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

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.

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?

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

[chricelgracelausa]

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

[Caramel]

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.

[JoeMotionVideos]

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?

Thank you. Newly diagnosed 55 yr old learning fast

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

[julianjagush]

Watching this on x2 speed and reading comments

[RyanWilliams]

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.)

[SaulGoodman]

As someone who got diagnosed with bpd, this is scarily accurate to me.

[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.

[furianecfuria]

Can you do video for stutter ? @RhesusMedicine

[_kalabasaa]

Me scrolling and chatting while watching this..

[mtmadness]

I lost focus like 5 times during the video. Is that bad?

[redbarron]

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

[tashan]

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

[mooncatandberyl]

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
