People keep saying "where is the test?" PLEASE READ THIS -

Yes, these are a list of symptoms, BUT this is how they test you in clinics.

To 'pass the test' as likely ADHD positive (NOT an official diagnosis) you need to display at least 6 traits (or 5 for adolescents) since before the age of 12 'very often'. I hope this clears things up.

For further support, see links and resources in the video description.

Limited working memory: you can only keep a small amount of information in your head at one time, which is why you write everything down. Thumbs up if you agree.

Sometimes, I focus on listening so much that I forget what I am listening to. I also realised that when I tried to listen and make eye contact to "connect" more, I ended up zoning out and filtering their words. It's a daily struggle fr

I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder, Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Diagnosed with ADHD.
I feel I interrupt people for two reasons (neither are good ones). I either believe I understand their point and finish their sentence to get them to stop rambling, or I urgently want to contribute something but see no opportunity to speak up and need to interrupt before the topic changes.

Even talking to someone one hour a week significantly helps to both understand my emotions and how to handle them appropriately and effectively. I wish I was diagnosed and had counceling/therapy over twenty years ago.

The talking excessively and blurting out things is so embarrassing. I’m 48 now and still think ‘why did I say that?!’ and ‘I shouldn’t have talked so much’ every time I had contact with other people.

[chemtrayliaindafukkinskya]

I just thought everyone was like this 😂 Damn...

I can't imagine how peaceful life would be without any of these things...

I'm 38, I've developed systems and coping mechanisms for things I didn't even know were not what everyone else experiences...

It never crossed my mind that I might have ADHD until my youngest child was diagnosed last year and I started researching it. It was like a light bulb went off and I realized what’s been wrong with me my whole life. From my kindergarten teacher telling my mom that I lacked organizational skills to my boss giving me a jokingly slow clap because I actually made it to work on time. From my habit of over sharing inappropriate things because I just blurt them out without thinking to my tendency to find topics or fandoms and learn every single detail like an obsession. I keep pointing out every instance that justifies my ADHD and gotten to the point that I think I’m annoying my husband and kids. I’m not trying to make excuses for my actions. I’m just happy that I finally have a reason that I do the things I do 😂

Who else here is reading the comments to stay focused on the video? 😂

It's worth mentioning that Dr Barkley criticises the DSM for missing a key symptom, emotional dysregulation. According to him impulsive behaviour is inextricably tied to impulsive emotions, emotional dysregulation. This was a symptom in medical descriptions of ADHD for the longest time, but was taken out and isn't covered by the DSM, even though it can explain many aspects of ADHD.

As a kid I kept getting passed over for the gifted program because "I didn't follow directions" even though I was reading college level books in the third grade. Finally, I have an explanation. Now if only I can get rid of this seething bitterness.

[APOLLINAIREBARTHOLOMIEU]

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

[animalsarelove]

Diagnosed recently inattentive type. I been grieving for my younger self that struggled so hard. Thanks for your videos. new sub 😊

[gabriellab]

The fact that I spaced out twice during this video, might be a sign.😐

[ktsmells]

I happened to view your videos by chance and discovered I have ADHD. Unfortunately, my parents concealed my childhood diagnosis from me until I suggested I have it. I'm not mad, just disappointed that they hid it from me. Regardless, I've since seen my doctor who's referred me to a specialist clinic in Cambridge.

A lot of things make perfect sense to me now. Thanks again for making these videos.

[GD.WINTER]

The fact that i couldn't focus on what he was saying and i was playing with my phone's cover while watching definitely proves i have ADHD

[letiziapent]

I find myself saying "OMG that's so me! But isn't everyone else experiencing that?" I am 30, and realizing I might have ADHD. Going through the test I answered "Very often or often" to almost all questions (a couple of sometimes). Some of the symptoms are less strong and I control myself now because I did therapy.

[CatladyKiefFingers_deLarios]

Dang for all the adults in these comments saying you were never diagnosed as a child and have had struggles because of it, my heart goes out to you. At the same time you must be incredibly strong to have made it to where you are now. I feel like without the intense intervention i had around the age of 7 (im 34 now) id have never held a job, passed any classes, or completed ANYTHING. I still struggle quite a bit though, i feel like i need a new kind of approach to address my symptoms as i answered often or all the time to every single question 😬

I'm not officially diagnosed ADHD but my psychiatrist suspects I am. I've always struggled from hormonal migraines and even with my medicine, it's hard for me to focus at work if I start getting blind spots and the dull ache is still there. I always feel terrible because when I have a flare up, I have to leave work early, and I start to feel like I'm slacking and get anxious that I'II lose my job.

I am always obsessed with figuring out whether I have inattentive adhd or low self esteem and anxiety. It’s really hard to figure it out. There is so much overlap. Im quiet and don’t really talk over people or interrupt like the adhd stereotype but im constantly taking nothing in in lectures, leaving things until last minute and generally feeling the stress of trying to juggle social life, hobbies, work, relationships. Vyvanse made me way more socially anxious and im about to try Ritalin
