I've been on stimulant medication for three weeks now and only once have I gotten overwhelmed and felt myself losing control. Before this, having to leave a situation due to feeling my anger surface was a daily occurance.

When growing up I was incredibly sensitive to negative thoughts and always managed to convince myself of the worst (e.g., I will never be able to have a functioning relationship... ever). However, due to my determination I managed to master my emotions by what can be described as self-administered cognitive behavioural therapy, basically always asking the question: "is this really true and how would a normal people react", any time I was overwhelmed by negative thoughts. I soon realised that the root of my emotions was purely my own thoughts, and armed with this knowledge I simply altered my thoughts and attitudes (the CBT part) toward difficult situations. I became a master of this, and after 20 years, I am more emotionally stable than most of my peers. This I managed to do without medication (or a diagnosis) and the effects are permanent. It was my inability to focus on work (when I got bored) that prompted me to finally get a diagnosis and medication - this is something that I never could achieve by "mindfulness". The point of this story. There is a way to gain full control of your emotions (without medication) with CBT (even when it is self-administered) and mindfulness, but it is extremely hard; it took me 10-15 years and enormous amounts of self-discipline (though some of it can also be attributed to just "growing up"). But I had decided, so I had to follow through and now I don't regret anything and can live the rest of my life as a balanced human being in a very healthy relationship.

In many years of studying, and working with ADHD I haven't seen this specific topic discussed in this way. It's a bit of a bombshell really. In some ADHD people, most of the distraction is actually emotional. You might never know it by looking at them because they seem super calm and quiet. Some lack the emotional self-regulation to let go of the rising thoughts that are emotionally distracting. It's a very important and major aspect of ADHD for the duration of the disorder. Mindfulness meditation helps if done very consistently and correctly because they learn to let thoughts and emotions pass by. Through directly observing thoughts and emotions they learn to be mindful of them instead of reacting or continuing them.

Fascinating! I have also recently learned the same symptoms can often show up as a result of extensive childhood trauma (such as results in CPTSD). And/or as a result of genetic anomalies (some of which can be ameliorated) - which can be the primary cause or a comorbid cause. The computer test for irregular response time variability, for example, diagnosed me as ADHD; but it turns out CPTSD can cause the same neurological symptom, as can genetic anomalies. The gene anomaly MTHFR - which prevents most uptake of B vitamins by poor methylation, starving the brain of them - greatly increases reactivity and aggressiveness. Gene anomaly COMT impedes normal clearing of cortisol through the liver, so in that case, emotional regulation is hampered by stress from running continually high levels of cortisol, week after week, month after month, for years and decades on end. Poor sense of time, focus, memory, cognition, all are affected by the continual trauma causing CPTSD, and I suspect the genetic conditions as well. I'd like to see a decent sized study on how many people diagnosed with ADHD also have MTHFR or COMT. And how many are also diagnosed with a history of childhood trauma or CPTSD (a recent concept, I know).

This answers so many questions for me, out of all my difficulties with ADHD I found emotions to be the most crippling. I had a late diagnosis at 54 three years ago, after stopping drinking at 52 after a lifetime of daily drinking.

My grandmother said she never had perimenopause symptoms - she just stopped having her period. I speculate she had ample B vitamins in her system. I can't know for sure, but my mom said I was starting 5 years too early based on her experience. I can't help but wonder if hormone replacement is really the best option...maybe we all just need more B vitamins. They seem to have worked for me.

This was extremely useful in assessing disorders. I have what appear to be me to be both combined ADHD and autistic traits, as well as a range of what would be considered comorbid traits. Given that I am an older adult who will be assessing for ADHD soon, it will help me navigate the DSM criteria, which both I and my psychiatrist recognize as being, well, imperfect. I'm in my early 60s with various traits, some presenting like combined ADHD, some presenting like autism, some comorbid indications, that have worsened since 50. Amygdala/CNS/fight/flight/freeze is a central element. My parents both had undiagnosed disorders, and my mother definitely had more emotional regulation problems when dealing with menstruation and menopause. ETA: wow, I am not usually this redundant.

@@falconbritt5461 Thanks! I went and copied it into my notes. I've become increasingly aware that the standard observational model of evaluation is pretty haphazard and can lead to a lot of misdiagnosis. Even many conditions themselves are a guessed-at aggregation of behaviors that have been given a particular name. I expect that in the next 50-100 years mental health evaluation will transition heavily to a physiological-test based system that will make current techniques of assessment look ridiculous and primitive, and will result in a massively different approach to defining individual conditions. I won't be around to see it, alas; it's one of very few things I wish I could stick around for. Even now it would be possible to better bridge the gap between mental and physical health care, but at least where I am in the US that seems to be a bright white line. So I end up learning about most of the links on my own, like this. The glucocorticoid-clearing difficulties you mentioned were very interesting. I "come down" very slowly, and my amygdala must be overly hefty. Based on lectures by Robert Sapolsky, I have felt certain for some time that my mother had a predisposition to high glucocorticoids that she may have gotten in utero from her mother, and that I certainly did from her. Sapolsky did not get into the specific physiologic processes that produce and maintain that predisposition, however; the lecture series is over a decade old and covered a lot of ground. My father had classic ADHD behaviors. And I have traits of both. All three of us always chased dopamine, or something to that effect, so some physiological shortfall definitely drove all our behaviors. Kind of mental health pica.

Thank you Dr. Barkley, for sharing your long years of research, teaching and keeping your awesome motivation to help ADHD patients over decades. I don't know why they took emotional dysregulation out of the DSM. I've had psychiatrists 30 years ago tell me I had bipolar and not ADHD. I spent decades suffering and feeling like I just couldn't measure up. The antipsychotics were awful and there came a time in my 40's when I broke down and couldn't work. I am recovering from that trauma slowly. I listen to all your lectures. Thank you so much.

i will forever be grateful to this man for his books and research. he's helped me and family so much.

As an instructor at a employment training program, I have found this information to be invaluable. Thank you!

This is more relevant data for me personally than any other ADHD material I have digested. I was diagnosed in 2nd grade. It was the 80's. Im 42 now and I can finally relate to this. Amazing. Thank you I'm not interested in the drugs portion of this. But the content about emotions is uncanny.

I think this is such an important subject, and I am amazed how connected (and often omitted or under explored) emotion regulation is. It's a huge part of my ADHD and functioning in every day situations. One I completely didn't expect as well.

Sorry to hear about your car accident & injuries! I hope you recover soon. 50 yo wife & mother of 3 & v much agree with emotional disregulation as I struggle with it daily. But I suspect there are physical health issues causing it that if mitigated would largely make the emotional disregulation go. For example, poor sleep, mental & physical fatigue and low energy levels, brain fog and poor digestion. For me those are all chronic problems and they most definitely preceed the emotional dis regulation, anger, depression, anxiety - largely because I feel I frequently struggle to keep up with the physical & mental demands of a regular day in a way other people don’t. It feels v similar to chronic fatigue except it is not as constant or debilitating as full on chronic fatigue, as if there is a rare occasion I get a good night’s sleep or am feeling well for a few days then the chronic fatigue goes along with the brain fog, which I assume is brain inflammation.

@@jimwilliams3816 great insight ! Clonodine can be used in the day if needed I know some people they have it prescribed over the day in divided doses . In the morn I take the intuiv and strattera . My daughter does a second strattera at lunch . It does help with the noradrenaline too . Also couid team with SSRI .. ask the psychiatrist. I said vantages going to them over a GP of find a functional doc . Julia Ross book “ mood cure “ is definitely worth a read or an adhd read lol I listened to her on KZread and implemented her amino acid therapy. Vagus nerve exercises and ashwaghanda KM66 strain or GABA are immensely helpful .. seek advice

A Brilliant session; so well explained and ever so more relevant, in the world today!

Good Health to you Dr Barkley!

So grateful for this webinar! Thank you 😊

Dr. Barkley is incredible.

I did not know I needed this. This right here much. Right now. Big thanks for speaking to us here, especially given circumstances. 4:43

Thanks for this

Thank you! I’ve listened to a lot of your videos Dr Barkley. I was first diagnosed with adhd at 14yrs old. I didn’t get the treatment I needed, and now at 30 yrs old, I have an almost 3 year old and almost 4 year old. My 4 year old is struggling, I can see how changing parenting styles can help the child, as I’ve been doing positive parenting for a little over a year now. Their dad I believe has undiagnosed adhd. I’m sure of it. His reactions are always so extreme, but a lot of progress has been made. I’m actually having him listen to your videos, and I wish they were time stamped like with chapters or something. I’ve used up a lot of my phones storage to store screen recordings so he can listen to.

The videos are time stamped. Check the description.

My daughter showed signs of adhd hyperactivity and emotional dysregulation before age one. On play dates the moms would ask if I drank coffee before I nursed, if she was tired or hungry. She was so driven, disruptive, destructive and fast (walking by 8 months old). Thank god she was ridiculously cute or we would have been driven out of every event and school we attended. Add to that the child would not sleep. She would stay up all night long if allowed, fell asleep long after I did most nights. Thank god for books on tape and keeping it pitch black in the house, she usually stayed next to me doodling or tossing and turning. I had an inclination as to what it may be as I’d been diagnosed as a teen. Still not taking it seriously it took until she was nearly five for me to get serious treatment, holistic interventions were not working. She was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD. Based on her presentation in the Drs office and the diagnosis sessions the clinician said they don’t know how I lasted this long. At 11 years old I’m happy to report that both she and I have been treated for our adhd, therapy and meds for me, jujitsu, piano and meds for her. Our quality of life has improved to levels I never thought possible. No more outbursts, destruction, impatience. We communicate light years beyond what was possible before, our level of joy is palpable. Where as before it was nonexistent. If you are on the fence about treatment… there are FAR more benefits than risks, at least there have been for us. She’s able to make friends, I’m able to make appointments and to work on time. We laugh ten times more than we yell. And yelling is quickly followed by an apology, and statement of what feelings we experienced that took us over the edge. The grounded ness and respect are overwhelming and I’m grateful 10 times a day that I didn’t give up before I found the just right thing for us… onward and upward… best to you…

Awesome talk! Informative.

I’m about to turn 41 and was just diagnosed last week with adhd. I suspected it in the last couple of years but finally burnt out and became so dysfunctional that I no longer could do normal life. So much of what is said in this lecture has resonated with me. I was basically begging for help with my emotional dysregulation especially after having kids and was told it’s “normal”, but was diagnosed with anxiety, and the meds did help the internal angst but I still regularly got over stimulated and lost my shit. My husband would always reprimand me for my emotional immaturity and blamed me for influencing the kids to act out in the same way. I feel so seen with this and just want to take this lecture and shuv it in everyone’s face and say see I needed help and you told me it was “normal” from a medical perspective while my husband keeps telling me I’m not normal. Thank you for this

I was locked in and zoned in for like 5 mins dr you transported me to another universe when you were talking about the anatomy & neurobiology of ADHD. You made me release happy chemicals

Thank you for this. As an adult with ADHD, I made it through about half of it, but I intend to watch the rest as well

I really appreciate all this useful information. ❤ thank you from Spain

Thanks so much Doc, I appreciate your insights and expertise, you are a very cool 😎 guy

I am at 27 minutes and 39 seconds in to the video. And I am compelled to stop the video to speak here now. I have been searching for answers to my daughter’s troubles from when she was little. I took her to several Psychiatrists, And to her at the University of Miami diagnosed with Nonverbal learning disability. I searched high and low for professional help with that but it didn’t really exist back then. But in hindsight this video tells me it was clearly ADD. The very first psychiatrist I took her to said she’s got ADD and wanted to give her medication. She was still very little I did not want to believe it was a ADD I could not see it was ADD and I definitely did not want her taking pharmaceutical drugs unless it was absolutely clear. Things went downhill. I took her to psychologists and more psychiatrist circle back to talk with the guy that diagnosed her with Nonverbal learning disability. The school system was more hurtful than helpful. She tried to commit suicide like three times and she told me she tried and even told me how she intended to do it. She had 3 plans. She told me in detail one of them I had no flipping idea what to do. She started doing drugs. She had no boundaries I sent her to a Lockdown facility one time. The courts sent her to rehab facilities. I now understand those places are pretty much a joke… that’s not very funny. She was smart, she was beautiful, she made friends so easily. She had a violent side verbally and physically. I didn’t know how to help but tried everything. I was contemplating moving out of the country with her. But I had no more energy to pull that together. Every day there was a drama and/or a disaster. she had so much potential….. she passed away in 2020 at 27 years old. I can’t stop blaming myself. But I did learn that the DSM is BS and people in the field….mostly sheep making a living. In her short life my daughter could see BS. I’m the daughter of a narcissistic mother and I was trained not to BS but I see it now. This video is excellent…. i’m going back to listen to the rest of it.

Same here, I am so glad I started educating myself on what ADHD is like for girls, it’s changing my life.

This makes so much sense for my out of control emotions....it is so out of control some times. I do adhd. But this helps me so much.

This was very good.

The way I have eventually adapted to this issue is through disassociation, which in and of itself can sometimes result in others thinking that I don’t care or am being cold. It’s a strange thing to hear especially since I remember well how I used to react to emotional stimuli when I was younger

Thank you so much Dr. Barkley!! I'm 51 and just diagnosed with ADHA and Dislexia... A very good challenge in my life!!! Your knowledge is helping me to recognize myself again... Thank you ADDitude for sharing...

Get well soon Dr Barkley

Thank you Dr Barkley as a person with ADHD I can say that you are spot on. I would also like to add another issue with emotional regulation and masking. I was not diagnosed as a child (just dyslexia). Growing up I was programmed from an NT perspective of emotional regulation. Ie extreme reactions are wrong (therefore I am wrong/broken), but I couldn’t help how I react. Because of this I would begin to attempt to hold in my internal emotions. This also led to me not talking about my emotions. I have spent my life masking and suppressing my emotions. As an adult this has culminated in a low self worth, depression and anxiety disorder, and subsequent diagnosis of ADHD (and poss ASC, on waiting list). Because of this I feel teaching the child/ young person about their diagnosis and personal profile is also key, so that they can understand why they may react some ways and find somethings difficult. Also of course focus on the positives they have and that they are not the only ones! Great talk, thank you for all your work and for still doing this talk despite your injuries and being in pain 🙏

Thank you for this talk - in a nutshell my emotional disregulation left me bedbound for years as I got ptsd and my hormones were so out of whack that then got and still have cronic fatigue , then I list all my social connections and I find it very difficult to regulate the emotional regulation part as I find I have little motivation even though I know it woukd save me . I’m not sure about the part where the doctor talks about avoiding strong emotions as I felt that I had disconnected or did this for years and then bang I couldn’t run from them anymore and I think because I hadn’t learned how to deal with emotions it just and still is a nightmare …

Thank you Dr. Russell Barkley. I’m one more person you’ve helped. I’ll do my best to past it forward and direct people to you.

So thankful for this

I am a special education teacher who did not receive an accurate diagnosis until I was almost 40. My son has been in psych care since he was 6, and is now 15. If I tried to list all of the red flags in my lifetime (prior to diagnosis) that should have been noticed, it would sound like bad fiction that is so fictional it's not believable. The same would apply to my child's 15 years on this earth so far. I managed to finally earn my masters degree yesterday so that I can try to be an advocate for children much like I was, but it's not easy. It's emotionally overwhelming when people look at you like you have 3 heads because you are referring to emotions rather than adhd. If I were not already 41 years old, I would try to go further with my formal education in hopes to do more.

How is you son ?

The reason it took so long to figure out it was emotional in a real way is because, frankly, we're not generally listened to, even when saying directly to a "normal" person what's going on, what we're experiencing, and telling them what they can do to assist us in processing the moment with them in a productive way. Nope, too much work to ask of the "normals," who forget that 95% of our lives is using enormous amounts of energy coping with a word made not by, for, about, or with the intention of serving, us.

My son was diagnosed with ADHD a few months ago. I worry that he will develop or is developing ODD but it's comforting to know that minds like Dr. Barkley are using their time and talents to help us as a society. Keep loving yourself unconditionally and those in your life affected with this and take it one day at a time. You're not alone.

This is such a wonderful information to the public since therapy can be so hard to access for this kind of problems and their is so much miss-regulation when it comes to miss dose people with the wrong medications if they are really needed for some people.

I wish could see you personally, I am sorry your ribs are broken. Thank you so much for this lecture. You're the first person who has nailed exactly what I experience.. I very much appreciate your work. I so wish I could have you to be my Dr. Everything got 10 times worse after spinal cord injury, stroke, and brain injuries. I can't take the negligence and denied medical care, bad treatment from supposed medical professionals..I also have a failed medical device for corrected developmental physical condition. I wish so bad that I could be your patient and get REAL, MEDICAL CARE for all of these things. I know you are retired...but I wish. I am not getting care I need.

Yes, and free, too. It’s great.

I've been writing the same list for 3 years I hate myself that I can't just check off my to-do and be done . Me and my fiance separated after 20 years together living the American Dream. Wish I knew what I do now.... I've gone through every emotion there is .

I am just now, at age 56, discovering that what I have experienced my entire life, seems to have been undiagnosed ADHD. For me it is 90% the emotional stuff and not so much unnatentive...or maybe I just dont realize how unattentive I am because...I am not paying attention? LOL. For me, I also find that essentially every single instance of outburst of NEGATIVE emotions is based on 'Injustice'. But I find that what makes it worse and what causes my explosive outburst is that I am SOOO profoundly passionate about that injustice but there are no human words to describe my reasoning behind that injustice which in turn is also indescribably frustrating thus creating this loop of extreme frustration that can't be contained because no one is understanding me and they are placating me with hesitant agreeance just to calm me down. I belive though that this type of passion against injustice is often what is needed to make change. Somebody needs to stand up and say something or at least set barriers against it to self protect. So I mostly consider it a Super Power and am going to work on at least not frightening the people around me with the extreme outburst but balance it with a stonch 'digging my heels in' for change.

How do you know if it is emotional dysregulation from mood disorder such as Cyclothymia/Bipolar or from ADHD? Thank you Dr. Barkley for your wealth of knowledge on this disorder.

Fascinating. I wonder how this emotional dysregulation differs from complex ptsd and borderline personality disorder? Thx.

I mentioned this years ago and posted it on an adhd forum not one person had meltdowns in the relms of fight flight or freeze! I was doubting it was adhd and I've been mis d/x'ed with bipolar and bpd!

Interesting info, but it did seem odd to watch a lecture on emotional dysregulation that barely touched on bpd. Mood disorders were addressed, but as bpd is a personality disorder, factors like emotions not being triggered by events weren’t really relevant. Especially given the high comorbidity between adhd and what some have considered re-naming emotional dysregulation disorder, I would have liked to see this connection explored.

While on a birth control pill, my psychologist told me he was concerned that I had quick-cycling bipolar disorder. I was diagnosed by my GP with an anxiety disorder and put on an SSRI which sort of helped but mostly just made me a zombie. I quit my anxiety meds and birth control and went back to my "normal" of having strong emotions that I had to work to keep under control, but no bipolar-like symptoms. Didn't realize I was ADHD until my late 30s, but this DESR component explains SO MUCH.

As someone who was diagnosed later in life (37), the lack of emotional regulation is definitely the most devastating part of ADHD for me. I've managed to mask or make coping mechanisms for many other aspects of my condition, but no matter what i do it's SO HARD to regulate how I feel. Even when I logically know a certain feeling isn't appropriate, or is 'silly', or that it's spiralling, I just can't get myself out of it. The logical part of my brain will literally be like "this is unnecessary, someone only said/did x, there's no reason to be crying/getting angry over this very tiny thing", but it's like I just can't control myself. I at least understand when I'm in the wrong and can apologise and explain my behaviour to understanding family and friends, but it doesn't lessen that feeling of helplessness that I'm not able to even listen to myself.

I really appreciate you for this ADHD guidelines and information for us living in East Asia (Pakistan and India)

Wow! When the 73 yo question came up I it was good for me to get the support to continue moving through the treatment.

Surely, for pretty well all social settings, ANY socially aware person with ADHD learns (due to social reactions and even punishments) to suppress emotional reactions as a FIRST response. This may well lead to further emotional disregulation later on, e.g. the spouse that eventually "snaps" and uses the kitchen knife, or the successful business person that suddenly decides life is too dull and takes to drink, etc. These don't become stereotypes through rarity, but because these or similar responses are relatively common. Midlife crises, divorces after decades together, suicides - might they not all be linked?

@fearchar998

Жыл бұрын

To take it a stage further, could it not be that the apparent "inattentiveness" is simply the distraction that results from the mental effort being put into suppressing those emotions? Could it be that the documented instances of lack of attention to numbers, for example, is due to the effort expended on suppressing emotions, and this is why people hate filling in tax returns? Does the same not hold for the frequent inability to retain verbal instructions - that suppressing the emotional response to instructions (and there is that unwillingness to accept authority) overwhelms the individual's capacity before all the instructions are received?

Oh my goodness yes. This would explain so much! Hope this research continues to dig in deep

Is it possible that somewhere deep in the subconscious there is resistance to improving and changing away from ADHD? For example, the subconscious for someone older like myself (age 70) is comfortable and familiar with the status que of ADHD.
