6 things I DID NOT know were ADHD RELATED! Full video on the channel! #shorts #adhd #mentalhealth

I'm Kati Morton, a licensed therapist making Mental Health videos. Let's talk ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - in this video I'm talking you through 6 things you might not know are actually ADHD related. Essentially these are some of the ADHD signs and symptoms that you may not realize are signs or symptoms of ADHD. So if you ask yourself, do I have ADHD or how to know if I have ADHD, this video may be a good start in seeing if you can recognize any of these ADHD behaviors or symptoms. Some of these may also happen with people who have ADD or Attention Deficit Disorder. These are things with ADHD that may happen in adolescence, someone's teenager years or in adulthood - and they can happen to both men and women! What about you? Did anything in this video surprise you? Anything you didn't know that were ADHD related and now you do? Let me know in the comments!

Decision making puts me in crisis mode literally I will avoid at all costs. It’s been something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember.

I’m also incredibly forgetful to the point I make lists and sticky note reminders all the time to keep my brain organized. and I’m told all the time I talk too fast. I’ve not got an adhd diagnosis though.

[nootnoot-]

Decisions i make are either on impulse, or when i try and make a good decision i overthink it endlessly and then get very indecisive until i run out of time, then i end up just making an impusle decision again...

#3 was a realization for me when I first started looking more into ADHD. I knew I did this but often too late to stop myself and I also would realize later after cutting people off and literally ignoring that they were talking completely how much I did that. I felt awful

[cc_isgreat]

I’m so indecisive I wanna scream. I thought it was just a weird “me” thing 😢

[bubblerrs]

#4. difficulty going to bed at a reasonable time..I didn't even think about this one being adhd related. I am currently not going to bed at a reasonable time. I should've been in bed two hours ago, so I find this funny 😂

[aNaturalist]

I have trouble going to bed, and trouble making some bigger life decisions, but not all of them. "Where to live" is a huge struggle for me, since I've chosen to be self employed and not tied down in ways that many people are.

I have all symptoms related to people with ADHD, I am NOT diagnosed, because my family doesn't want me to do so. But I am struggling with almost all of the subjects at school because of it, as i've said. I do not know if I have it, but I keep zoning out and forgetting things, such as homeworks, projects and all. Got into many troubles because of my forgetfulness/ zoning out problems, it's hard. 😐

I've never been diagnosed with ADHD and everyone says it's very unlikely that I have it and I agree with that, but all of this is relatable

[abbysworld]

When I looked more into ADHD I found out that it’s common for people with ADHD to hyperfocus and to lose track of time and to think in black and white

“Difficult to go to bed at reasonable times”
Me scrolling through youtube shorts because im too bored to sleep:

[Slavaukraine]

YES! PICKING FIGHTS JUST BECAUSE I'M BORED ONE!! I've had this issue since I was a child, never knew it was ADHD related 😀

[jorjalloyd]

I pick fights with my friends every day because I’m bored and I’m always forgetful I relate to this 100%

[SierraMWymer]

I cannot believe this AGAIN!! On down the line bulbs are turning on! It’s so enlightening! I’ve been misdiagnosed all my life!

[DugEphresh]

I love this therapist! Watch how she talks and expresses what you should be paying attention to with her eyes.

[dumbalek]

As they say, we been knew.

Those are very common ADHD indicators, and by no means anything new, although not all ppl with ADHD will relate to them. For instance, I can fall asleep very early but have troubles staying asleep in the morning.

All of these traits can also indicate other issues, like BPD, Bipolar Depression, OCD, etc.

Generally, don't diagnose through tiktoks or brief YouTube shorts that are there to generate clicks with catchy titles, and not help you. Please do your research and if you can, contact a mental health professional !

[switchunboxing]

omg thank u I could cry. my whole life no one said anything. finally came out to my mom at age 35 and she just chuckled and said "I know"

[abrahamthecuriousadventure]

I have all of these, but thank goodness that picking fights thing and unable to make desicions thing has decreased over the years

[ari-luou]
