What You Need To Know about ADHD

Did you know that ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions, affecting millions worldwide? Despite growing awareness, many misconceptions and lesser-known facts about ADHD continue to shape how we understand, diagnose, and manage it.
In this video, we dive deep into ADHD to uncover the overlooked aspects, from its persistence into adulthood to the gender differences in diagnosis, and even the positive traits often associated with it. Our goal is to challenge misconceptions, promote understanding, and provide valuable insights into this complex condition.
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
🌟 ADHD isn’t just a childhood disorder-it often continues into adulthood.
🌟 Gender biases in diagnosis mean many girls and women are underdiagnosed.
🌟 ADHD impacts more than attention, affecting executive functions, emotional regulation, and daily life.
🌟 The role of genetics and neurobiology in ADHD development.
🌟 How ADHD overlaps with other conditions, complicating diagnosis.
🌟 Positive traits of ADHD, like creativity, resilience, and adaptability.
Why It Matters:
By fostering a more nuanced understanding of ADHD, we can break the stigma, support those affected, and celebrate their unique strengths. Whether you’re navigating ADHD yourself or trying to support a loved one, this video offers practical insights to help.
Let’s Hear from You:

I've been considering getting diagnosed for years now. As a woman with an excruciating amount of ADHD symptoms it's been a hard battle against all the pre-existing stereotypes around the disorder. I was told by my parents I couldn't possibly have the disorder because I did well in school, even though I was a chronic procrastinator and relied heavily on late work acceptance. It's really wrecked my confidence in myself to identify issues in my life, thank you for spreading awareness and reminding me to keep fighting for myself and my health

[@snowtale7776]

Yeah, the lack of support or attention one of trust could give you only deepens the problem and could even lead to others, makes you think, maybe it could be better if they just said something like “if you say so, let’s get it checked” (I don’t know your parents I’m just saying it out of what you wrote down)

[@Salone_FD]

I was one of the lucky few girls in the 90s who was diagnosed. My mother, who paid attention to what the doctors told her-- refused to put me on medication. She saw what happened to all the kids who were on medication during that time and didn't want me to join them. So she shredded all of the paperwork and instead worked tooth and nail to help me become productive. I still have trouble with things but I have never felt like I needed to be treated differently. I can do everything everyone else does, I just need to take a slightly different approach. It has actually been a benefit in a lot of aspects of my career choice because not everyone can be happy for hours on end and willing to help everyone for hours on end. Patience is oddly a super skill when I'm literally able to entertain myself with just helping someone and thinking of everything I could do. :) I guess my point is, I don't see why we should feel bad for not thinking the same as everyone else

[@BrassDragonLP]

I would definitely argue ADHD causes comorbidities like depression and anxiety, at least for me. Knowing I'm only a fraction of the person I should/want be because my brain is simply wired differently has nearly caused me to do serious self-harm in the past. Medication has been life changing. Edit: Context, I'm doing alright currently

That first fact really got to me, I don't have ADHD and figured out what my symptoms were from something else a while ago but before that I was almost 100 percent sure I had ADHD, however when I went to talk about it to a doctor they said if I didn't have 2 symptoms since 12 I don't have it, yet I was experiencing these symptoms in my early 13th year... (And I got seen at 15) So I felt very unheard... And for 4 more years I struggled with these symptoms, forcing myself to say I don't have ADHD, after finally finding confidence in myself to say "yes there is something wrong!" I went back to the doctor and I finally know what was wrong and it wasn't ADHD, but still feeling unheard or like your story isn't valid because of your age is so soooo sad and annoying and made me go another 4 years in confusion thinking nothing was wrong and that I was just weird for not knowing how to handle my symptoms. (No one asked I know but it ended up being hyperacusis which was flaring up because of high anxiety lol, Psyc2go really really helped me with a lot of their coping videos and I love this channel!!!) ❤❤❤

I was diagnosed with Adhd when i was 8 now im 16 and it got weaker ye older i got. With 15 i already didnt need any medication anymore, my symptomps were hyperactivity with a little touch of impulsivity, just a little touch. How it affected me? I have more energy so i can wake pretty good up in the morning and one of the biggest things... i just find some things and a specific type of humor very funny, i can laugh easier than others and feel easier pretty happy. Learning is not a big Problem anymore, a tip from my side for learning is, set a timer to 20-15 minutes of learning and then have 5 min of free time, after that start the 15-20 min timer again, do this till you are finished😊. In my Opinion, if i would not have ADHD my live would be pretty boring, i hope the most of you can relate, AND REMEMBRE, YOU 🫵 ARE NOT ALONE. Greetings from Germany :)

[@anuruksuriyaarachchi3988]

Okay, here's how this resonates with me. 1. I'm really bad at time management and I often fail doing my assignments. 2. No, I was really in low mood feeling so depressed and hated myself but now it's getting better. Somehow, when I get so anxious. I was given a mood stabilizer and an anti-psychotic too. 3. Is it really dependent on gender? I mean, there're already 7 genders but somehow, there's a single teacher who actually emotionally abused me claimed that I've hyperactivity but except for that the truth is I really wasn't but inattentiveness is extreme which could be a result of Anxiety or Depression too which necessarily doesn't indicate anything specific to ADHD even though it can be a part of ADHD. Wrong? Then explain why, I really wanna know. 4. I'm impulsive but not aggressive. I mean, this wasn't actually happened in the climax of my anxiety(diagnosed with OCD.), emotional dysregulation, hell yeah! I've that in a considerable degree and I appear weird. 5. I've faced significant atrocities for not being punctual. I mean it can range from 10 - 50 minutes somehow, I almost always faced those. When going to school, it's by 1-5 minutes usually which is relatively closer than the university but I was punished for that too. I fail to come to the assembly on time and when I was small, I was usually punished with corporal punishment. Somehow, faced bullying where any action wasn't taken against that. 6. 7. I get medications included for attention but I avoid typing it as KZbin flags, it's none of these, something different but somehow, I'm not under therapy and I don't feel bad about it because they're not addressing my actual issues related to self-harm and everything. In fact, 2 out of 3 made me uncomfortable and angrier and the other one always attributed my talents to one of the previous diagnosis named ASD. 8. Really? Creative but ...... 9. Normally, there're many people who's angry getting chances of any kind. I mean, especially me.

I was diagnosed this year, aged 29. I'm a woman and have combined ADHD, scoring 17/18 out of the diagnostic questions. I was diagnosed autistic aged 21, but always had a gut feeling was still "missing". Still coming to terms with the ADHD as it's seemingly made my job/work and life more difficult.

[@fabienneclavier5984]

I don't know if there are studies about it but adhd can start later in life as well. I am in my early 50s, never had issues as a child or teen, but this past decade or so, it has changed. I thought it was just perimenopause symptoms, but no: adhd 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@KAM_1454]

20 year old male. I got tested a bit ago and they came back as on the line, but normal, but the symptoms have worsened since. My GP still gave me a diagnosis later on due to the severity of my worsening symptoms but for some reason I just can't accept if I have it. Despite all these symptoms describing me to a tee I just refuse to believe it's adhd for some reason. I could swear this is all just normal. The medications don't work the way people say they're supposed to so that also just deepens my odd belief that I just don't have it. along with the previous negative test result. Idk what that's all about.

"Executive function deficit" gets a quick pass at around the three minute mark or so.

I think it would have been better to slow down at around that point for a slightly deeper explanation.

[@DoomieTheFool]

I *Heavily* dislike medication for ADHD, I had to take it as a child to function "properly" due to symptons, and the long term effects from what i know vary, but they usually ended up making me very emotionally detached or emotionless, or as my parents said "not like yourself". (Not in a rude way, in a way that they noticed "somethings wrong with doomie." So long term, theyre somewhat bad and I was told i could quit them after it was noticed by my parents.

[@commander.saavik]

Keep pushing. It may or may not be ADHD, but your struggles are valid and you deserve to be heard, assessed, and supported. Getting good grades has nothing to do with having or not having ADHD, and if you're told you don't seem to be struggling it's because those around you don't want to see it. Keep pushing for evaluation. Even if it seems like nobody is listening, keep advocating for yourself. Your struggles are real and you deserve support regardless of official diagnoses.

ADHD often co-occurs with autism too but it seems that autism is too scary for the general public to be mentioned. Here is what you can easily find on any research: "Research suggests that 50 to 70% of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Conversely, 20 to 50% of children with ADHD also meet the criteria for autism."

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

No. It is not 60% of people who had it as a child who experience adhd as an adult. It's 100%. It's just that the ADHD symptoms become masked, because others mistake them for childishness, laziness, poor work ethic, or lack of moral character. And so Adults with ADHD will self report that they have outgrown the problems of their childhood, when really, the symptoms persist or worsen, but their strategies for coping (which may be healthy or unhealthy) have become a part of their psyche. Nobody ever stops having ADHD. They are just shamed into hiding their symptoms, sometimes so deeply that they fool themselves. ADHD is a neurotype, and it is genetic. You cannot prevent a child from having it by how you raise them, and you cannot cure it with medication. The only true path forward is to recognize how one third of the populations nervous system is motivated by different factors than the rest, and for society and culture to accept that these neurological differences are not a choice, and that they imbue the person with both cognitive benefits and cognitive defects. Treating ADHD with medication is more or less giving people chemicals that make their brain work more like a neurotypical brain so that they can function within the framework of society which is set up for people who find calculus hard but find stocking a pantry easy, that find painting their house hard but find vacuuming easy. That find challenging things hard and boring things easy. But when you have ADHD, challenging things are easy and simple things are impossible, because you do not experience the flow of time and your working memory only has 1 byte of storage. When you see a second chore that has to be done while doing a 1st chore, you will either forget you are doing the first chore and leave the trash bag in the middle of the room, or you will ignore the 2nd chore and forget to come back to it. Your best day with ADHD is when you find a problem so interesting that nothing distracts you from it. Not even the need to use the toilet. Because those are the days you do great things that earn the admiration of others.

So I like someone a crush and what if I look at them but they are already looking at me we make eye contact but then look away

I'd like to know more about autism

I swear I have ADHD but I try to talk or give a hint to my mom she’s like no you don’t have it and he compares me a female to my cousin I MALE that has actual ADHD but I also learned that there’s different types of ADHD what is that they’re very hyper and the other one is there or not organizing this track of time very easily they don’t remember stuff they’re always thinking which literally describes me and I was like no you don’t have a ADHD

5:33 luz noceda in an adhd video very fitting 🥹🥹

[@Esteban_Abarca]

That caught me off guard. Personally, I find Luz to be a child after my own heart. She has helped me heal and come to terms with my Nero-divergent nature in recent years.

@@Esteban_Abarca im pretty sure dana (creator of the owl house) confirmed luz has ADHD!! i personally find her super relatable and i see myself in her so i agree with you

I miss the soft, gentle and encouraging female voice... I had to rewind a few times because the speaker is going to fast. I also feel the speaker is lacking something i cannot quite put my finger on.. maybe i just miss the old sweet and comforting female voice EDIT: It sounds like he is just reading off a script (which im sure he is) .. doesnt come across as personable to me

[@anonymouspig992]

I know what your talking about, I know it’s probably no one else’s fault but I kinda miss her comforting voice

I hate ADHD it’s ruining my life 😢. I can’t even be on any social media because I care to much about what others will think of me. I have no friends irl and I’m so akward around people. I have no “aura”.

Update over my mentality: I found out that I have Catatonic Schizophrenia thanks to Psych, I am now totally positive because I didn't fight with anyone even though they broke my something.

This series of comments is now gonna be about my personal life and recovery from Catatonia/Catatonic Schizophrenia. About school, I got a little freaky, grabbing other girls' arms(not with friendly intent), trying to take from other girls, etc. I actually grabbed the girl's arm who I took as my own sister for quite some time without realizing. When she said "get your hand off me" I then realized that I am holding her arm. I also started protecting her a little. I actually cursed myself for being such a creep even though I know that she didn't thick of it like I wanted her romantically. I don't say that I don't have depression because I still curse myself of guilt I am not responsible for. I am still quite positive right now because I overcame my anger issues. I don't wanna talk about my dreams because I don't get them anymore. I have a controversial thing to share... You psychologists remember the time I had a dream in which I was in McDonald's ordering a Bottle Of Prime and a Big Mac? If yes, you might be wondering why in the world did I order a Bottle Of Prime? Now here is where the controversial thing is. Some time before sleeping I had listened to KSI's song 'Thick Of It' and complimented it in every way possible (not just to stop the controversy but also cause I liked the song). This might lead to a controversy of people saying that I have a very bad taste in music but I like what I like and nobody can change my mind. I don't care whatever society says because I have a personal opinion. Also I feel Iike I have both Catatonia and ADHD. Anyways that's pretty much it. If you read all that congratulations. Here is a cookie🍪

Does anyone think it has anything to do with television. If we think about evolution, every generation will advance or regress. It just seems you could look at the rise in cases and digital media. Just a thought?
