[@taqqubp3116]

i can't put into words how thankful i am for people like you (especially on videos with a target audience who struggles with adhd :') ) tysm for writing all of this down with timestamps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brianc11388]

you need to do more on adhd. it is so interesting and helpful

[@DocSnipes]

I will keep that suggestion in mind. Thanks for sharing.

[@KimiYildiz]

I agree!!

[@LS-zx7ep]

Thank you for having this video up. I’m so glad I ran into your videos. My son has ADHD and he had emotional break down because it was too much to handle with work at school . Which he is in his senior year in high school . I was looking for a channel that I can help him, and your Channel was the one that I was looking been searching for.

[@DocSnipes]

I am glad you are here and found the channel. Wishing you both peace, health, and happiness.

What if you can’t identify your strengths because all your life you have only been criticised for what you did wrong not praised for what you did right

[@abcxyz-cx4mr]

Yup!

[@foodisgoodthatsthetruth3231]

Get others to tell you why you're good at, I reckon. Even bosses, teachers, customers, whoever.

[@GD-tn3ez]

No one knows you better than YOU. Start meditating on this fact and you will discover your strengths. And you will soon discover that one of your strengths will be not giving your power over to your critics.

[@chasadiealexis3124]

Take personality, and career aptitude tests online. Just google it and you will find ones that will take the guesswork out of it. If you do want to ask a live person make sure it’s someone you actually respect.

[@meaningfulmakings]

Many times you have to start with believing you have talents and skills because you do! There is no such thing as a no one. I promise you you will begin to realize. I think asking others who know you is a good idea. I was told to look back into my childhood and recall what I was interested in at a young age. That is such a good place to start.

[@chooseaname1423]

I was recently diagnosed and searching hard for tips to improve things and there was not a lot out there with actual concrete suggestions and ideas. Thank you so much for putting work in to this and sharing the content. You’re a lifesaver!

Thanks for watching.

[@cmarkd1]

Thank you, this is well thought out. Having ADHD I've struggled with much of this. Regarding tardiness, what finally clicked for me has been setting my deadline for arriving 15 early. That gave me enough window for my ADHD "spin", and then focus on work.

How to accept scaffolding as an adult ADHD? There are definitely people who care about me but I feel like they look down on me or think that I lack something even if they remind me something out of care. I feel like they knew I will forget and they don't trust me. Maybe, I don't trust myself. I let myself down. I am not able to accept their care and I push them away. (I feel ashamed when they do this for me, I take it as a rejection and feel intensely about it even though I know that it's their love and care) It's so confusing and annoying - knowing that you have potential and knowing what to do and still not being able to do it (when people give me suggestions, it's like I know what you're saying but the difficult part is taking action. I lack taking action) Please please make a video about this if you can. Thank you.

[@DocSnipes]

High copper levels will cause people to have adverse reactions to stimulants, per Dr. Greenblatt, 40 years experience specializing in ADHD. Each individual is different. Those with genetic differences will have complex co-morbid situations.

How Can i get a BUDDY PERSON"? What kind of WANT AD ? Please?

[@TheMASTERshadows]

My doctor don't want to put me on medication as is not available in my country ... I suffer daily, my life is going off rails. Therapy doesn't seem to help. I'm 23 I feel like I'm going to lose my early adults years just struggling with daily life activities let alone planning my future and what not (Country is Morocco btw) any help ?

[@marcusanthony488]

Create a schedule for yourself. Set reminders to do things (alarm on phone etc).

[@Reddog022]

Hey this is being very helpful so far. I l don't know uf i do have adhd since i haven't diagnosed and i dont want to asume till then, but still this is just so helpful for me, specially on the motivation and the focusing part, and above all, to see that even if I do have it, it ain't so big deal, i can live a normal life and better those constant bothering flaws, and maybeeee the things that i cant seem to work out since for ever (like lack organization on school work, getting on time anywhere and wait for a proyects deadline to work on it) are maybe not so my fault, so its okay if i inplement extra tips and strategies...and also I if seek help from other people, maybe its just I thing that I cant fix for myself and on a traditional way with the comun advice, and I need to figure out different and weird solutions to get through life, even if I get weird stares from others. Thank you a lot for sharing this info, I would've never get it if it wasn't here and for free, god bless you Dr. This is real help for me, thanks♡♡♡♡

[@rosie1141]

Can you acquire adhd symptoms from taking medication for adhd, if you were never tested? A friend was given adderall to help with focus but never tested. Now, she is worse with focus, can't finish ANYTHING, all over the place, loses herself in her thoughts, etc.

[@50toinfinityatleast]

Recovery though????

Same, I was like: Excuse me? I'm not "sick".

Glad it helped!

[@spunkiQT]

Lmao @ me watching all these videos to help ppl with adhd after my therapist told me I probably don't hav enough symptoms to qualify for a full diagnosis... But actually even if I don't, a lot of strategies being given seem like they might really help. If I can do something to help myself, that's empowering, ok?!? OK!

Mine is 136 also it is not a deficit we are neurodivergent. I’m also bipolar

[@hanskraut2018]

Tryvialising adhd its saying ur too dumb just get strategys to get better, its like telling depressed suicidal people just go to the beach, listen to music get a friend to do fun stuff, try to train to be thinking positive. I would say this is a attack at the mental health funding. Adhd is not taken seriously since there are many idiots that get trown in with the serious cases. Its like the people saying they are deaply depressed while still runing a life and having some interessts more than they lay on the floor

[@DocSnipes]

The beginning of the video talks about how the brains of people with ADHD operate differently and traditional strategies often do not work. Additionally, many adults who are newly diagnosed do not have many of these strategies, so it is helpful to have something tangible they can try to start helping them feel more empowered.

[@Flixy282]

Medication for almost any mental health issue is like being thrown a ladder when you are at the bottom of a deep well. Strategies like these help you climb it. This isn’t trivialising anything, it’s giving people who are ready to start climbing that ladder, the tools they need. If you are still trapped in the dark and can’t see up, well then this just isn’t the video for you yet.

[@Dancestar1981]

@@Flixy282 medication tends to be more useful when you’re younger and your brain still hasn’t matured

[@sharonoddlyenough]

@@Dancestar1981 it still helps a lot if people. For example, Rick Green was diagnosed at 47, and he had the good fortune that the first med he tried helped immediately.

[@susanfischer6155]

How frequently are those who Claim ADHD really narcissists

[@DocSnipes]

Thanks for watching.

[@jennywhite285]

Wow. I don’t think it would be very common for a narcissist to claim having a disorder. That’s what the last d stands for. People with adhd are often misunderstood as being selfish, because of the interrupting and talking about things of personal interest, and we do do this, but it definitely doesn’t mean we think we are more important or better than others, it’s just linked to the way our brains work. Empathy is not lacking in those with adhd, just the ability to express it in a neurotypical manner.

[@David-rs2fm]

Clearly you werent addressing people with ADHD, because I just opened the video, saw how long it was and just felt so drained physically and mentally.

[@DocSnipes]

Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.

[@Dancestar1981]

A lot of these so called motivational prompts unable to perform

[@therabbithat]

i like the categories of prompts rather than the prompts themselves. "create urgency" is a category, there are lots of ways to do that, probably none of them will last very long but you can keep finding new ones. It's so usual for me that something works fantastically, once and only once. Pomodoros are a good one for creating urgency. I used to hold my pee when I was a kid to create urgency, oh my god was that a bad idea, don't do that ha ha.
