I'm someone who has ADHD and ASD and thanks to early intervention I was able to manage and cope with it for the most part, and medication management (methylphenidate for my adhd) just made it easier to live with over time

[@liqhtraise8132]

Thank you Rhesus Medicine. I've been told I had, (at the time of diagnosis,) ADD my entire life, and it has almost ruined my life. I am just finally starting to take it seriously, do my homework, and truly understand what has been undermining my entire existence.

[@rogermoore8048]

I understand you, I have felt this way.

[@RichardPrice-m6m]

I'm trying to get a diagnosis because I think I've had this all my life. It ruined some of my school life and now I can't properly hold down a job or do anything I enjoy. 31 years old now.

[@RichardPrice-m6m]

I had no idea I likely have this until recently. And it really HAS ruined my life. Causing me to drop out of Uni and have difficulty finding and keeping jobs. I have mixed feelings on getting a diagnosis because it doesn't feel good to have a "defective" label. Saying that though, getting a label means I know what's going on and I can be treated for it. So those are the advantages and I kind of REALLY need to have it treated.

As a child I was hyper, school was so boring and I used to doodle all day, but I was shy and not at all disruptive. Now at 45, I’m not at all hyper, but do have trouble relaxing, I feel it’s a waste of my time reading a book or watching a boring film, although I could watch game of thrones and the walking dead because they were interesting. I’m not a big talker, but I do occasionally interrupt people, mainly because I’m not sure about the timing of how to join in the conversation. I listen to the same songs on a loop and can be forgetful at times. When my husband talks about his day, I often zone out and start daydreaming. I like to spend time alone and don’t really look forward to anything which others probably do, ie holidays, birthdays, nights out etc. But do look forward to the time they’ll be over so I can try and relax again. I pretend to look forward to them, but that’s just masking. I’ve basically lived a lie and I don’t really know who I am underneath the mask! Is it too late to change, or would changing be damaging at this stage?

If you see this comment, listen to your heart, it may take some time to hear or feel what it says, even years, but you will one day understand it and make the right decision.

[@Caramel1806]

I object to the term "careless mistakes". That literally implies that you make mistakes because you don't care. That is not the case. A mistake is a mistake. It doesn't have to be careless. I have ALWAYS hated that term.

[@luisgonzales5439]

I just realized I have that I got everything it says i be thinking I'm just crazy and gotta act better but I cant

I'm watching this, but I'm getting out of focus. 😂😂😂 Goodluck with that. Try to rewatch or replay it again. 😂

[@LukeBrown6669]

The worst part for me is feeling like an idiot compared to my peers …. I was diagnosed in middle school but always assumed it was BS because I was unaware of mental health at the time…. I still consider skepticism but most symptoms seem to line up

[@enochodu8816]

I’m not even sure if I have adhd but the first symptom in attentiveness fits me exactly and it’s not new even since I was in elementary my parents always got complaints abt me being distractive and I’m always forgetful and losing stuff

[@mooncatandberyl5372]

you are wrong, you have it for life, no one grows out of it as an adult, it still persists into adulthood, some adults develop better coping skills, but they still have it. get the facts right befoe you make medical based information videos

[@lordsonspokenenglishacadem3898]

Good

[@yesitsme565]

True

[@waziharahman24]

I think he meant u learn to mask it after a while

[@mooncatandberyl5372]

​@@waziharahman24 but that is not what he said, not having a condition anymore is very different from learning skills to cope with one or two symptoms of a condition that you have for life, it is wrong to spread dis informationr in a medicaly informativel video that thousands or millions of people will watch and believe.

[@redbarron3695]

I’m thinking I have this bc I can finish watching the video fast enough

[@akadopeboi]

I dont understand I have the attention one, where its hard for me to not get super tired after say, ready a super boring text book for even 10 min. But the emotional regulation is the complete opposite when things are going down around me and chaos pops up and needs to be handled. Its like time slows down, or maybe even finally is moving at the perfect pace. While people are freaking out over something - right fully - I to should be freaking out over, like say doing CPR on a patient. Its like my mind is finally Clear and I can focus. My treatments are on point and I'm soo calm. Something like Vyvanse allows me to Focus on extremely boring topics and really push my scope of practice to the next level as I digest and log information without being super tired about it. Its almost like unless the world is falling apart around me, its just to boring to focus lols.

I always thought it was a gift till i hit my late 30s

[@ThatSniperBirdy]

What happened then

[@wendyhannan2454]

I don’t think it’s ever a gift, Its hard work.

[@carlospomares3225]

Could you tell us why did you think it was a gift?

[@chumlee9562]

@@carlospomares3225 i always thought i was the smartest person in the room. It always felt i knew more about everything. Memorizing names, numbers, birthdates, Anniversaries, the multiplication table, Directions home or to work, Which direction east west north and south is; Was hard for everyone.... I had no idea I had adhd, I'm not the type to bounce of the walls. I always felt i was lacking energy and became pretty much immune to sugar and caffeine .... I always thought I Was a Genius that ended up doing drugs and dropping out of high school. I thought when i hyperfocused, It was dedication and patience. Now I realize i'm not the smartest person in the room. I Hyperfocus On specific subjects And ignore Everything else. Now notice What hyperfocus even is, And how I hyperfocus on youtube about the most stupid s***. How I ignore my family and friends, And that's why I have no friends. Not because i'm too smart for everyone. But Because i'm a d********. I dropped out of high school because I was always constantly daydreaming And have terrible social anxiety. And I ended up on drugs because of my Constant need of dopamine

Great video. If anyone out there with ADHD has done Brainsway TMS for depression, I would be interested in knowing the effect-or lack thereof-it had on their ADHD. (The short-term effects, that is; I don't think it has any lasting / long-term effects.)

[@abdoolidiots]

I was almost really thinking I have ADHD(since 2017) until I went to psychiatrist for proper diagnosis... its depression she said. uhhhhh Like after given antidepressants... I could feel like something was lifted off my shoulders. Sooooo goood. I finally got motivated.... seriously i had stopped over thinking and I felt like I was getting more aware in my surroundings than usual. which I fely due to anxiety I feel a bit off. i do have these adhd symptoms but I couldnt agree with the forgetting things after taking the meds. in fact after having meds I could remember so much from the past which was cool. I also had been soo calm , I havent even thought of anything bad in weeks... I wish these meds were given to me a long time ago😂😂😂

[@tashan4932]

im trying to understand my boyfriend better yet i caught myself zoning out and going on my phone more than a few times just on this video. however i do not have ADHD although i feel if you put in enough effort, you can slowly change that, or maybe its just growing up. you have to be careful not to self-diagnose. my boyfriend can make an effort to put his attention on something even if its hard, you cant use it as an excuse. im still trying to understand him better every day and be caring

Give them a special school for their education. This is not easy matter. They are patients

[@trillykayembe4077]

You really don’t need a special school for this unless it’s incredibly severe and really that justified…I have inattentive adhd and it has impacted my life significantly. I didn’t get diagnosed until 8 months ago at age 25. But I still passed my GCSEs, got the highest marks for my course at college and I was getting 1st class marks for some of my assignments at university in my nursing degree and I had no reasonable adjustments, medication or extra support for that. “They” are not patients, they’re not unwell or indifferent to you. People with ADHD are human beings with high capabilities and their own gifts. It’s uncomfortable the way you’re saying “Give them” as if people with adhd are a group of aliens or something😂 we’re all individual with our own individual needs for support, reasonable adjustments and for some people medication…

[@Andrea-ue2uw]

Well Im 52 and didnt grow out of it…I have ADD not sure why ADD and ADHD are seen as the same cause they are two different things

[@vertical8infinity]

My symptoms are worse at 47 . Far worse

[@FilipMikulic-u7d]

People will self-diagnose themselves, I am not saying that making medical videos is bad but some perfectly normal people will think that they have ADHD from this, let the doctors do the work, do not self-diagnose yourself, your attention and focus problems are maybe the result of 4 hours of Tik Tok every day, change what you can and do not say that your problems are the result of disease you are born with altho that is maybe true, it will not help you.

[@FilipMikulic-u7d]

This comment is not meant to insult ADHD people, but rather to not self-diagnose.

[@charleshines2142]

While women are more likely to experience certain things we must be very careful not to make those things stereotypes of women. If that happened some people would not get the help they really need or they might feel stigmatized. Also by not looking for help they might also eventually suffer from depression. I don't want people to get confused and say that someone is full of $hit and they don't suffer from that because of wrongly considering it a female problem. They do have various problems that really just affect them. It is just that various mental problems are experienced by men also

[@JoeMotionVideos82]

Thank you for posting this video. I have a good friend at work with ADHD. I've studied about it in the DSM5, but hearing it explained helped much. I am constantly and patiently reminding her to stay on task or even get started on work. Please post more about this topic. I've even heard some ADHD suffers say that caffeine calms them down down. I know that caffeine is a stimulant and a Xanthene. Does it work on the same neurotransmitters neurotransmitters as three aforementioned drugs?
