Ironically, I can't seem to focus on this.

I have ADHD and yes, the poor sound quality was an issue for me too. I do some semi-pro videography as a side line and have filmed this kind of thing for others. The idea is sound and in this case the lecture was very informative - for me (in my primary role) as a clinician in the field it is good to have the chance to virtually attend a seminar like this. A little more investment in kit and technical proficiency will make these a valuable resource.

This man is my hero. After 32 years of living in chaos, he has made me normal. He says I'm one of the few adults who hasn't been I prison he's treated and may ask me to speak to junior psychiatrists about not all ADHD people being violent. I the switch from highly intelligent and articulate type to boarder line special needs.


But always worked, mortgage on a house in London. So proof we can succeed.

Love to David (we're on first name terms you know)

What a fantastic video!

Why can’t all Dr’s be like David?

I think the disinhibition of the Nigrostriatal pathway due to reduced function of the mesocortical system really is true, ive analysed myself and i realise that early in the morning i have all the limbic and basal systems overfunctioning, thus the inattention, hyperactivity and the poor mood.

However over sometime during the day the PFC wakes up and allows itself to inhibit the lower order processing.

I think this is fascinating.

someones phone starts ringing around 17:20 and it totally threw me off :/

I also was given the label 'ADHD'. I acknowledge the medical knowledge within this video but I also believe that medication can dumb down 'natural' thoughts and feelings. I felt forced to conform whilst on medication. Unless you have the correct guidance and stimuli around it, I think therapy is better and hands on activities to allow learning in a different way, not a conformed medicated way :)
