Miss Galinsky talks like a politician and I couldn't focus on a single thing she said. Dr. Brown, on the other hand, hit home with every note. Interviewer also needs to learn how to let her guests speak. We're here for a panel on ADD; not a panel on "Understood."

It's not just a matter of doing what you love tho! There are things I love to do that I can't get myself to focus to do. It is very frustrating.

Hugs! Don't ever say to yourself I wish I knew sooner. I was diagnosed when I was 6.... Early 90s.... The information and misinformation and especially the lack of knowledge and helpful treatment for a kid like me was non existant or harmful. It wasn't until ADHD stole my car keys that there has been any open and expert sharing if how this affects you and how to help manage it. My toolbox used to be semi effective meds. Now I'm learning to unlearn all the dependancies and toxic behaviors I was allowed as a kid because my mom was taught by the doctor to do everything for me.

I take Ritalin for my ADHD. ADHD is like driving in a thick fog. When the Ritalin kicks in, it's like breaking out of that fog into the clear, sunshiny road ahead. I am 67 years old. I couldn't get any help when I was young, because only boys got ADHD. I was tested and saw many psychologists, but no one said ADHD, since I was a girl. When my son got it, a got tested and put on medications. We both got counseling to be able to help ourselves. My son does very well, I still have some trouble. But, with the med, I do much better than if I'm not on it.

@@ripsraps sorry man but I have to disagree here. You cant train the away errors of innatention caused by ADHD. Most people with ADHD will still need medication in adulthood. The problem is, you need effective executive function to implement the training etc. You only have to ask around the forums or support groups to see this. In fact, I dont even know anyone else with ADHD, who came off medication for any reason other than blood pressure. Of course, im not saying a person cant improve their condition with some CBTs but the problem is a lack of dopamine and extra production is induced by the medication. Sadly, there are no behaviour modifications, that can be proven to work, for that. She's just trying to sell her books.

@@ripsraps Dr. Brown mentions multiple times that medication is only another tool, such as therapies and help with executive dysfunction. i am a person with ADHD, just as you are born with brown hair or blonde hair, except so much more. you can dye your hair different colors, but it doesnt change the chemistry of what it is. it will always have the roots to come out that color unless furthrr damaged or greying. i am born with ADHD, and i will die with ADHD. i will never know what its like to not have it, no matter how many difficulties of having it i can minimize. plus, from my perspective, my ADHD isnt a list of symptoms, but rather how i function from day to day life. scientically, people with ADHD literally have smaller brains, and impaired chemical wiring. no meds or therapy can change those facts unless you give me an entirely new brain. i will always function differently than the person next to me that was born to have an average sized brain with the correct connection between neurons, and that cant change. sure, therapy can help me cope with the more difficult aspects of how i function in everyday life, but it won't ever change. i can find loop holes to make it easier in living a stereotypical life of someone who is neurotypical, but i think what needs to happen is to change expectations. instead of expecting someone with ADHD to sit still or get a job thats overwhelming, be flexible with their blueprints rather than trying to therapize or medicate them into being able to sit down or do that job. instead, work with them, and allow them to do it standing up or make classrooms that have a variety of sitting/standing arrangements, or beging to accept people who cannot work or do not judge them if their jobs are executed differently and/or having completely out of the ordinary jobs. also, outside of school or work, such as socializing, dont expect them to make eye contact or follow through with conversation. be patient and willing to learn/ask questions about the way they function in these situations. change expectations of what is a proper conversations, and maybe learn from what the constant interrupter is trying to get across. maybe ask them how theyd want you to interact when they act a certain way? and for someone with ADHD, even outside socializing i have much difficulty. sometimes it takes me 3 hours to change a pair of pants, and instead of expecting me to do that in less than 5min like everyone else. instead of getting frusterated, ask why it took so long. miscommunication and expectations are so damaging, especially with things out of our reach. also, since ive had ADHD my entire life and thats all i know, i typically do things that are not typical, but i think are. so, sometimes i even do things that i dont know are caused by my adhd, because most, if not all, things i do is in result of it, and i may not understand that what im doing is frusterating to those around. just communicate, understand, and ask questions, but sometimes we don't have answers and we dont know ourselves, so be patient.

That's some phrenology bullshit right there. Five regions of the brain were seen to be smaller in ADHD kids, and that brain sizes were also 3% smaller overall, yes. However studies also showed brain sizes in many ADHD children were recorded as larger. Just as in people without ADHD. As meaningful as shoe size, and a kid with smaller feet running faster than a kid with bigger feet. And some research using resting-state MRIs suggests that individuals with ADHD may have increased functional connectivity in certain regions of the brain. You are talking about a condition with a spectrum of severity, like Autism. No, not suggesting the condition is LIKE autism, but that it is a spectrum of issues like autism is. No two ADHD people are alike or suffer from the condition in the same way. The brain is an unfathomably complex organ, we humans ironically can't even use it to understand itself. I'm sorry your ADHD affects you in the manner in which it does, it sounds tough. It's clear from your writing your stream of consciousness is unique, but your experiences while relatable are not universal and apply to every ADHD sufferer. And medication does help. It's irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

There is a hell of a lot of shades between black and white…..There’s more of us that aren’t successful ..and to have people tell me ….oh look at Richard Branson ….or any other successful person blah blah blah ,he has Dislexia and look what he achieved . Do you know what that does to most of us ….. it puts more pressure on us …then… if we don’t achieve it’s another failure . Because XYZ can do it . If you don’t FALL WITHIN the level of ADHD AND DISLEXIA that allows you to build your strengths. Like me with the memory problems of both issues. It simply crushes your spirit . It drives the lifetime of depression - the woman in the red dress would do well to curb her outward excitement to a more balanced level that respects those of us who are being crushed by the pressure . 50+ years I’ve been damaged by people throwing it in my face ….A list of popular successful tv star’s Or business people and investors who worked through it to become rich and famous…….

I believe that the "out of the box" thinking myth is to blame for that. The fact that you think out of the box has to do with you, this isn't caused by your adhd. There are many people with adhd that are unable to think "outside of the box". Adhd is simply a disability, a problem with executive functions and in many cases the working memory. I can't start anything and when i do I can't finish it and no matter how much willpower i have, I can't manage my own freaking life. It's a problem and i could do without it, unless they somehow adjust society in a way that will work for people with disabilities.

I read the book and do the same thing that you said I read it don’t remember it but I remember the day. I’m 57 and I always wanted to know how to read and write. Unfortunately they told me I was slow and had low self-esteem. Thankfully I had teachers who believed in me and help me to graduate with my class.

I have learned to adapt precisely with my lack of focus on uninteresting (but necessary) tasks by conditioning and FOOLING my mind to think (or finding reasons why) they are interesting and meaningful. It’s incredibly tough and does not always work, but many times it does and helps, especially in highly demanding fields. I was also just reminded, i can never picture any image in my mind completely clear, so while i like art, i could only draw still life or by copying, but never from memory or imagination.

So medication is also important thing for ADHD. So, also I started a new life.., live normaly, like other normal person have normal brains so dont need medication for this condition, we have some abnormalitis in this part of a brain, but this medications stimulants helps regulating this thing a brain problems and a person can much more live a normal life after mental help they take this medications stimulants, which regulates brain funcioning and, amphetamine like ones and this can also be a problem that a substance like amphetamine became a medication for this disorder and say is a very strong and may be dangerous if abusing this kind stimulant medication and it hapens a lot .., and they became a very dangerous drug..

Omg that description about reading that report... That's what I spent 5 years in University doing, trying to cram things into my head and absolutely nothing registering. Same thing in lectures. I had a tutor at one point and having that 1-on-1 bouncing off the information and interaction gave me a 180 turn in my grades. It's got nothing to do with whether we can focus or how much we want to focus, it's got to do with whether we can control what we focus on. There's certainly strategies you can come up with to help, but: 1) those strategies are not always acceptable behaviour in society, 2) when you become an adult and you get bombarded with multiple things you can't immediately find strategies for, you're going to get overwhelmed much more quickly. This is also why so many high functioning people with ADHD don't get diagnosed until adulthood.

01/31/2022 I've been dealing with ADD for 43 years and I'm going to finally get medical treatment to get this under control, and finally take the helm for my life.

Two weeks later I had my brain back. I've always struggled with ADD, but it was mostly at a manageable level. The HRT put me back where it was manageable again.

Have visited many therapists that they all leave you off with ""you gotta find something that works for you." Yes, thank you. How?

💔. No matter what, that teacher did the right thing in letting you know your child is special. No matter what the official diagnosis may or may not be, the fact that the teacher noticed somthing significantly different with your child now means you have an ally and and a source to help identify challenges they have and with that knowledge you can work with your child so they can learn, understand and build the skill sets and strengthen the areas they will need to be more successful in future. I'd have to say 99.9% of teachers care allot about the kids they teach. They also know Allot more then pretty much any other person out there on what's normal and what's not for the age group they regularly teach. Parents need to work with these teachers to help them do their best to help your child learn and grow and you to learn what your child's strengths and weaknesses are so you can best help your child grow into a successful independent adult or at the very least a much less dependant adult then they would otherwise be.

Awesome, I like your lesson. Fantastic. Keep it up the great job.

EXCELLENT discussion. Thank you for the information!

Honestly I love where this conversation is going I don't like calling it ADHD in general. I was never diagnosed or even was aware of any symptoms at all. In school I was having trouble focusing in class when the teacher was giving a lesson. I still was not even aware of symptoms at all without using the word ADHD. Throughout my childhood I did have trouble with reading, writing, or even developed basic sentences (paragraphs) or use proper pronouce (words) to build the vocabulary. This is really informative issues everyone should pay attention. My family physician did recommend me to start taking Adderall. It is a drug that help you to concentrate or pay attention, stay focused, increase brain 🧠activity, behavior problems, and also help to improve listening skills. It is very effective indeed ofcourse I did experience drowsiness, and dizziness at the beginning. The side effects was instant I barely even react or at all. My family physician did prescribed MIXED SALTS AMPHETAMINE 30MG ADDERALL XR once daily without nutrition food in the morning.

Hi to Understood time 🤘🤗 I'm living with ADHD also. And iam so glad to be here. I mean so excited 💯👌and thanks to Dr. Andrea

I often am called stupid and an idiot but I have a high IQ and am a master marketer. I suffer terribly with adult ADHD but I manage to do what I have to do. The worst part of my struggle is people thinking those of us with ADHD are "retarded" or somehow mentally ill or weirdo's. As a child in the 1960s I was bullied beyond belief. I refused to go to school any more. I was sent to "boys school" for one year where I was raped and often beaten. I quit school on my 16th birthday. I was driven to hate people, God, and society. Over many years I slowly taught myself how to cope and I became a really good man, IMO. I still struggle with urges to "act out" but I usually can contain my angst from my past. I have flashbacks of abuse and the rape and they eat away at my soul, but I wont give up!

I'm so sorry to hear about your history of abuse, bullying and rape, David. I'm glad you feel you've been making progress over time and I'm sure you're right that you're a good man. Perhaps you might find some psychotherapy helpful for the feeling of the flashbacks eating at your soul. And/or, perhaps trauma-focussed practices could help too. Lots of luck to you.

Good panel for people with little knowledge about ADD/ADHD. This panel with provide you with some good information about the subject.

I could watch the other one ... this one I'm getting disctracted.

What about adults? And sufferers of ADD/ADHD don't have the ability to consistently set realistic goals and focus on the progressive steps to obtain them. B-Mod and a medication regimen help me, but at 29 it's extremely difficult. Even more so since my family and friends assume I'm either a junky, or lacking will power and motivation.

I enjoyed hearing Ellen Gallinskys insight. I feel like some if the people in this comment section are being rather rude and critical. These are experts, not spokespeople. Thomas Brown has wondefulr speaking abilities but in the end he is reciting everything he has said before. Which is important because it needs to be heard. But they are both experts. We are people watching youtube. I think that we can trust that if there is an issue then the problem probably doesn't lie in the expert who has spent over 15 years figuring this out. Please try to be compassionate. Its free and fun.

I greatly appreciate being able to watch this and I'm not trying to criticize people who are a lot smarter than myself. The only reason I brought up his repetition is because everyone was talking about her lack of professionalism and all I could see was two experts speaking, one just had better rehearsed lines is all.

I believe she does, she's just really dedicated to educating others on the skills necessary for optimum treatment of ADHD. These skills are so important that even Dr Brown has reiterated (in his previous video) they are an important aspect of treatment alongside medication. Galinsky is also optimistic about children with ADHD being able to learn these skills, Dr Brown just wants to temper that optimism with a little bit of realism about the difficulties that come with ADHD and how that can affect learning executive function skills.

However, I think after listening to him speak I know now that ADHD is what it was. I had every one of the symptoms he described except for the hyperactivity. Although I`m 77, it is great to finally find out what it was. I think Delexia is just a catch-all phrase that doesn`t exist. I became interested in space when I was 8 years old and wanted to be a scientist so started to get good marks A and B after that. In grade twelve i had become so exhausted that I couldn`t apply myself and failed English and became depressed. I still study science and even took a course in calculus.

While I found Thomas E. Brown's contribution informative, Ellen Galinsky was useless for confronting ADHD. Her advice was more geared towards all children and not ADHD specifically. She also fixated on younger kids. The one thing not addressed is that B-Mod is useless for ADHD except as scaffolding. The need never diminishes and the behaviour will not be internalized once the B-Mod is removed. They know the skills, they just can't apply them. Nutrition is not a factor of ADHD. The food allergy cited is irrelevant as it is not ADHD-related. Her comments about setting goals are ridiculous as ADHD children often set very unrealistic goals.

@theggplant

6 жыл бұрын

I agree. Even more, her advice in this particular context is actually damaging, as it reinforces the idea that it's just about parents and children finding that one technique (among "hundreds in the research") that works for them. I couldn't stand her contributions, and the fact that Thomas E. Brown had to be accommodating and constantly needing to remind the audience how it's way harder for people with ADHD. It's very unfortunate when panels like this feature people who shouldn't be there, and organizers put them there either to keep a "debate" on false pretense of a plurality of ideas, or to challenge consensus, or just because they couldn't find someone better.

Hi Mark painter - Thank you for your question. While many people are diagnosed with learning and thinking differences as children, many others are diagnosed as adults. Adult evaluations for learning and thinking differences must be completed in person by a qualified professional, like a psychologist, doctor, or learning behavior specialist. This can be done at a community mental health agencies, counseling or study skills center at a local college or university, or a local hospital-based program. Here’s some information on who can evaluate adults for learning and thinking differences: u.org/2yeNiZq If the evaluation is not covered by your insurance or if you don't have insurance, there are two other things that could help you find an evaluation at a reduced cost: 1. Find out if any local universities with graduate programs in special education or psychology have clinics that conduct evaluations. These are often offered at substantially reduced cost. 2. Check with your local county or state adult education office. They may know of private practitioners who perform evaluations on a sliding scale or at reduced cost. We hope this helps!

I understand your frustration - I admit it annoys me too when I notice it - but hopefully it doesn't make you lose respect for him completely. Academics and researchers often have to basically memorise scripts about their own research area so that they are very clear and concise when they speak. They do hundreds of talks can't come up with something new every time! But I think it probably also reduces the risk of accidentally saying the wrong thing which could potentially be very dangerous when you are speaking on such important topics

To: Tera Edwards I think he knows his subject very well. If you are easily frustrated most likely you have ADHD will be a good idea to get help!!!

this lady really has no idea what shes even talking about

I don’t see how this is gonna get me to skill-building. The women are not that serious.

Skepticism is okay though.
