i couldn't even pay attention to this video

[Paytobe]

For a video targeted to people with ADHD, they really made it so slowly passed

[TevDaSkel]

I was reading the comments instead of listening now I gotta re watch it.

[thilolg]

27 years later, I still haven’t been diagnosed. I have these symptoms tremendously. My life would have been if I got it diagnosed earlier

[DonnHowes]

I got diagnosed with ADHD since my teenage, used ADHD medications for years. I spent my whole life fighting ADHD. Also 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.

[flednanders]

i think so deeply on my meds. like when im not on them i'll see something and be like yeah nice that exists. and then on the meds everything i see has a deep meaning to it.

[adamjankowski]

Finally had a psychiatrist prescribe meds at 38 years old and I wonder where my life could have been if my parents decided to put me on medication. Maybe I wouldn't have dropped out of college my first go at it, got better GPA, been willing to listen better, ect. There are tons parents who want to go the all natural way with their kids. As a middle age male who was in this boat I wish my parents would have made the choice to medicate. Maybe I wouldn't have fallen in to depression, been more socially cognitive, and had less many challenges in my way. We don't live in a world of rainbows and butterflies, its a cruel world and I say give everyone the best chance they can have vs taking a chance.

I was diagnosed with ADHD but never medicated. As a kid to now as an adult I've always loved caffeine. When I use caffeine I feel like my body and mind are finally one. My thoughts and actions are in sync and I feel ''normal''.

[IzzyBombz]

If you have adhd and are bored by videos with a slower pace, a quick tip is to raise the playback speed. It’s helped me a ton

[fxaman]

After 37 years of of struggles I got to the point of me googling details about assisted suicide almost daily. I thought I had depression, it turns out I did, but caused by ADHD. I’m starting my medication tomorrow and I can’t wait.

[kitdrawsalot]

Why am I just now finding out about this. Perhaps it was the old school way of thinking of my upbringing.

[jn]

Im so excited to finally get diagnosed this month. 30 years of living undiagnosed and untreated ends this year :)

[travylacefield]

I'm ADHD it's very hard to interact with people I don't trust anyone and don't like certain people i get agitated very easily

[esmeekanters]

I personally have ADHD and I was trained from a young age to sit still and colour or something else to do but do it quietly and alone for about a hour or two.
that helped me tremendously in trying to stay focused, I learned to relax and stay half focused it's a great way to learn and live with no medication for me (maybe for you to or your kid).
I sometimes do have extreme hyper activeness but I try to do it when it is in the right in environment (not at work or important serious places).
not that you can't be hyper and giggly but do it when it's the right time.

Hope this gives u some info into a ADHD brain :)

[minikuinezumi]

How is it so easy for people to get medication and a diagnosis, it’s been taking me forever and my parents aren’t even willing to help. I’m not sure if I can drop out of high school but I’m nearly failing all my core classes and everything is so overwhelming. I truly believe I can perform well but I’m always overwhelmed with everything and forgetting the smallest details. It keeps on adding up and I can’t really take it anymore.

[idyllicmoon]

I take medication for it, but I don't know if its just making me more sleepy so I can focus and calm down, and stop running all over the place with 100% energy or actually helping my ADHD. I'm worried because I have to keep getting the dose raised as its not working much. It's also making me worried because the higher the dose- the worse my appetite gets. It's gone to the point where I've been so focused on the computer that I don't even realize I am hungry and end up getting so hungry that I starve and get sick, even over-heat. This focused thing isn't the pill either. It's happened before this. I have ADHD but its like when I am doing something I like/am interested in I get so focused and forget everything else. Sometimes I even forget I'm standing up and start rocking back and forth like I always do in chairs. My ADHD isn't too bad but the pills are making my eating worse and it's not getting better. I am proud of it, though. Just not the school part. I get absolutely 0 work done unless I'm forced to, and I get distracted all the time. Just like when I posted this comment; School is going on behind the scenes.

[htet]

Yes this does help, it's just makes me feel like I'm a crazy guy who needs meds because he's crazy

[deitrestolbert]

My nephew had it..very hyperactive, so hyper till he almost ran into a glass patio door..but once he got onto the meds he discovered that eaten sugar /sweets take the affects of meds because he didnt like the way it calms him down.😀

[stuttgartmadness]

To the fellow ADHDers looking at the comments because you can’t even focus on a YouTube video, welcome.

[croozerdog]

It baffles me that it's even possible in the USA to get heavy meds without seeing a psych. I'm from the Netherlands and I speak to my psychiatrist on a monthly base just to check up on my dose and how I'm feeling on the current dose.
