What’s the difference between ADD and ADHD?

ADD (attention deficit disorder) is a type of ADHD. The main difference between the two is that ADD sufferers are generally quite calm and serene, whilst those with ADHD are hyperactive. Top psychiatrist Dr Ravi Mehrotra explains more...

As someone with ADD, I played the video and did not listen to one thing so im going to watch it again. This is probably why you have so many views :'D

[analysts]

This video is boring, I'm just going to read the comments.

I have ADD. It can also cause depression or anxiety, short attention spans, time management/ being late, being introverted, and is most commonly found in girls. It is caused by a lack of dopamine causing you to be less happy/hyperactive.

When I tell people that I have a.d.d, they're like, "oh, do you mean a.d.h.d?" and i'm like, "*deep breath* no, there is a difference between a.d.d and a.d.h.d, " then explain the difference, but everytime this happens, I go on full rage mode, so seeing this video made me SO happy!

Having ADD, is like living on the inside not really living on the outside

I had to watch this twice because I was daydreaming and also reading scrolling through the comments. when I rewatched I heard a lot more than the last time.The symptoms of ADD describe me more than ADHD. I knew I had ADD, but kept procrastinating and forgetting to read up on it.



Who else never got it diognosed by a professional?

I hate my ADD for lack of energy and motivation, yet....
my brain NEVER stops. It’s like a computer with 15 pages open and I’m reading them all simultaneously

I just saw a really helpful comment on the other video about having a faster thought process than a regular person without ADD OR ADHD. Listen to the video at a quicker speed, that way you will be able to grasp the information without zoning out.
I listened to this @X1.75 speed.

It took 16 years of my life to legitimately realize that if I focus on my actions, I could perform them way better

[kameelios]

Ok stop being proud of having ADD i have it and i hate it

[BjorkBrex]

I apparently was misdiagnosed with ADD, and now I'm diagnosed with ADHD

[DisneyFan]

Yup I have ADD too.
I wasn't even diagnosed till the age of 28.

[KiKO-blvc]

Anybody always talk to themselfs in there head

[violetta]

Thanks for the short to the point video.

[kawaiidog]

Hyperactivity 🤨 it’s pretty obvious that’s the difference lol

[wako]

Had to re watch this 3 times.
I think it applies.

[muddyjoe]

I tried really hard to listen. Then I was like, focusing on why it was hard to listen. I think my first thought was, "what actor does he look like?" Then I was like, "oh, he looks like he would be good at basketball." Great video, team!

I only have an slight autism diagnos wich I got 2020. But I also have issues like impatient, daydreaming, sometimes I have trouble like focus and keeping sertain information in my head.
I dont have ADHD, but maybe some ADD.

[shellasundari]

I don't know if I have ADD or ADHD. I don't think i'm hyperactive but i can't sit still if i'm not doing something or daydreaming.

So ADD is some kind of lack of attention you pay into things?
