As an adult, who was just diagnosed with ADHD in the last several months, I can vouch for the substance abuse. I never truly was addicted to one thing or the next, but trying to focus and relax before I knew I had ADHD was very horrible. I would often drink way too much coffee or consume too much caffeine to try to stay awake and focus during the day. I didn’t have matter how much sleep I had. Then to try to relax at night I would have alcohol to try and chill, but my no means too much or I couldn’t get up the next morning. in college, in order to get over some of my anxiety, I took up smoking. There was just something I could never find to trade and just make me more even keeled. Fast forward to my adult years, and I finally learned have ADHD. Now so many things makes sense. Now I’m on a medication and I don’t find a need for any of this stuff… I don’t drink anymore, except occasionally, I haven’t smoked in over 25 years and I only have one small cup of coffee, or I only do decaf. Medication change my life for the better, and I’m more focused, more even keeled, and can perform better as a human in many different capacities. Really wish I would’ve known before that I had this condition but better late than never I guess. Good luck to all who are out there, and meds are really not as bad as they seem. I’d much rather be on this and get addicted to something that could destroy my life even worse.

As a man diagnosed with ADHD as a teenager with a daughter who seems to be displaying signs of ADHD this was really informative. I was hesitant to putting her on medication(if it even comes to that) just knowing the side effect but this video put me at ease.

I will say this, my ADHD clinic does genetic testing to determine the optimal treatment method and so far it’s been working great for me. Knowing what works before trying things out made the process so much easier than med hopping like my wife had to do.

I was just diagnosed & started medication for ADHD at 45 years old. I'm usually hesitant for psychiatric meds but this has been a game changer. The debilitating anxiety & all over the place thoughts were gone within hours. Do I still need plenty of daily movement for "hyperactivity" and help with executive function? Absolutely, but now I feel like that's actually possible for me.

Thank you for this, this was so informative and helped open a perspective that I struggled with for so long in regards to my child’s diagnosis

Thank you! 😊Do you have a quick video on getting an 18 year old to clean up dishes/kitchen?

A Very informative video. So many people think they have the remedy, but the only advice I take is from licensed professionals.

I did really well on imapramine as a child, and the results were pretty much permanent, in conjunction with behavioral therapy. I only took it for two years. It hurt my stomach because it was sticky and would get stuck in my esophagus on the way down. It also took away my "sparkle" as my mom's best friend put it. It really helped me academically, and I became an avid reader, but I stopped taking it because of the stomach issue and the dullness. I didn't grow at all when I was on it, and for almost two years after, which meant that I was 4'3 and 50 lbs from 4th-7th grade. Not sure if it was the medication or if I was just a weenie 😂 I wasn't on anything else except for a Ritalin trial run in high school, until today at age 39 when I started Strattera.

That's true, they will try to self medicate...which is a problem a dear family member has been doing for years and is homeless as a result.

My mom is one of those people who give her unwanted opinion and doesn't understand how ADHD works etc also my ex which is my daughter father who isn't in the pic started abusing his ADHD med and now he in and out of jail bcz of substance abuse so I see how unmedicated leads to substance abuse

I still feel insecure about giving my so medication like methylphenidate which side effects mimic adhd symptoms. I wonder if it has different side effects in adults.

Exactly what we've experienced here. All the adhd'ers in my home are all on different medications.
It took trial and error with all of them and active management of the medication. Also some people need to treat anxiety along with a stimulant.

My 46yr old husband was a hard-core vodka alcoholic for 15+ years as a result of untreated ADHD and anxiety. It's truth.
My 6yr old son has ADHD worse though. And I'm still struggling with deciding to medicate him. It's just hard when it's your own kid. Logic vs heart...

We are struggling to find the right medication - what are your thoughts on the genetic tests out there to help find the right one?

My son is 9 yr old and he is diagnosed with ADHD.. My Psychiatrist prescribed him MethylPhenidate 5 mg .. I’m so concerned about using it thinking of later side effects.. Plz give me a suggestion regarding it

I was hoping there was a way to manage ADHD without meds. My son also has epilepsy and I'm scared to give him the Adderall the MD prescribed for his ADHD. These drugs can have so many potential side affects...i want what's best for him only im scared he'll have a bad reaction and be back to square one. Trying different drugs on an 11 year old is scary and sad to witness.
