What is adult ADHD and how to treat it 

Me listening to this podcast while procrastinating by cleaning my room >.>

The stigma is real. I just got diagnosed at almost 41. Have literally turned dysfunctional with chronic fatigue and burnout, and have to deal with my parents dismissing it. I’m so relieved to finally be validated that I’m not just a lazy scatter brain that has no will power or self control. Have been struggling so much since having kids especially. And previously diagnosed with anxiety of course 🤦🏽‍♀️

Relate. I wish I could just get diagnosed!! I’m going in circles getting help !

@20:25 "level of rigorous diagnosis is maybe not what's happening". Understatement of the century. Psychiatry has gotten lazy, with 'talk therapy' and medication letting therapists off the hook with their responsibility to do any real analysis or assessment. Thumbs up on the segment and quality of the interview.

I am always very confused about the figures for children and adults. My understanding is that if you have ADHD you have a lifelong condition. They say less adults have it than children which makes no sense. Adults may not be diagnosed because until recently it was alnost impossible to get a diagnosis, especially if you are female. Adults may be better at masking but that doesnt mean you don't still have it and masking is very unhealthy.

Thank you, this is great video, how ever it’s so hard to get a diagnoses. It’s just a shame there’s not enough Drs who specialise in ADHD. 😢

Hating my ADHD right now. Waiting nearly a year to get a formal diagnosis and access to medication is awful. I need help now but I can't get it.

12:55 Felt a little personally attacked when she mentioned procrastination, meanwhile I’m sitting here watching this instead of doing the 7 assessments I have to complete/resubmit😭

I have an older brother who was definitely hyperactive-impulsive type and diagnosed pretty early because of how insanely unmanageable he was, which sort of 'pushed me' into having to fill a more submissive little brother role, probably more submissive than normal because of how much movement and sound my brother generated and how completely it commanded everyone's attention, and how little of my movements and sounds anyone in the same hemisphere with him could give a shit about. So most of what I did was sitting on the couch quietly watching my demon brother bounce off the walls and everyone trying to keep him from setting the place on fire or breaking all of his own limbs. And when it came to play, he played the video games, and I was perfectly content to watch him. And for most of our adolescence, he was the sheer chaotic magnetism of the duo, and I was the quite, cordial observer and side bar; like a comfortable pair of sunglasses for staring directly into the sun. My parents actually thought I was deaf because of how repressed I was. I started talking late, and I didn't really give a shit about most thing that would definitely get the attention of the average baby; like clapping behind their head or making a funny face. I was just sort of deadpan and spacey. They had me evaluated by the family doctor and he was like "No, he can definitely hear you, he just doesn't seem to care".

not enough attention to people having a trully awful time living in utter chaos and its impact in all areas of life

Interesting episode but the Not so Background music around 25+ mins is so distracting I can barely listen.

Dude, 35 minutes? Is there a recap? AHHH!

Wow, this explains a lot.

they didnt cover how to treat it … lame 😒

Excellent !!!!

Is concerta generic the same efficacy

Hey I have Adhd and cptsd its been fun lol So the adhd and disassociation gives me no executive functioning😂

I never hate my ADHD. I hate the word suffer. I never did suffer. For adhd. See the profits dat ADHD gives you. 1: never boring. 2: always active. 3: we are loyal. 4: we are creative. 5: we like to think outside the box.

What is adhd: coming late Anything else? They can be sooo good in riskmanagement because they think all of these thoughts and go down all those different paths what can happen. Relly? Relly? Please you dont understand adhd thats the most trivial shit i have ever heared off call those people something else. Adhd is feeling terrible about things you want to to, having a brain that does not want to cooperate and u trying to work with it. This means more pain, less social intuition and intuition in generall like someone that has sleept 2 hours 10 days in a row is sick and depressed but even then im not sure normal people feel as shit And its a spectrum so the mildest people are the most motivated they are gona be the loudest as to what adhd is.
