Lisa Bilyeu on Adult ADHD Diagnosis 

Expensive?

Over $5k. After my hubby watched the recording of my results appt.- he said he would’ve paid twice that much.

Absolute my pleasure!! Honesty is the true key to any change! 🥰

Alkohol also make this wholes and better legal then illegal drugs

Ahhhh thanks so much! ❤

Thanks so much!! 🥰

Did anything happen after you got diagnosed? I’m 31 also from NZ and was diagnosed a few years prior but was essentially told I had it with no information or guidance on what to do next. I was diagnosed with a few mental illnesses but was pretty much told what was wrong with me then sent on my way 😢 Just wondering if that’s normal

I got distracted because of the plant behind dr Amen😅…(“is that… a (fake) Marihuana-plant???😳😂😂😂)

If you don’t mind me asking… what happened to you that you regret smoking?

@@CScuber14 I used to smoke it to get the nice, relaxing feeling at the end of the day but over the years I sometimes found myself getting paranoid on it and got too deep into my thoughts, one day that feeling turned into a huge panic attack. Never touched it again after that but now I've developed an anxiety disorder I can't shake

It's absolutely not harmless. Depending on an individual's brain chemistry, it can awaken a latent mental susceptibility.

THANK YOU

@renatapters3681 I agree w/what you explained. Treating ADHD has to be a multi-faceted approach, particularly for kids in intense learning situations like school. I speak from experience as a retired elementary school counselor. There isn't one magic bullet. Skills have to be taught to manage certain focusing & learning, social or other deficits that come w/managing ADHD & medication assists the brain on being able to do those tasks. If you listened closely, Dr. Amen said he "suspects" from years of experience that the "holes" in Lisa's brain are from nicotine & marijuana use. Any long term substance abuse is not healthy for anyone. And I wonder how trauma & stress, neglect etc. affect the brain & could they do the same damage? We are such complex beings as are our brains. I struggle w/ADHD & I'm 63. I also grew up in a rageaholic/alcoholic home & have suffered from trauma related to such an environment. I was successful, earning 2 degrees by the grace of God, but it was a struggle. I of course self-medicated w/drugs & alcohol in my teen years & w/alcohol into my early 30's. It is a constant day to day managing of my focus & attention & my heightened fight or flight response. Exercise, gardening & being outdoors works wonders for me in relieving stress. I take supplements & do my best to eat a healthy diet. I bike & walk regularly. So, there's lots of good info from Dr. Amen, but it takes a lot of work. And sadly not everyone can afford to have such a scan done that insurance won't pay for. I'm sure my scan would yield similar results among others as I've had 2 concussions from car accidents in my lifetime. A well rounded approach as you stated is what works & there is seldom a magic bullet as ADHD is a complex diagnosis that impacts all facets of life. If medication helps in the management of it, I see no problem as long as other approaches are also being used along w/the medication.

@@barbs1298 Thank you Barbs for sharing your story. I recently watched a video lecture by an ADHD specialist who said that scans are not used and cannot be used as part of a diagnostic process. In another video lecture, he describes how certain areas of the brain shrunken in ADHD people, but after years of receiving stimulant medication treatment, the neural pathways linking executive function to those shrunken areas, such as the amygdala’s start to grow a normalise in size.

Do you microdose?

I heard Charlotte's web works, where did u get it, off the site?

@@aphysique yes.

Unless like a loved one at 25 hospitalized for psychosis… twice. Not so great!

That is it! You are correct!

This comment is disrespectful. Lisa is a very strong courageous woman and is transparent and honest about her vice of smoking weed. She wants to give it up and good on her. I don't think she has mental health issues. She's open honest strong and a beautiful person. I love listening to her chanel and find her inspirational. Go Lisa! We love you x ❤️

@@franhoffman7435 I second this! Lisa is a compassionate loving women who is very brave to share her experience. It takes "Radical Confidence" to level up. Listening to her and watching her videos transmutes positive energy to us. She exudes a strength to help us all be better and kind. And I love her sense of humour.♥

@@franhoffman7435thanks so much for this response! It means a lot to me 🥰
