of strattgera.

Yessss!! That's it! The final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place, thank you so much! Throughout my childhood and as early as 6 years old, I had this constant nagging feeling of hopeless sadness. It was as if the world was painted gray and nothing could give me joy. I was also permanently suicidal, my first suicide attempt as early as 8 years old. The slightest childish blunder on my part would throw me into total despair, making me think I was the worst person that ever lived. And I grew up in the most loving and gentle family! This feeling of "grayness" has never quite left me. What a relief, thank you so much!

Yeah, my problem is I can’t find the doctor that actually help me

I had a similar experience and also quit cold turkey.

WTF?!? 0:33 to 2:58 is extremely relatable to me, I think I feel the same kind of drowsiness and laidback-ness when I'm on ciders and beer(hate it). But as soon as I touch hard liquor I feel energy overwhelm me(not always), like I'll switch between 4 different things in a short timespan. It almost feels like those things aren't as annoying to do, I'll clean, do my work, laundry, go on a phone call/social media.... Just things(I'm doing 3/4 of those rn, with some cheap vodka). I've never even attempted to get diagnosed.

Can ADD cause a person to get tired due to all the additional processing and stimuli from their surrounding?

Unless you live in the USA where nobody with med prescribing powers wants to give you ADHD meds even if you have a proper medical diagnosis.

Its very difficult to get mediocrity either its very low or very high

I had trouble sitting and watching the whole video. Couldn’t stop shaking or fidgeting my leg the whole time lol.

Im 37 and was wondering why im like this, so i googled all the bad things i do and all signs pointed to ADHD. I feel like it all makes sense now. I meet with a Doctor this week and hopefully find out. But everything you said in the first 5mins felt like my life

35 years of my life Before i realized that i have adhd. The deeper I go, the more I realize that this has affected me in every aspect of my life. Thanks for helping me catch up with myself.

ADHD is such a fascinating disorder. All my life I thought it was about inattention or hyperactivity.

I hope you have more content like this. Thank you😊

2:29 that dude got caught cheating

Wow this describes me I was always told I had ADHD ever since very young in elementary school I used to be bullied my parents refused to put me on medication and now as an adult I struggled with many jobs schedules and whatnot specially my last work from home job. I am going to go get diagnosed next week and I think I may have it for sure.

Don't tell me what to do. I'm not lazy; I'm just saving my energy for an emergency. It took me six months to fix that hole-yes, six months, and the hole is fixed right. You want to make a to-do list for when we go on vacation? My wife woke up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The next day, she told me she thought she fell asleep for ten seconds while she was peeing. When I get up in the middle of the night to pee, I've already had two conversations with myself and three scenarios about how my day will be in the morning. Going to the bathroom takes less than a minute, and yes, I always feel like I'm the weirdo at work.

Some of these are redundant, but you covered the bases.

If you are looking to learn about perseverATION, this is not the video for you.

I had people that convinced me they were my friends, but would talk about me like i was stupid because i would sucker up to their ego to not give them the impression that im judging them or i dont appreciate their presence. Lime i had "friend" show me a fake ghost video, but he would talk to me like "this is so convincing, dont you believe this"? "Wow this is such compelling evidence" even though i know it was fake, i didnt want him to feel stupid, so i played along. Turns out, he was being manipulative and toying with my impressionable mind. He still lives at home with mommy and daddy and is unemployed. My adhd is untreated and ive been able to maintain a full time job with overtime, my own car, and my own apartment with no roommates to share with. I put him to shame to say the least😊

i dont feel anything than just emotionless and focused and im not eating alot and im realy thirsty thats all

If you had to rewind this video more than once, you probably have ADD.

Is it just me or are we pathologizing every life event? I mean what's next? "I don't want to get fired from my job syndrome"?

No estoy diagnosticado y no sé nada de tdah, este fue el primer video que encontré. Necesitaba trabajar mucho tiempo ayer, así que compré una caja de esto porque no pude conseguir algo... Diferente... Tome 2 pastillas, no sé cuántos MG tenía cada pastilla, no sé dónde deje la caja ni lad otras pastillas, pero no sentí nada, pasaron las horas y me rimdi por vencido, pero unas 5 horas después me empecé a sentir un pocodkferente, honestamente se sentía placentero, aún 7 horas después me siento relativamente bien, pero no dormí, no he dormido, ya está amaneciendo y no pude dormir. Algo es cierto, en la noche me quería sentar a dibujar, quería estudiar un poco de anatomía y eso, me puse a dibujar, y no paré, no podía parar, me sentía bien dibujando, como si pudiera seguir por horas, y eso hice pero me empezó a doler la espalda. He consumido muchas cosas, en esta dosis de alrededor de 400mg Insomnio Ligera sensación de bienestar .me siento bien, tranquilo (diferente a lo usual) Me gusta, simplemente no puedo dormir, no me preocupa ni me importa, pero lo resaltó para que quiwne lo lea lo vea

are these false claims of mental illness/health by psychiatry no longer working to support their interests in greed, hypocrisy, and authoritarianism like the initial plan? Then it's an excuse. At least as far as psychiatry/big pharma is concerned.

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes and alcohol addiction. Got diagnosed with 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.

Failure to pay attention and have to keep rewinding this fucking video : CHECK! :D EDIT : Yes to everything ... how on earth has a medical professional never noticed this in me before?

i do reading just fine, but when it's important i can't read at all.

have been diagnosed with severe combined type, i must say having adhd is hell on earth especially with my co occuring problems

Who skipped intro 😂

Self employment- trades? I wouldn’t want to be employed in one place but whatever you find works best for you.

Thank you for this video - it really makes sense. It did amuse me when you said “if you have any of these symptoms together” as I can certainly relate to *all* of them 😂😂😂

ive pasused this and gad to rewind at lest twice each just to hear what he was saying ciz i got distracted and then yhe other two times cuz i wasny fully focusing on wjat he was saying

Me: literally having every symptom. Life spinning out of control. Also me: no insurance and no way to get diagnosed. What it feels like: I need help. You need money to get help. If I could make money without having a mental breakdown I wouldn’t need help. 😅

I zoned out while watching this and went on a complete journey in my head which went from discos over sign language to lip reading. And when zoning out was metioned in the video I was like "Hey, wait a minute!" I keep finding more and more signs that I might have ADD but I don't know what to do with that knowledge.

No 1. Getting on time

10/10 😢😢😢😢

I feel feel like you know me and we never met 😮

Thank you thank you thank you for making this video! To anybody reading this, you are not alone. ❤️🫂 DON’T beat yourself up. Pick yourself up. ❤️

I tried to finish but got bored!

I was diagnosed at a young age and my life has still been a terrible mess

what the hell is up with that static noise in your video man. so annoying

i have everysingle one of these so badly that it makes me real sad, cause because of the emotional and hyperactive traits everyone calls me annoying and un-decent (which is unfair.) but maybe im just lazy. :I it could be that im lazy but im trying so hard. also i had to rewind this video so many times cause i just kept accidentally forgetting to listen to it. its probably just cause im lazy without realizing it, cause my parents say ADHD probably doesnt exist, or something like that.

I'm on Strattera for 4 weeks now. My ADHD is kinda combination of both types, with the inattentive type a bit more prominent. I got some mild effects as decreased apetite and dry mouth, which for me are actually positive, because I struggle to drink enough water during the day (some days all my liquid intake was a morning cappuccino), now I am thirsty all the time and I am able to drink at least 1l of water a day. Also the decreased apetite is somewhat beneficial, because I had random cravings for sweet food during the day, which now ceased. Also it somehow increased my libido, which was previously taken down by hormonal IUD, so that's also positive. I feel that it helped me to deal with the hyperactive side of my ADHD. Like I don't need to scroll on my phone while watching videos / attending a lecture... I am able to do just one thing. I feel calmer and I don't struggle with chores as much as I used to. But when it comes to the inattentive symptoms... nope, I don't feel any change. I was lucky enough to get combined medications, I got a prescription to Ritalin as a supportive medication. That helps me a lot to get trough long tasks, such as studying (and not postponing ot until the last moment). But I use it as a last resort, because I'm afraid of building a tolerance. Now half a pill gets me to overcome the initial aversion to study and one pill is enough to keep me glued to textbooks for as long as I need (basically a cheatcode to use hyperfocus at my request).

I sure do appreciate your honesty and accountability here. Very mature. Insightful too. Your videos are SO helpful. (ADHD partner here) would you consider doing a video on cause and effect? I understand some folks with ADHD have this challenge, understanding cause and effect. My fiance, diagnosed late in life, is one of them. Thanks for the superb content!

I'm sorry, I don't think you should be making videos that say ADHD medication is not effective. That is your experience. Most people have great success managing their ADHD lives with the correct medical intervention.
