thanks for your comment, I needed someone to stop me scrolling 😂

🤣 I feel so attacked ❤

@@thevonslasher welcome 🤣

You are awesome 👌, my focus view is in the far far future for solutions, is so so hard for me to communicate with literally anyone's close range view an stay focused without get detracted from there boring dangerous movements threw there location view in time. I can't change my mind to there timeline I will die due to laws of attraction i have to keep what I was gifted with. Lol im only in the middle of this video so ya your amazing work is so still needed, im so behind but not for long thankyou for your curiosity 😅

😆😂🤣😆

OMG me too. And I’m 60. Sitting at home, unemployed, assuming I’m totally useless. And then, I nearly didn’t click on this because I thought ADHD was ‘just’ kid hyperactivity. And now I’m in tears too. I’ve dragged myself through an entire career and life and family and only treacherous deadlines have FORCED me to execute. WTF??

Same

I’m 50, SAME!!

I’m 50 and same. Haven’t achieved nearly as much as I know I’m potentially capable of. My main problems are fatigue, poor sleep and emotional disregulation. Which don’t sound like adhd issues but after watching many of these videos, I have learnt they are. Without the fatigue I think I could have found ways to overcome the emotional disregulation, lack of motivation & time blindness. But the regular fatigue is so hard to overcome. I often think high energy levels is the true meaning of wealth.

@@Ikr2025 I use mainserin to combat poor sleep, but I only take 30mg no more than twice a week, usually weekends or when I know I can just relax the next day

AMEN!!!

I honestly wish that every adult who got diagnosed got a chance to see when his lectures or at least like a 15-second clip where he says this part of the brain and this part of the brain don't connect so the ADHD person knows what to do but they can't do it. It's not going to happen quit trying. So validating!!!!

I think his ideas cross over to dyslexia and ASD.

Right r

If you don't mind me asking, what medication ended up working for you?

@Nishant adhd symptoms are a spectrum, while I am completely lost without an calculator my spouse has no issues even with her adhd

Don't quit regardless of limitations. We can enjoy the journey to recovery. May you have pure love in your life. It is medicine tonthe soul.

As someone that was "diagnosed" and had "treatment" (drugs/therapy/after school classes) I have confidence in saying the "treatment" did nothing but hold me back.. As a kid my imagination was wild and wandering..the prescribed "meth" they gave me stopped that.. Once my mom saw that I wasn't the same kid she asked me if I wanted to keep taking the pills.. I said no.. They made me a zombie.. My grades fell.. I acted out more extreme if I was on edge. When Highschool came around I was finally off the pills. That was when I started to feel like myself again and it really helped me.. I tried smoking weed in grade 9.. And since then I've been way happier and felt more comfortable in my skin. Not sayin weed is a better alternative, but I am saying prescription drugs suck and they barely ever work as intended. ADD/ADHD is a chemical imbalance for the most part.. But also somewhat mechanical. For instance.. When I was in grade 7 I was allowed to walk around the class while the teacher asked questions.. Because for me physical movement helps my brain flow.. I'm too creative to answer simple questions lol

@@codyblair8996 Glad you said this!! I got the impression from him that prescribing and taking ADHD meds is as easy and logical as taking vitamins. I wonder what he'd have to say about your experience with the meds?

@@napoleonsparis2058 I'd love too know.. My younger sisters think I should see a psychiatrist or something.. But I would run circles around them.. I trust my closest friends too "listen /hear me out" as I can trust them. And they already know me.

I can't stand him myself

Story of my life! I've just found out few hours ago what I've struggled with whole my life and I've been through therapies and changed a few psychiatrics over the decade, talking about these exact symptoms over and over again and I was diagnosed with anxiety and then given antidepressants which made my life even worse (I wasn't only still unable to finish or even start anything but I even stopped worry about it). I also attended some group therapy until I was told by therapist that she wouldn't tolerate me being late any more (even though she knew that was one of my reasons to be there at first place and I also wasn't late every single time and when I was it was for about 10 minutes). She told me it was me seeking attention!!

I'm literally in the exact same situation ..I'm even watching videos trying to figure out why Im a hoarder because my boyfriend is ready to break up with me over all the Clutter that I can't get control over.. but what's resonating even more about the Clutter then possibly being a hoarder is maybe that the issue is that I have ADHD that is untreated and if this is really how my brain works then maybe I need to start trying to work with it instead of against it.. and if I started implementing some of these tactics that were talked in this talk maybe I can get some benefits from that..

Thank you!!

not the actual slides tho'... "shortened-1-hour -version", quite confusing until i figured it out

Thanks

Over the last month or two I’ve realised I have ADHD - and I’m dyslexic too and I am now over 60. It’s interesting to read your longest time in work is 5 years - mine is 18months to 2 years! As for Dr Berkeley’s idea about sticky notes - (which I have tried) I notice them but with the dyslexia I don’t ‘see’ them! Also, I listened to all this video but so much I miss because my mind has wondered off so I’ve missed certain concepts - and that’s with hyper fixation. All so frustrating!!

@@cindyholton7234 I'll bet if you could somehow find a way to disconnect the nervous energy that has built up over your lifetime and redirect your metal energy toward finding creative ways to get what you want. As an older adult autistic I've finally discovered that SELF ACCEPTANCE has helped me to redirect and find my own way of getting what I want. Don't give up.

You only crash from sugar if you take a lot of it, a small amount will help you become alert, he already said that “ don’t gulp it just take a few sips”. I swear the guy is a genius he doesn’t miss anything!!

Man you are right! My life is totally turning in a new and positive direction after Dr Barkley lectures and explanations, I will add this: Ive been on low carb keto almost 1.5 year now, I can work focusing 30min max, after my brain get fatigue, I need rest or close my eyes, rest thoughts, glucose is essential for me, better from berries or half banana, same here, if I take refined sugar or any high sugar drink or food, after 20min..crash,..same...but i cant be calm or concentrate if i go ketosis, what makes me sleep less, restless, go for another pleasure experiences...before sex, bike, exercises for longer, loosing focus...I removed many stressors from my life, ex-girlfriend, family toxic members, friends, toxic and loaded information environment, phone, instagram, internet (essentials only), or anything that was depleting my dopamine levels or reducing my serotonin...so...I am on my way on recovery, they said dopamine normal levels can take from 3 months to 12 months to get back to normal, If I go ketosis, nervous system shake and I feel wrong..if I go back to carbs, crash and laziness, procrastination, emotional dominance, weakness...etc...so...i think is better to say each person can try everything on finding your own balance...better fine tuned brain chemistry and emotional regulation...in my case..living alone..isolate and sacrifice my old self..in order to clean the field on grown daily my new one...we are all in the same thing...and see the Dr's Work and comments like yours make me feel connected to something bigger than what i can understand...take care man love and peace...hope everybody can heal and recovery...being in low dopamine ADHD experiencing life is not worth..lets get back up 🙏🏼👍🏼

Totally agree, sugary drink as a last resort quick fix, very short window

People laugh when they can relate. It is either themselves or someone they know that he is describing, and they find humor in being able to relate. I don't believe their laughter is to mock or make fun of others. Good comedians always make people laugh at what they can relate to.

People tend to laugh over what makes them feel somewhat anxious. Maybe they are reacting to the fear of how they would feel if they were ADHD or maybe they are ADHD and are remembering unhappy experiences.

Try his website! There's a lot of helpful resources there.

The slides are available at the link in the description. You have to navigate to ADHD and LD resources, Burnett Lectures, and then find Dr. Barkley's lecture toward the bottom of the list. That page has a link back to these vids as well as the slides.

We do, in the description.

😂😂😂 bi bio odgovor na komentar... A ako smijem pitati, imaš li dijagnozu i terapiju? Ako da, živiš li u BiH ili si vani negdje? Ja sam godinama išla psihijatrima, promijenila ih nekoliko, žalila se na ove simptome, a da nisam imala pojma o ovom problemu i sve što sam dobila su antidepresivi, koji su me dotukli (dodatno), a dijagnoza je anksioznost!

hej ćao! imam dijagnozu godinama, nije me zaobišla ni depresija ni anksioznost. samu terapiju mogu dobiti jedino u bg-u, jer makar ovdje u bl ne daju lijekove za adhd.

@@pretor92 Pa i ja sam u BL i očito ne daju ni dijagnozu... Ako smijem još, koju terapiju dobijaš i pomaže li? Hvala ti, puno!

@@monikavikic nema problema! Imam concertu, međutim rijetko je koristim. pomaže nevjerovatno mnogo, međutim pošto nemam baš lak pristup lijeku čuvam dok mi baš ne zatreba. njegovi opisi efekata su 100% za mene.

@@pretor92 Hvala još jednom!

I just wish I had this 20 years ago.

@@raymeester7883 I wish I had this more than 30 years ago

Give me an example, if you have the time, please?

@@paddlefar9175 what's most important in this lecture on ADHD is what is shared about humans. He is behind the science with animal intelligence, attention to themselves, etc... But that doesn't take away from the great info on we humans dealing w ADHD👍🏼😊

@@tdhawk167 Oh, like in the cases of Gorilla, Chimps and certain Whales like the Sperm Whale?

Um, no. I'm not a medical professional, but that's not really what ADHD is. Also, you're just mentioning one example, and ADHD is a spectrum

Sugar doesn't make you hyper

This is a myth that we no longer believe to be true, as he mentions in part 1

Because they are great at global thinking not at natural linear thinking

I already forgot!!! Slides please!

Bottom of this page, might have to override the safety for downloading/viewing a pptx (power point) file: addfreesources.net/this-is-how-you-treat-adhd-with-russell-barkley-ph-d/

@@Stormcrow_JE Thanks!!

Yes, both (Toxo an ADHD) effect EF's...cause they're both brain damage...in most cases though ADHD doesn't reduce your IQ and Toxo does. It doesn't reduce IQ or cause EF damage in women though...so it has more specific damage to the amygdala, women lose their fear of rape or murder from men. Also you can get a blood test to test for Toxoplamosis. Also culturally ADHD seems more severe , here's a analogy, (I might be wrong)...a nation of Toxo infected persons is called Serbia...a nation of severe ADHD'ers is called a state prison. But I wonder did the higher likelihood of lowered IQ in addition to the EF deficits abet the slaughter that occurred in the former Yugoslavia? (stupidity and aggresivity, without understanding future consequences)

LEARN< LEARN< LEARN!! I almost gave up. Seriously!! I armed myself with KNOWLEDGE It is the Most Powerful weapon in your arsenal!! Don't give up. You have to do the hard work to LEARN everything you can about this. So, you can recognize it and teach those closest to you what you learn. The people that you surround yourself with HAVE to know and understand the Nature of the Beast! Or, you'll just push them away, mainly because they don't know or understand what is going on. .

Meds

@@IBCHARLALALA so which med u take

Glad I’m not alone. I also have Aphantasia-and neither do I have a “mind’s” voice, test, touch, etc. In my early twenties. Lucky enough to be perceptive enough of people’s subtle differences, that’s why I know I am different from the “norm”. Aphantasia does suck. Makes you wonder how all of these neurological problems are actually interconnected. I also have a sinking suspicion I have autism (I can’t adequately read other people’s emotions because I can’t relate to shallow emotions, and I am logical most of the time. I also equittable and treat everyone fairly-so I “disrepect” authority. And I also am unfettered by human-made societal constructs.)

Pretty recognisable aside from the emotions, I'm quite skilled at reading them.A bit too much and because there is no off switch i often need to remove myself physically from a conversation or situation where there are a lot of negative emotions or just prolongued. I feel like a..idk, a radio receiver just picking up all the emotions and it really adds to the sensory overload @@__rikaisuru

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_tpB-B8BXk0.html sent her this one only 13min long of the same lecture... All the info needed there..and said to her "this desc u exactly"

Lol and I sent to my dad not sure either if he will either, I'm already labelled in my family and friendship groups and I'm 35, damage is done and I'm just too tired of being the F*ck up. Feel useless.

Lol omg 😂😂👏👏 you're silly ❤❤

The only proven method is to dig a pit, and place sharpened sticks at the bottom. For added function, take thin branches and cover the pit to camouflage it from the ADHD. The ADHD will be distracted and fall in the pit.
