ADHD & Executive Functioning - Part 1 - Nature of ADHD Symptoms

Substantial research has accumulated to show that ADHD is more than simply a problem with attention, hyperactivity, or even impulse control. Many of the cognitive deficits associated with ADHD lie in the domain of executive functioning in neuropsychology. Since the executive functions provide for human self-regulation, all this suggests that ADHD is a disorder of self-regulation. This presentation will review a theory of ADHD that integrates these concepts into a more coherent and unifying model of ADHD. This model provides for a deeper understanding of the nature of ADHD and its associated cognitive and social deficits along with numerous implications for the management of the disorder.

In Part 1, I discuss our understanding of ADHD symptoms from the perspective of a clinical researcher like myself and show how they actually represent many of the 7 components of executive functioning.

I went through a roller coaster listening to this, even though I want to believe there is nothing wrong with me, because I have been capable of living, like a broken car but at least it still works.
I thank you, a thousand thanks.

Thank you so much for these informative lecture and excellent presentations! I love your tone of voice and the way you explain each scenario and the potential cause. I been waiting 3 months before I get to go see my doctor and hopefully get some medication. I’m 12 days away and wish it was sooner.. I have tried some adderall and it really works well for me I wish I could just get it from my normal doctor since my sister and dad have it too. My sister is on the meds but not dad.. he’s self medicating with alcohol and it’s not good.

I love this so informative! One of the simplest goal for me is to wash the dishes when it gets piled up. So I have to time myself and play beat the clock. I’ll put the timer for 10 min and I have to try to finish before the 10 min alarm goes off, kinda like a game for me, it helps me focus on one task! It works but sometimes my ADHD brain gets distracted.
