One of the problems I have always had that has come with my adhd is the almost complete inability to read a book. If I do it for long enough I will eventually get through it but I fine it near impossible to actually concentrate on the text and often find myself being detracted by my own thoughts once per paragraph and have to go back and read it again. It's like having to read the book twice.

It's a cliche answer, but you need to be really invested into what you're reading. It also helps to have like little rewards for completing milestones in book. I've been reading the Dune series, and something I love doing is listening to a podcast discussing the chapter afterwards. There aren't always communities for your book, but it can help to have a group you read with. Also listening to audiobooks is helpful too. I listened to a 1/3 of Dune over audio. It's good to get yourself started reading during long stretches of time where you have nothing else to do. Long car rides, plane rides, waiting rooms etc. Put your phone away out of your pocket and just commit to reading. Push past the feeling that you aren't comprehending what you're reading and the feeling of boredom you're brain will focus back eventually.

I have a very weak memory of practically everything 1month+ ago. It's an extremely strange thing. I'm able to completely get over tremendously upsetting events soon, and also end up severing ties with people who used to be very important to me - completely unintentionally. The worst and scariest problem for me here is that I always feel like I'm in the present. When you realize your day has gone so fast because it was so fun - that's happened to basically my entire life. It feels like no time at all, and it's more than a little bit scary.

Yes this is a problem I've had for a long time. I have best described it as a brain fog or cognitive disfunction. I have depression as well, which has brain fogs as one of it's side-affects. My childhood seems but a faint vapor on the rest of my life, even the most traumatic of events seem all but gone from my memory. Daily memory tasks are all but impossible when more than three tasks are involved. That's why I never go anywhere without my phone, or I might get lost in my own "timeline". I feel like it's like I'm dragging a piece of chalk on a chalkboard and just 6 inches behind me, someone is dragging an eraser, and if I stop, they erase right up until the point of my chalk. The only thing I can say in recommendation is to write things down, and I don't just mean tasks, memories, thoughts, ideas and dreams. It's like the movie Fifty First Dates, you haven't forget, you just need to be reminded. Having a paper timeline, even if it only covers the last four years has really helped me feel grounded. I think the strangest thing for me is how well I remember my entire relationship with my ex girlfriend and how it haunted me for almost a year before I finally felt the weight lift from my chest. No other relationship has ever been on my mind longer than a month or two. Well just my story, glad to find others who got similar issues.

CSGrey - It's sad that people like you still need to assert your condition as being "real", because so many others seem to think it's just a different personality type. I've been dealing with depression for a long time and I usually try to emphasize that it's not the characteristics that define mental illness, it's the degree to which they make you're entire life a constant struggle. Lack of concentration is something I can relate to. I feel like I'm a fractured person, part of me wants to read and the other part is just wandering around different thoughts and idea's. What exactly is going on here?, I ask myself. It's like a part of me is constantly engaged in a futile battle for impulse control and unified self.

I would think an ADHD expert would know how to speak more clear to people to have it. So what the first 2 minutes told me, after rewinding 5x, is that not getting medication means you still have it as an adult bc your frontal lobes still show small after being denied medication as a child by adults. That does make sense. My parents denied me even though I knew something was wrong. I used to think I had a hearing problem as a kid but always tested perfect on hearing. Was diagnosed and treated as an adult. Medication improves but not perfect.

As someone with ADHD who is very interested in philosophy and having also have been diagnosed with high functioning Aspergers, (which is likely partially responsible for my intense interest in philosophy) I can say its very hard to be both intensely interested in subjects but not being able to fully concentrate on reading the literature and material for long periods of time without being distracted to the point I quite often forget what I was doing in the first place. This is why books are so hard for me to get through, but also why I love videos like this or shorter summarized explanations like the Stanford Encyclopedia of philosophy. I have worked at becoming a proficient reader over the years. I take very long to read because of lacking reading comprehension due to inattentiveness but once I grasp a conceptual understanding of the interrelated concepts of a subject I am very good understanding their relation to the whole. Such as the understanding of a concepts formal esscence, or in other words it's necessary and sufficient conditions. I also love the Rubik's cube, as playing with it helps me to distract my automatic intensive mode of thought so as to gain the ability to better focus my conscious mode of thought. Entering flow state is rather hard for me, but I love it all the better.

You have to learn how to release more dopamine. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how did I it.

Now having ADHD, multitasking and being able to control it makes you a force to wrecken with! xD

It strikes me though how, psychologists and psychiatrists are unaware that Gifted persons are ADHD, most of the ADHDs are intellectually gifted and have a bigger and more active brain. Because Actually, real ADHD people (the gifted ones) in my opinion, to the little knowledge I have acquired, cannot stay focused on stuff like school because school is not appropriate for their wandering minds, If they lack attention, it is because their minds are caught up in something way way wayy bigger. If they turn out to be aggressive it is because they have greater emotional intensities (as well as logical capacity). And yep people, we are not so smart, we do not know it all.

Around the same time my doctor suggested I no longer needed the small dose of Adderall and suggested that I just continue taking related supplements.

If i may be so bold as to interpret what cooldude is saying, I think he meant the following: There are many different people with many different characters. Some people have characters that would appear the same as ADHD but with a different cause, while other people actually have the brain formations typical of ADHD. These people are often mixed and wrongly diagnosed one way or the other. I still wouldn't reccomend Ritalin for the same reason i wouldn't reccomend smoking if it helped with ADHD.

Being a college student I would be curious on his opinions on study drugs like adderall

the difference is the social norm is different there, a parent there is less likely to take their kid to the doctor if he cant stay still. I wont lie, the discovery, and increase of adhd is most likely do to parents searching for something wrong with their kids, rather than excepting them for how they are. But medication has helped me concentrate and that is proof enough for me. Only thing I don't like is after a while I don't feel like the same person

He also has some hormone deficiency that makes him look about 8 years old, but he’s recently started taking hormone treatment to make him grow taller, so he’s getting taller. The problem is, it won’t fix his frontal lobe development. This kid acts like an 8-year-old, his friends are younger than him, but he’s getting bigger, which means...I’m waiting for his parents to have the problem that those of severely autistic adults have, fully-grown people throwing tantrums & stuff. He has this other really rare thing too, where his body rejects his meds. After a little while, he builds up an immunity to it and one day they’re gonna run out of drugs to try.

I think most of it is just special cases of "cabin fever" -- that feeling of being trapped in a "behavioral corset", the need to function perfectly. In such a modern corporate work and learning environment, every minor "flaw" is amplified tenfold because the system is unforgiving to any "imperfection". They forbid even cursing, which I consider one of the most important human modes of expression and the perfect stress release -- but the corporate world *wants* to stress us as much as possible.

The problem with what he said was that once the medication* amphetamines leaves the brain the effect stops he says your back to normal but thats not true there is a crash or comedown plus just because you have a short attention span doesnt mean your adhd or add sometimes normal people can develop it with prolonged use of consoles and phones etc or just stimulants in general

Is an "attention deficit" really to blame for this disorder? "ADD" and "ADHD" could simply be examples of a mental condition where one is unable in many situations to process verbal information to the level where the brain is satisfied with the interpretation (or decoding) of the verbal information in the time which is normal (no more than a few seconds). So they tend to avoid social conversations or instructions that overwhelm them, which they see as "not worth their time to think about", to the point of expressing "lack of attention" towards those things. These attitudes towards the thoughts and actions of others build up over time as a set of habits or even conscious priorities which by many social standards drive attention away from certain common day critical details or events that occur which are recognized as important in a typical functioning society. Is this really a "lack" of attention, or a different process by which attention is in fact "directed"? Some might respond to the flood of unfamilarized data by shying away (e.g. an "autism" disorder) [example: Albert Einstein when he was young], while others might respond by creating a scene or making noise to block out unwanted information (e.g. a "hyperactive" disorder) [examples: many celebrities].

It took 1hr for it to kick in since I have never been on medication before.

Stalkerx13 Learn to knit xD Knitting is proven to release dopamine.

I will only take advice from a person who has adhd, bc any doctor who explains what it is or how it feels, they do not know. If there is a doctor who has it, I'll listen to him/her.

My hyperactivity hasn’t gone away and I’m 25

"its a very complicated disorder.... Eh, its real"

It is hell. During school you can't focus and if you try its gives me fatigue. You can't socialize because you are pretty much the most annoying thing ever. Infact as i am writing this comment i should be doing my french homework.

@WildBuck007 There is a fair of amount of peer-reviewed literature providing evidence of abnormalities in certain lobes of the brain of individuals with ADD/ADHD. Two papers I found in less than a minute -> Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Selective Overview by Joseph Biederman (2005), Brain Imaging of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Giedd et al., 2006.

Very clever guy

I also notice more detail then the average person so ADHD has its good uses and bad symptoms

Other people have joked however it's quite serious that the people whom believe they will be diagnosed with ADD / ADHD will watch this video and yet it truly is a challenge to stay focused. The page of text has like 2 paragraphs that barely separate themselves from being 1 paragraph and the video is monotonous to the point where my ADD(Inattention) prevents me from learning/absorbing what the man is saying.

Some components I could competently debate. However, what clinical trial research is going on for us "Mutants" since we want to be able to think and perform on a continual basis per societal norms?

i have to present a research paper on adhd and wanted to know about in it in a little more detail,pls suggest where can i find more information about the difference in the brain of a normal person and a person with adhd

I have adhd and I do certify that I do get hyper a lot and can't focus af I take pills for it, helps hyperness tone down but adhd can be used as an advantage in a lot of stuff. For example sports the hyperness helps you run faster, think different ways to handle stuff and tries harder.

I'm listening to the video, reading the comments and typing at the same time...

You are only a child for such a small portion of your life, as a person with ADHD, the thing we should be driving home is that those children grow up to Adults with ADHD.

And people were on drugs years ago. It's called the 60's. I think there exists a condition known as ADHD because I have it, and I observe it's effects in making me behave differently. However I try to combat it's disadvantages with mental strength, and actively working to balance this offset. I don't like pharmaceutical drugs and don't take them for that reason, other people might prefer them because what I'm doing isn't the easiest or most pleasant thing.

@cooldude8912 problems, and they help you back. Moral support is vastly underestimated for things like this. I can't promise miracles, but I promise you will feel better in an undefinable way.

Exhibit A: I should be working now but instead I am watching this video.

I can't break focus on that shirt why is it glitched like that 🤣

I don’t want to get treated. my brain is like a super computer

@PoetsLight Great quote, and yes it's true.

Did anyone else notice the glare from his right hand? Is it my computer? Or their camer? The speaker is very good though.

He has a the new digital white shirt! It's all the rage in Europe I heard. Very rare, very expensive.

@WildBuck007 becoz i need to pass school if i want a good life for my self thats why i still take it most likely when im done with school ill stop taking it

Although I believe ADHD is real, I can't help but feel that a lot of people are labeled with.it when it's nothing more than.there personality.

That's because you're taking your experience and projecting it onto others. I don't even know what 'nothing more than there [sic] personality' even means. Are you suggesting that they could easily not display ADHD/ADD symptoms but yet they simply choose to? Bro you've got no idea how hard I try at work, you've got no idea how much I want the family business to succeed, yet my motivation, organisation and productivity are just fucked. I start at 8 AM and I'm quite often still in the workshop at 9 PM trying to catch up on work. You think I want to stay at work that long? Fuck no, I'm just so unproductive and absent minded that I need to work 12 hours just to get the amount of work done that others can do in 8 or less. I try really fucking hard and I just can't make it happen. Ever since I was prescribed Ritalin my symptoms are under control and I function much more like a normal person. Take your 'feeling' and shove it up your ass.

+morningstomper123 I don't understand what you're saying. The prescribing methods are not perfectly in line with the condition itself, imo. It's a well known problem: kids get labeled very quickly. This does not mean that "kids" (on-label use) are "faking" their symptoms just to get these medications, it also doesn't mean that ADHD/ADD has very specific symptoms, or a clear test which can determine whether a patient has a chemical imbalance or mental condition. DSM-IV and DSM-V both have their guidelines in regards to diagnosis of ADD/ADHD and in my opinion they are specific in a vague manner (by which I mean it could lead to confusion, misinterpretation,... subjectivity when diagnosing). Just a thought: maybe the person taking his experience and projecting it onto others is you? The drug can be harmful, just as Harold Koplewicz explains. When ritalin is prescribed to a "healthy" patient, dopamine and norepinephrine levels in some parts of the brain might be over-saturated, as for a patient with ADHD, the levels might become more balanced. This over-saturation of dopamine (implying the "dopamine hypothesis" is correct) -could- lead to hostility, delusional thinking, psychosis, mania, and earlier onset of schizophrenia. Now another thing is, if you're slacking at work you might want to consider another job. If you like what you do you're going to be good at it, disregarding the fact you might have ADHD/ADD. Adjust your lifestyle, diet and exercise routine before grabbing a potent psychostimulant and viewing it as a magic pill. With most medications, and methylphenidate is no exception, come side-effects. Short term but also long term side-effects. Of course it is your physician's responsibility to see if the benefits outweigh the risks that come with taking a drug like methylphenidate. PS: This is just my non-PhD opinion, so don't shoot me if I'm wrong.

You differentiate between a chemical imbalance in the brain and a mental condition. It's almost as if you don't realise that a chemical imbalance in the brain IS a mental condition.

But a mental issue is not per say a chemical imbalance. This only the biological point of view.

@PoetsLight Exactly!! ADHD does not make you dumber, it just makes it harder to use all the synapses your brain makes.

Our brains just work differently. not a dis order

That greenscreen affect on the white is really irritating to the eyes.

Just because it is a business doesn't invalidate the patients need for the medicine. Some "disorders",e.g. the plethora of anxiety disorders, probably should not be seen as a disorder, but I do not believe (correctly diagnosed) ADHD is one of them.

but if it makes you angry and antisocial, is it REALLY worth it?

@cooldude8912 lease stress and tension. I highly recomend it. Furthermore find a confidant. Someone who you can help with theiir

why the hell is his right hand and shirt so shiny?

Yup, I'm ADD. Trying to pay attention to this guy but I would rather read the comments.

The probem with ADHD is that you will hate adapting to society. Thats the difficult part. I love myself, but i am not accepted in society because of my way of beeing. High energy - nonono, you need to adapt! Take it SLOOOW. I tried drugs, but i get a doped effects, and it eliminates my creative side. They want me to ADAPT! Its because i have a diagnosis that i am this way, and its against the norms. Thats the worst part.
