Discovered that I had adhd when I was about 6 or 7 and my mom got me prescribed to medication. When I started visiting my dad, he thought it was complete non sense and demanded that I stoped taking the medication. Years later when I was in high school I remember being extremely active & wanting to over achieve. I tried taking AP physics, honors Calculus, & AP English. Turned out I had a hard time studying and doing school work compared to my peers,so I concluded that I was simply just not as bright as the other kids. Later on after senior year of HS I become extremely depressed and just couldn't understand how my head worked. I thought there was just a million things I was doing wrong and came down on myself really hard. Now I realise that I've been hating my self because I've never understood myself.

30:10 It's a bit condescending that the interviewer frames the only two kinds of adult patients as either "having true ADHD" or "just someone trying to get pills." What about the many misdiagnosed patients who are genuinely seeking help? Is there no third option where adults seeking psychiatric care are capable of responsibility? This quickness to label people seeking medical treatment as "just trying to get pills" is dangerous and is no doubt part of the reason why so many adults with ADHD are afraid to get help. It's also why so many adults get stuck and suffer for years from misdiagnoses - because any self-driven attempts to correct the diagnosis are seen as an effort to get drugs. I appreciate that Dr. Manos immediately addresses this in his response to her question.

[@M.N.Baxter]

She’s likely a pessimist and does not understand how common this strain of human species is, just like other species of evaluation no two people are the same sex, skin, brain, etc. Like he said we are of a old specie that derived from Africa. Figuring that are type of species of human where the ones that developed a lot of what we have today merely because the way we processes things. In todays age we are a species that may seem useless merely because we do not fit in a cogent form as the “normal” more like average beings of are time. Just a thought

[@karachambers5087]

Probably one of the best discussions/explanations of ADHD I have seen so far. The information/knowledge VS the mythology surrounding ADHD (despite the clinical data that has been accessible for decades) is rife even in DR's and medical practitioners. The NICE guidelines 2018 make it incredibly difficult to see a consultant as an adult even if you have been statemented as a child. Waiting lists tend to sit at around 3+ years (and i'm being kind there). Nothing raises your position on that list and first line (GPs), primary MH and secondary MH teams can only prescribe within their own remits [no fault of their own] which are very often treatments that are not recommended for someone with ADHD i.e. Antipsychotics, or drugs that can produce antagonistic results with dopaminergic and norepinephine reception. Where these drugs can help with the potential side effects of your ADHD symptoms they can also aggravate them over time. Be aware of this if you're seeking help. I'm not a Doctor and you should FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR'S advice. But do your research and ask questions. Thank you for posting this video. ADHD is so hard to explain to people, especially when you are explaining 'yourself'.

@@tortoisecamera congratulations, I remember the feeling of finally knowing and how much more intuitive and more intrested in the diagnosis I was. It was definitely a eureka moment. Unfortunately I have not been able to confirm or deny the current diagnosis of being bi-polar or not and just adhd with the other side just being a more intense depression, but I'm not exactly sad. But more cumbersome? That's way to positive I think, really don't know the definition and dare not get lost looking it up and taking another year on this comment 😀 😄 😊 but I go to a mindset where I just lay in bed and I have no interest in doing anything for days sometimes. I'm not looking to deeply into it considering the past year though. But I've become very much a different person when it come to the way I view mental health and people with mental illness for certain. Good luck, find a routine and not a goal/reason, purpose whatever it may be that's to easily achieved 😉 the routine is a thing I struggle with the most still daily and I get lost on a temporary purpose to easily without structure. So easy to say.

[@nancykowal7544]

I was diagnosed with Adhd at 40 (12 years ago) and this is the first time I hear a professional explain so good and so spot on how it feels to be an adult with adhd. I'm from Belgium and here people and even professional still do not get it. They still think it is overdiagnosed and not really that difficult to live with. They are so wrong. Every day is hard work. As the doctor says, always super enthusiastic and fully committed until it gets a task or boring.

[@goldHydrangeas]

WoW so we discovered it same time.. I’m around 40 and just found this video and I was at wits end with what I have. I’ve been in denial like the rest of society about it being nothing or shameful to have?

[@purity4all]

I do think it’s over diagnosed and the fact that so many people aren’t having that hard of a time but have a diagnosis is part of the reason so many people don’t think it’s that big of a deal to live with.

[@micasa50]

3rd year medical student with adhd who got his diagnosis as an adult here. This is one of the best talks on adhd out there. The guest here mentioned how some people who come to him mentioned their struggle and it really saddens me because I understand exactly how they feel. The potential in us is literally not materialized to its maximum when you look at the big picture. Feeling of always running out of time on time sensitive matters even though your brain feels like it is traveling at the speed of light in infinite directions. A person with adhd can spend hours with their thoughts but feeling like time went by really fast. There are little things that affect us daily, like not remembering directions, taking wrong turns, not remembering peoples names, typing something but you notice there is a word missing here and there. Your brain is functioning at a level that your body can not keep up with it or execute a function in time. The feeling of being a jack of all trades but master of none. The daily struggle is real, like personally I am affected by it so much that I really dont know which specialty to chose because I am worried I will end up hurting someone if I forget something due to just how my brain operates. My biggest struggle is when I have to chart something during patient encounters because my brain is literally firing in all directions and i have to really focus on one thing at a time in order to complete it. When patient tells me their symptoms, I really have to focus on writing it down and during that time my brain loses train of thought and end up not asking the right questions. Your brain is always in a hurry and you really have to slow yourself down in order to achieve something. When I try not to write anything down during the patient encounter, my thought process is more clear and the encounter more natural and smooth. But when you try to chart it after the encounter, either I will miss something or it will take me time to recall everything and chart it. When I have to present patient encounter to my attending, I am so all over the place in my presentation that I look like a dumbass and sometimes forget to mention important things that I did ask.

[@thepaintedlady4637]

Problem with diagnosis - if there is a 'ruling out' stage, ie: patient also has signs of anxiety or depression. It is far more likely that women with ADHD will be misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety, and be put through the ringer with medications that never work. That is a big problem. We should be just as wary with these other so-called diagnoses because making a mistake could lead absolute torture with trialing other meds only to find they don't work, ever increasing doses etc... Just ridiculous. If all the symptoms are present, why not just trial somebody for a week on ADHD meds, at least the person won't get stuck/dependent on them like they would with antidepressants. If they work, the person will see the benefits immediately, vs. antidepressants that require at least 6 weeks. Path of less harm, in my view.

We must adapt to our current environment/situation/reality, positively speaking about uncontrollable circumstances/life style of course.

[@donbarzinitut]

This is why being an ADHD person I'm obsessed with Marxism lol.

[@anamariaenamoradomartinez8750]

Very informative, Thank you.

[@aaymathebest4705]

Best lectures and best programme of you tube

[@hanekochan]

Amazing, so informative without being overwelming, like I happen to found in other videos. Thanks for this Cleveland Clinic and Dr Manos

[@overimagination2812]

I have borderline and adhd.... the bigger problem is the adhd.. my executive functioning is an enemy... if I enjoy something I can do it for days or YEARS non-stop.. but the minute it becomes mundane/boring/predictable... it can take me months to get around to a five minute task. Its torture. The adhd pills work wonders but they are so effective I end up taking too many and staying awake for days... my executive functioning is not strong enough to stop. So I get a few good days every few weeks. Its still better than none.

[@maryblue75]

There is something you didn’t mention that goes along with the slowing down mechanism of mindfulness: asmr videos. The moment someone realises that the same way we direct attention to the sound in an asmr video, we can do it in real life, is the moment you understand how to control the focus and the default mode and all… I think asmr is an incredible tool!

[@cjennings6179]

Interesting! Answers several questions makes Sense . Good. Thanks SO MUCH!! 😆

[@M14r5z9]

I’ve always thought that if things go crazy, you’ll want to stick with me. I can sense trouble, and react.

[@lorismithokon9028]

It's a strength. During any disaster, you and I will manage the situation well.

[@hektorm2306]

Listened to everything while multi tasking on my phone. Paying bills, researching, looking up stocks, txting, booking a flight, and of course planning out my day. I’m on Biphentin. Ps I love blue food dye !

[@paulgent9203]

I like this guy. Soon as I made a mistake my mother would put fear in me. It didn’t work, to everybody s detriment

[@metsot]

I can relate

[@doablefilms9380]

thank you Dr. Manos, this is a great description of what ADHD is

[@cjennings6179]

PTSD. Life TRAUMAS & OVERWORKED, EXCESSIVE RESPONSIBILITIES IN EARLY or mid 20s age. Brain symptoms RETURN TO scattered thoughts. Disordered.

[@antoniod]

I was one of Dr. Ross Greene's "Explosive Children", and I probably had ADHD. But it was at it's worst(temper tantrums)years before anybody knew what it was!

[@drewmoody2187]

I've had ADHD, depression, diabetes and starved all at the same time!!!!!!!!!

[@abu0010ify]

BRILLIANT VIDEO!

[@weneedtobebetter7807]

I made it to 2:41 before looking at the comments and opening another tab. lol

[@cheryldueck318]

30 seconds to start reading the comments while listening 😂

[@YOUAreTheSecretToLife]

I need this man's help. He gets it! And after going 32 years misdiagnosed before finally getting to ADHD, I can't find one single person who gets it to help me. My life is melting down around me. It's affecting my children. My purpose was to end the poverty and mental health crisis cycles for my kids! I'm only making it worse, knowing I am, not knowing what to do. Paralyzed watching it all burn down. The mask is no longer able to be used for more than a very fast grocery run, if that.

[@aprilsworld9562]

This video was so insightful. I really appreciate this.

[@elizafeller8915]

Anyone on here from the UK and been diagnosed as an adult? I’m really struggling with all of my symptoms. It is affecting my work, home life, relationships and just general ability to achieve anything. I’ve struggled like this since I can remember. Now I feel I finally have an answer, but even being able to see someone fir a diagnosis in the UK I’ve been told is a MINIMUM 2 year wait. I’m looking to go private, but can’t really afford it. Any advice?

[@redcheeks12]

Amazing video that touches on adhd to a tee

[@redcheeks12]

The way he responds and then answers is unbelievable.

[@Marc-zi4vg]

so instead of the "great engine,shit brakes" analogy. a more accurate analogy is VTEC, nothing on low "im not interested revs" but goes batshit crazy when the "i'm interested" VTEC Kicks in.

[@attheranch873]

Marc YES!

[@joppiseni3710]

When the video ended, I could only recall the last 5 minutes of it, hmmm😂😂😂

[@mahanyea4014]

Adhd is a gift and a curse. I was affected so much that I developed the worst depression trying to end my life twice as a 14 year old kid. Knowing how smart you actually are and not being able to show it. being unable to keep relationships ending up alone again and again. feeling unloved and numb. And the fact that no one knew in my home about it made it so much worse for me. Now that Im learning how to use my gifts and makes me feel so much better..

[@barbaraletterly4884]

I am a mental health therapist diagnosed with ADHD as an adult after I already entered the field. I was diagnosed by a neurologist who I continue to see every six months. Of my siblings, one acknowledges I have ADHD because she has it too. My other two siblings think I’m just lazy. I have two bachelor degrees and two master’s degrees. I also have two jobs and help to take care of my elderly mother. But I’m lazy??? Smh. I’ve realized I’m never going to convince them otherwise.

[@jessicalt4121]

Your siblings are annoying. Tell them to be as lazy as you are, and take care of mom. I get it though.

[@husseinfatma]

we accept we all are unique .So please allow your attention be all over the place but do not hate yourself .your different and thats what makes you special

[@bianca4829]

Counseling doesn’t work for people with ADHD because we’re super impulsive. We act in the moment lol

[@Dylan-wj3dr]

i wish i remembered any of this

[@ashace6092]

omg yrsssss

[@stephaniegrable2612]

Do you have memory problems, too?!! Mine in nearly non existent

[@M14r5z9]

I was born in 1955. No cellphone, etc. ADHD.

[@metsot]

Less distractions ..not a lot of awareness.

[@Godlessrain]

Man... When he talks about the young man who felt stupid and the who thought she just couldn’t do things, hit so hard. I remember thinking how school just wasn’t for me, that I wasn’t smart, that I was lazy and forgetful POS. Being diagnosed recently at 29, things just finally make sense.

[@attheranch873]

Tip: use 1.25 speed 😀

[@albertoi.morales5761]

Very informative 👍

[@michaelsingh5418]

Awesome video. Please keep up the good work!

[@thefly7123]

Min 32:10 Interesting they prefer underdiagnose ADHD and risk to have a higher school failure.. we say about that in Spanish . "bread today, hunger tomorrow"... this talk is very good, stopping at details of the matter in different situations and with a diferent insight. thank you for sharing.

[@Odin-Must-Dy]

This my first time really understanding AdHD , l m here because my 13 yr old daughter has it .but she never lived with me until now during this pandemic and her having to do online schooling...omg l feel so bad for being so hard and thinking she is another level of stupid.. I m here for help understanding her because she is failing school and not getting on her self hygiene and such for help I must say l m sorry to her and everyone with this for not understanding you before

[@laz2571]

Wuaoo yeaaa that is exactly what I have... I am an ADHD patient since I was 8 years old

[@Mac-hl8jq]

CHANGE SPEED TO 1.5 other wise you'll struggle to watch this!! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@pokemongurlz]

This isnt accurate to all people with adhd imo. Me for example: I usually don't pay attention to what I should be because I'm paying attention to NOTHING. Not everything.

[@lolakleedorfer6502]

I know that one. However, I'd say it's the same thing as the video is describing, but reversed. I'm not paying attention to everything around me, buy everything in my head. So the mechanism is the same, just the direction is different. That's at least what it's like for me.

[@attheranch873]

pokemongurlz but are you paying attention to what’s in your head?

[@pokemongurlz]

@@attheranch873 Sometimes. But a lot of times it's literally just fogginess/nothingness. Like when I'm not paying attention it isnt usually because I'm thinking about other things. I'm just tuned out

[@donbarzinitut]

@@lolakleedorfer6502 That's why I can't work.

[@RubyTwilite]

There is a Simpsons episode where someone is speaking at length, very seriously to Homer. He looks straight ahead and the thought bubble shows 'Steamboat Willy'

[@DeepSeaLugia]

23:08 This is me right now. My brain keeps being reminded of the broken promises I made to myself. I stopped paying attention until I hit 35:55, A bit too relatable

[@bradleymiller437]

There was nothing there until 20-25. It was like the switch flipped and I presented with every single symptom except hyperactivity. I'm suffering.

[@voiceglobalinc.6731]

So so informative. So its basically like trying to tame a wild horse

[@sirprize5191]

I got completely and entirely lost in my own thought and memory chain while listening at 11:20. So strange to realize yourself so suddenly, like "what the heck I was just listening to the damn video, how did I get here" lul
