I have ADD. I am more chill, calm, or relaxed. A bit of an introvert. When I was a kid, I was alway told to try harder and stop being lazy but then told "You're an intelligent person but how come I never see the work being finished? You need to try harder." and my mind would just give up and not care anymore. Now as an adult, Sometimes in life, I feel like too many things are thrown at me and I stop to care about it altogether. I literally become carefree. I also procrastinate a lot. I tell myself I'll do it later then actually forget because something else caught my mind and I've been hyper-focused on something I enjoyed doing more than the more important things 🤦 This has led me to miss appointments, pay fees, and other important stuff.

@@curtisnaidoo2841 You can't self diagnose online, or have us diagnose you. If you think you may have ADHD then definitely go to a doctor and just check. For me, I didn't get diagnosed until I was an adult because even though I always really struggled to do work or study, I was naturally smart. So I managed to pull through in school and get decent grades despite never revising or doing homework, and never thought that my constant struggle was anything other than laziness. It was only in college where I started to really fall apart because the content was much harder, and just being naturally smart wasn't enough to get by anymore. I drastically dropped from decently high grades to lowest in the class and developed a whole lot of other mental health issues as a result of being undiagnosed for so long. You may very well have ADHD too, people can appear to do well in school on the surface up to a certain age without revision or homework if they're naturally smart and therefore not get diagnosed till adulthood.

ADD reached close to home. I was literally on the verge of tears. I'm not lazy like my parents say, I'm not unmotivated, I just can't concentrate.

2:10-2:42 As a 22 year old college student who recently got diagnosed with ADD, this couldn't be more accurate to what I experienced for years. I was a great student in high school and thought I'd simply burned myself out going into college. The consequences of doing academically worse snowballed until I hit my rock-bottom, but after getting treatment for the condition, the difference is far beyond what the term 'night & day' could ever emphasize. Topics that would've seemed impossible to grasp a few months ago are well within my ability to understand now. Edit: For those asking for the type of medication I take, I’d rather keep that answer private, as not every case of ADD & ADHD is the same. In a parallel manner, sharing what I take might not be what YOU need. Getting consultation on the treatment you might need is something that should be done with your psychiatrist or a similar medical professional.

I didn’t even know who the fuck she was, how did she even know me? Then in elementary school kids would always look at me in disgust, no one wanted to be paired with me or to be in a group with me, everytime I’d smile people cringe, middle school was bad too, even my classmate cringe when my ex friend asked them if I was pretty. It took a toll on my mental health, now I really don’t wanna do anything.

Check if you can go through your school to see a psychologist employed by the school district. Start advocating for yourself now & never let up, because school & medical systems will find every reason to ignore you, & not just about ADD/ADHD. Document everything, from the first time you ask to see a school psychologist, the date you asked, who you asked, their response, & the date you have your first appointment, the date you get an IEP (Individualized Education Program ), if that's a thing where you are. Be sure they know you take it seriously, be sure they see you writing it all down. ADD/ADHD is not a measure of intelligence, so don't let anyone tell you you're too smart to have it, or that "you're bright, you're just lazy." If you get put on medication, document how it makes you feel, & if something makes you feel ill or funny in the head, speak up about that too. Some people will go through a couple different medications before they find the right one. There's a great website called ADDitude (additudemag . com) that has articles & symptom checkers. It can't diagnose you, but you can get info that will help back you up when you start self-advocating. I wish I could go back in time & tell my younger self all this. I'm 42 & realize I've been struggling with ADD my whole life, but I didn't look like the stereotypical hyperactive kids, so they let me fall through the cracks.

I am inattentive and I constantly am playing things in my head, which makes me ignore the present. It's like I'm awake but asleep, things are going on in front of my eyes but Im not paying attention and can't recall what happens later. I feel low energy throughout the day, I think night or evenings are a little better. I don't know if it's bcuz I don't usually wake up early in the morning. Maybe it's become a habit, but idk.

I always thought I had ADD because i sat relatively still and didn't interrupt as much but I was diagnosed with ADHD and the reason I sat still and didn't interrupt is because I would sit on my legs so I didn't swing them bounce them or lean my chair back and forth and I didn't interrupt because I'd keep biting my tounge till It hurt as to not say something while someone was speaking but that lead me to not hear what the person said and not remember what I was going to say so the reason the doctors could tell it was ADHD is because I'd sit with my legs crossed and peel my skin around my nails and they said they could see my jaw clench occasionally when they'd been talking for a while and said they could see my eyes yelling "i have something to say!" So basically the reason I thought I had ADD is because my teachers would constantly punish my for tipping my chair or talking in class which caused me to develop generalized anxiety and hide things that I simply cannot control so I now have to litteraly peel my skin and bite my tounge in fear of people getting annoyed at me

ADD is adhd. it just depends on how u present on a spectrum. you present both hyperactive and inattentive, some may struggle with one more than the other but it's all still the same condition. ADD isn't actually its own condition anymore its just adhd- ADD was removed as a seperate condition in like 1990

One of my most favorite thing said about adhd is “you try twice as hard only to barely get by”

Finally now I know what ADD truly is. I was diagnosed with it back in grade 1 and ever since then never rlly knew what it was and never bothered to research it.

I’m so thankful someone can explain a difference between adhd and add. As someone with add, saying that and having people say it’s the same as adhd, it’s kind of hard. I don’t let it get too into my head, but sometimes it’s frustrating so thank you

It’s is technically though. ADHD has three subtypes and ADD is the outdated term for inattentive- type ADHD.

Where I live, when you tell people that you have a condition like this, they won't take you seriously until you grow up and get a heart attack caused by depression and anxiety in your mid 40s

I have inattentiveness but I'm not generally hyperactive except for interrupting and drifting attention when people are speaking, though I try to catch myself.

I was diagnosed with ADD as a child, made worse upon the diagnosis was the talking between specialists, teachers and my mum like i wasn't even in the room with them, like i have some sort of 'problem'. It wasn't until I started taking my own health into my own hands that I realized how truly manageable and impermanent anything such as ADD is. I took martial arts from a young age which required active listening which became exercised because I was passionate about it unlike school where 9/10 teachers were black and white machines which take themselves home after a long day regurgitating the same shit they do every other day to polish off a bottle or two of wine being the unmotivated functioning alcoholics that they are, understandably so. My education truly began once I left school and this labeling of myself as a 'problem' has taken decades to heal from whilst this complex still plays itself out so I choose to stay alone for the most part and foresee the remainder of my future to be just like this, yes this is depressing, but it beats the same style of judgement I've incurred my whole life from feeling 'different'. So it's strange to see these walls of separation still been cast onto children, worse again, they're then given literal narcotics under the guise of it being helpful. Next minute every kid at the school is approaching your innocent 'problem' child asking to buy pills off them and you'd be none the wiser.

But as a adult I was told I have adhd because I am everywhere all the time. I’m not sad or anything but get bored with things very quickly and wanna learn everything. Tried medication and it actually helped so much. I realize I wasn’t dumb I just had a chemical imbalance. Diet helped as well. Running seemed to literally almost fix it all on top of diet. I walked a straight line for a while. But now we’ll no medication and I’m swinging from one job to the next, one book to the next. You get the point lol.

You can have symptoms of both or just one or the other (from what I heard) there’s *inattentive disorder* and that’s more like struggling to intake information, losing your belongings and being easily distracted. There’s *hyper activity/impulsive* where you talk a lot, can’t sit down, always fidget and are impatient. And then there’s this thing called *combined* where you experienced both symptoms, with varying degrees. (One is more prevalent than the other) you also always scramble todo everything at once, wanting to rush 😊and because of that, you do none of it.

I got to minute two in the video and realized I wasn’t paying attention… I’m glad this video is reaching its intended audience!

I have ADD and in the video what you said is true! I could take medication for my ADD but my parents don’t have the money for it… I don’t like to talk about school life with my parents because I feel like they wouldn’t understand… I have low self esteem because I always take things the wrong way… My friends sit with someone else I take it as they don’t wanna be my friend anymore… If I fail a test I am a failure and I don’t get to eat… I have issues but don’t talk to anyone because I it’s scary talking about those things… If you read this thanks for letting me vent.

As someone with ADD thank you for clarifying the difference between them.

I have ADD and ODD... It's not easy to deal with it especially when you're young, That's when you don't know what to do when certain emotions come up. Please if you know people with any of these symptomps, Be there for them.. They really need your support. I wish you all the best of luck dealing with these issues

Me, a person with adhd watching this, losing focus, and having to rewind.

Ending the video with offering a person with ADHD a cup of coffee is pretty funny

I have adhd,add,anxiety,and ocd so let’s explain my life! My adhd makes it hard to focus and all that. My add is so hard to cope with because people always call me lazy. My anxiety makes me feel scared and nervous to fail so I try harder and my ocd makes me want everything to be perfect and organized.So all of my issues kinda fight each other off so it kinda makes this stuff easier for me

the only reason I'm sure i have add is because my mom shows all the symptoms for add herself and so do i show some (which are really annoying). neither of us have been diagnosed with it yet, but i got diagnosed with general anxiety instead since i have been growing depressed over my studies and behavioral issues and now it's worst since the meds are obv not helping and I'm scared i might get worse marks in math again. it sucks!!

I'm copy/pasting some things I wrote to others here, hope you don't mind. Check if you can go through your school to see a psychologist employed by the school district. Start advocating for yourself now & never let up, because school & medical systems will find every reason to ignore you, & not just about ADD/ADHD. Document everything, from the first time you ask to see a school psychologist, the date you asked, who you asked, their response, & the date you have your first appointment, the date you get an IEP (Individualized Education Program ), if that's a thing where you are. Be sure they know you take it seriously, be sure they see you writing it all down. ADD/ADHD is not a measure of intelligence, so don't let anyone tell you you're too smart to have it, or that "you're bright, you're just lazy." If you get put on medication, document how it makes you feel, & if something makes you feel ill or funny in the head, speak up about that too. Some people will go through a couple different medications before they find the right one. There's a great website called ADDitude (additudemag . com) that has articles & symptom checkers. It can't diagnose you, but you can get info that will help back you up when you start self-advocating. Much of what's going on is a lack of dopamine, so people with our condition not only find focusing a challenge, but especially on tasks & topics that don't help the brain make dopamine. Some of us who fell through the cracks, as it were, ended up with dopamine-seeking tendencies like over-eating, retail therapy, drugs, thrill-seeking, etc. Don't let that be you. (Although things like dance & music can help! Keep up the band stuff, music is a lifeline.) I made it through most of school because I had a structure/schedule, but without those things, as an adult, I felt even more broken & lost.

I once had a kid in class during my elementary school days who had ADHD, and the only thing I knew was the hyperactivity part. The details displayed here was what I wish I knew about then.

Woah! I have ADHD now I figured out why I’m so disruptive at school. I always have an urge to make noise… not for attention, it just happens. I would have such a strong urge… it’s like I just got a clue. Thank you so much! Have a great day!

Yup- all round yup lol. I was constantly told I need to try harder in subjects I really struggled with- Maths and Science being the top 2. Yet get me in a Design tech class, art or drama, I'd be really driven and focused. I wouldn't say I have the hyperactivity, but literally every single one of my behaviours is textbook ADD! The question is, how do you get a doctor to take you seriously enough to actually get a diagnosis?! I've tried twice with my GP and the enquiries haven't followed through.

The term ADD is no longer used to describe inattentive type. It's only ADHD which can present itself in 3 different ways, Hyperactive type, Inattentive type or Combined type.

This is because some people, especially women/girls, show their symptoms differently than others. Ex.) Rather than being talkative, they daydream. Both are symptoms of ADHD, but one would be considered ADD (daydreaming) and the other ADHD (talkative), based on what is considered “hyperactive” by the medical community. But, this still shouldn’t be used because it isn’t as simple as that and ADHD is quite different than just this and that. So just use ADHD.

I hate that the ADD thing explained my life perfectly. Like my parents always called me lazy so I started acting this way. (I just remember I had to do something else instead of watch youtube video’s) my grades were low because I could never finish the test because of a lack of focus, but the parts I did make I often had at least 70%/80% of the questions right. I had no idea about what caused ADD so that’s really nice to know :D

it's so true when you said "they easily get bored" me at every single video 20 seconds in "well this is boring"

I have ADD and my younger brother has ADHD. We both have prescribed medicine that we take to help us focus better but obviously it's not perfect. We both still struggle with school. Also, a side effect of the medicine I take is loss of appetite and sometimes I'll go 2 - 3 days without anything to eat, which is a huge problem for someone like me who is already severely underweight. Also for me, I often struggle to breathe which also makes it hard to focus, and I also experience most of the things that the other comments say. Long story short, living with ADD (and ADHD) is really hard, and medication isn't for everyone. To everyone else who has to deal with these disorders, I hope you get the support you need to help you succeed.

Was bullied through two schools and haven't gotten any promotion even after trying my best. It's not easy being me but I guess we get what we get.

Hi as a medical personnel I tell my clients to always checkup on their family. To know if they are okay. But I didn't have enough time for mine and I didn't notice that my child had ADHD. But I am greatful to Dr Iyhere on youtube for providing a lasting treatment for him. I appreciate you sir.

Came here to see if i had anything in common, got lost in my thoughts after a sentence i heard and forgot to focus💀💀💀💀

Due to the nature of my job I have been unable to try out alot of things, also I tend to be forgetful of things so I went to the hospital and I was asked to conduct some tests. When the doctors told me I had ADHD, and meeting Dr Iyhere after all these so called treatments, my life has been quite difficult.

I have never been able to complete writing the notes of one chapter in one go. I hard being a student with ADHD.

I have ADD, all of my teachers know this, even my friends, but still call me lazy, especially one teacher, she would constantly bash me for this, it made me believe i was stupid, she still does this from time time, I just kinda live with it at this point, im gonna have to see her next probably due to failing grad's sadly

I like the cartoon art 😁

It was ADD all along, tried to finish my college thesis, but everytime I do it, its just I can't, there's sometime my fingers just freezes and my mind went blank, I even shouted and just about to cry like I cannot do it anymore.

This video is actually outdated now. ADD has now been changed to be referred to as ADHD inattentive type, because they are the same disorder. One just results in the internalization of symptoms.

I was diagnosed of A.D.H.D on time at an early stage of my life, and as a result I was home schooled, I wasn't happy about my condition especially when I see my siblings going to school every morning. As the years went by, I got to know about Dr Iyhere on youtube and I have tried out his sessions and drugs, I started day school last spring and it has been amazing.

I wish all science Videos are like this

When it comes to focus amongst other things, my son excels at video games, star wars, marvel and the stuff he is interested in. He can break that stuff down all the way. I'm school, he is the complete opposite in certain subjects. Observed him in his math class today and he loses focus

What if you have both those aeries of symptoms at different times?
