This man explains things beautifully.

I saw a clip of this on instagram and his voice really caught my attention and motivated me to study so I watched it on repeat as I’m writing my assignment until I absorbed the whole thing and I think his video will now be my study music is so motivating and calming at the same time

CBT DOESN'T WORK FOR ADHD .....FACT !

If your Forward Looking MEMORY improves (forward goal carrying memory (INTENT))....your Anxiety and and Hypervigilence improves.....so MEDICATION IS THE SOLUTION !.....because it improves INTENT thru time !

ADHD is a Functional Impairment !.....Talk Therapy DOES'"T work to fix Functional Impairments (she admits it at 25:20, " I forgot, I didn't get around to it", that's the Adhd affecting her ability to maintain INTENT, which her Modifications weren't doing anything to improve, she was just coping), Only Medication does this !

This video basically describes me, all the way back to childhood. I always thought i had a learning disability in terms of mathmetics, especially, I would start an assignment and the formulas would look like Mandarin to me, I could not keep up. However, I was great with Literature, History, and Sciences. But I NEVER did homework and coasted through on quiz and exam scores. In 8th grade, my math teacher told me I should look up Procrastination, because that was me. This has haunted me my entire life, and FINALLY, at over 50 years old, I have come across Inattentive ADD, and what it is..... It is me. I was never Hyperactive, in fact I was a chronic oversleeper. When there is no stimulation, I basically pass out from boredom. I am just learning of all of this, but I honestly feel, that had I caught this at a much earlier age, my entire life would be entirely different. I feel as though I have been robbed of success in many aspects of my life. I have the hardest time remembering the little things, like introdutory names, where i laid something down, etc. I am habitually late because i procrastinate too long and then have to rush to meet the appintment. I have had a hard time in relationships because i am in my own head often, thinking about dozens of things, and I miss rather large chunks of conversations, frustrating others, because they hhave to repeat themselves.... it isn't intentional. But I think the worst thing is creativity. I love to write, and to do projects, but I start off strong and then it peters out until it was something I have been "working on" for like a decade.... I have so many anecdotes of this that it basically sums up my being. I am grateful that you made this video. I have an appointment with my GP to see if I can get one Vyvanse, as I have been told people who have simimalr issues react well to it, with minimal side effects but we will see what the doctor says. My therapist recommended the Vyvanse to me. I am hopeful for, if nothing else, to slow down the noisy thoughts that are always vying for my attention.

Or whether they're just barking.

Diagnosed in 1978. The records were lost. Parent decided not to medicate me. Grew older and forgot. Hit early adulthood and got into all kinds of trouble due to really poor impulse regulation and a tendency to crave stimulation of many kinds. Never fit in, never found work (also physically disabled, so that's that,) and never had any relationships. Made friends and never kept them. Approaching 50, watching stuff about ADHD on TV, mentioned it to my mother, she remembered I had been diagnosed. And now I can't afford a diagnosis for the assistance I might be able to get under the NDIS. And lack the excutive fuctioning sklills and focus to complete the process of applying. he says it's underdiagnosed. maybe because the people like me whose lives have been so negatively impacted by it can't afford $1000 a session consultations. But nobody cares, do they. Doesn't hurt anyone rich or important so who gives a toss.

Well I officially zoned out for 12 minutes of this video 😂😂😂

Unfortunately ....CBT for ADHD doesn't work !.........you forget the therapy goals as soon as the psychologists door closes on your backside !

hey your videos are nice . would you like to get better thumbnail?

Do a backflip

This guy will look much better three years into the future with a bald head 😅

Incredibly well explained.

Why.?? Whats the point.?? Just to become another cash cow for big pharmaceutical companies so they can pump you full of disgusting filthy chemicals...

Can a person with authority hold down a permanent job

you need to get to the point quite fast

I had an exam, my classmates studied for three months. I studied in the bus on the way to the exam center.

I always tear up when i watch a video of a professional beautifully illustrating my experience. I hope to be treated by one of them one day soon 🤍

What happens is... when U had found a person who is everything then that person isn't there anymore so it feels like one will never find someone who makes one feel that way never again :"))

I have all symptoms yet dr who diagnosed me said don’t have adhd

I have addiction problems. But i can keep my job held down . My focus was crazy bad when younger . Im going get tested and hope its brightens up my life

Jesus man can we be fixed. Im either full throttle at something or nothing

Fuck this is me im 55 and never been able to Finnish anything

Ha, i have an assessment next week and i'm just watching these to see what to expect and also in doubt about if it's the right answer to me... TL;DR: I'm kind of reassured it's the right thing to explore. I was never hyperactive. Well my parents banned me from having "E" numbers because it made me "hyperactive" but I never felt hyperactive, didn't like sport or structured games like that, i'd far rather play british bulldog or cops and robbers but it's not like i had many friends to play stuff with. Coast until secondary school and then it gets worst. Yup, at secondary school i was top set for most lessons and thoroughly brilliant at snapping back to reality, remember the last few words the teacher said and quickly checking the white board out in order to orient myself on how i should answer a teachers question. The teachers rarely had my attention though, normally i'd be flicking around the text book reading ahead, taking my pens apart, or playing "reflection" games of how a ball/ray would bounce around the room, or just day dreaming about something else. Teachers were always saying I was my own worse enemy and that if i just applied myself better i'd be excellent. My brothers says I'm the academic and smart one (and i'll admit he's partially wrong there but not fully wrong), I got very mediocre GCSEs, he broke the school record for them without seemingly breaking a sweat. Use effective stress to deal with homework and coarsework. Ha, you're saying that's not how most people do stuff with a deadline? Some of my best work has been done at 2am the night before the deadline 😂. I always did the bare minimum for homework and 6th form and Uni, fortunately I picked a topic I could hyperfocus on and my uni didn't have a final year paper. Also I think because i had friends on the spectrum (and tbh I thought i was just a bit of a weird half autistic case, because the hyperfocus, lacking friends, semi-reguar meltdowns, I never fully understood them autistic friends though, they were similar but didn't add up) I was able to organise the work we had to do. It's almost like i couldn't do it for myself but if i was doing it to aid others it bypassed some bit of my brain that would hinder me. I passed (both 6th form and uni) with yet more, exceptionally mediocre, grades (in a fortunately traditionally very hard subjects). It took me until after a decade after leaving university that actually i suck at exams. Fidgetting or restless legs... I used to rock back and forth or side to side at school on the high stools, again i thought it was an austism/stimming trait. Even right now my legs are swimming and i'm on the exercise ball I use as my computer chair (because it's comfortable but also it allows a lot of movement and jiggling). Yeah, I learnt to stop butting in. The problem is if i don't get my thought to you now, you can pretty much guarantee i'll lose it before i can right it down or get a chance to speak. I've lost so many solutions to problems at work because i've learnt to stop butting in and because the second i look for a pen to right it down or someone says something interesting it just displaces my thought. Everything's incomplete. Ouch that hurts. Careers, I've only had three jobs, the first two i basically quit on whim (they didn't pay well, weren't going anywhere, and at the time i could survive without them). My current one has been 9 years long but I moved topics 3 years into that, giving me a refresh, covid screwed things up and kept it somewhat interesting (and allowed me to do some really cool and fancy stuff), then everyone, including the guy i trained (ironically who never learnt to stop butting in), got promoted over me because despite doing over half a dozen of them, i suck at the internal interviews. I've lost that drive, they know it, they want me to change topics again with a potential hybridising my discipline into another discipline but honestly i've had enough there. Biggest mistake of my life was staying after them first three years (and probably not looking into ADHD sooner because "I don't bounce off the walls"). But they pay reasonably well and its a very secure job. It should be a dream job for someone like me but fighting them impulsive behaviours to leave is getting harder. At the same time moving jobs is hard too and well see previous point. Everything's incomplete and the only time i've moved jobs is when I've quit the previous one then looked for new ones, with the stress of not having a job lighting the fire under me. Yay ADFNZB. Ouch, but it has its upsides sometimes. The thing i did during covid was basically because I had done A, had started but could no longer continute B, so I jumped to Z and kind of hopped my ideas backwards. It meant when I was able to do B again, I basically did BCD all in one go. Once you break the expected order of things you see things others often don't, exploits, weaknesses and strengths. Honestly it can be pretty infuritating if i'm honest because you have all these "leaders" doing things in expected orders of start to finish when really they should start at the finish and work out what's needed to get there. Instead they seem to just throw things and see what sticks. Co-morbid mood disorder/emotional dysregulation. Yeah... Fortunately I never did drugs, I never want to have a meltdown like i used to at school and I don't trust drugs would let me retain what control i have. I've been drunk on a couple of occasions and fortunately I seem to be a merry trying to be helpful drunk (which is nicely reassuring that the behaviours i usually aim for are amplified by alcohol) but it's still not something i trust, fortunately i regularly forget alcohol exists, which tbh is a very useful trait (though I do have have very nice bottle of gin that I should probably finish sometime before the decade is out)). Yeah i kind of watched this at x1.5 and *looks up* apparently I was constantly distracted by my own thoughts. As for what kicked it off? Someone with ADHD told me (around 2018-2019) I should explore it as a possibility. I ignored her though because she had been screwing me over for months at that point. in 2022 A family member who's brain i just get (almost like we're running the same software but in different themes), got diagnosed with it, I thought it was a bit curious but hey, i knew i was a weird Autistic and didn't think any further on it. In 2023 A second person, who i had a lot more respect for, told me i should get checked (and then told me in private that she had it too). That was the "huh, maybe I should look into this" moment.

Just an observation. This ‘common condition’ is presented here as a problem, where most of the narrative context is with being (or being prepared to be) a productive worker.

Miss him x

ADHD is a clock that goes from 12:00 to 4:00 to 9:00 to 11:00 to 11:30 to 11:45-11:46-11:47-11:48-11:49 ect.

This isn't everyone? Like, this isn't the regular base for behavior? Im going to listen again b/c he said some things that spoke directly to me, and my kids, and I gapped out Is there medication now that won't stunt physical growth? Thankyou❤

Isn’t everyone like this?

So how do I get help????

Regardless of whether you do or do not want one you cant get one cause the NHS doesnt give a shit

Well shit.

Finally I am going to get tested,I am 41yrs old ..I’m not afraid I just need to understand why I am the way I am 😊

Thank you for giving us hope, Doctor. ❤

Hands down best video on ADHD.

God this is me. I can't believe it took me to 44yrs to realize it :(

This video is too long

Hurts too much to listen to this description of my life. I can't afford rent much less any help despite working insanely hard pulling all nighter after all nighter for 20 years. No addictions except maybe coffee purely as a required stimulant on a job, sober for 6 years but can't keep a job because I can't produce, sleep, or show up on time with any regularity. Paperwork overwhelms my senses and shoots anxiety inexplicably to the moon. I have full body hyper-hydrosis like crazy so I can't go into food prep as I'd be sweating all over people's food despite healthy weight and workout habits. I have zero personal projects completed. Even small ones that are slated to only take 2 days with low quality just to be able to attain that trophy of one project complete. I thought I had a bit of a lifehack by just working longer to accomplish deadlines but after 20 years of assorted employment, I'm unable to sleep on time, wake on time, or be rested for even a single day of work. Can't keep my word because of it. No respect from bosses or coworkers because of it. No friends anymore. Seriously just waiting to die at 40 yrs old.

Oh dear, Im 1:29 mins in & alresdy I cant stand the rapid changing back and forth from close up to wider angle view

Coasting through school with minimal attention--all-night cramming sessions even in graduate school. I get things done by creating false drama around it. Motivation has always seemed a problem, but I do have the capacity for hyperfocus. I did do a dissertation by stressing myself out, but began having panic attacks towards the end. Really burnt out my adrenal glands, and 25 years later I still take adrenal cortex every day. I use to-do lists to prevent ongoing procrastination and poor prioritization. That works okay, but it's a crutch, and feels like one. Without to-do lists, though, my life would have been one gigantic mess.

I love it, “she said “being Cultivating is a skill”. Another good quote. What about all relationships ? Please make another one of these focusing on the relationship with the teenager relating with the parents. or adults and adolescents in general?

The first one sounds passive aggressive ha. We can't win 😅

Thank you for your wisdom....

I shared this on facebook and proceeded to scroll the feed, momentarily forgot that I am supposed to watch this

I am really considering seeing a psychiatrist to get diagnosed and maybe try some treatment. I really want to try the feeling of having a normal brain the same way I can see clearly with my glasses on 😢

Thank you, went to take notes with what makes sense & pretty much everything you said is my life & that helps 🙏
