PTSD & ADHD: Comparing Symptoms, Behaviors & Co-Effects (with Nicole Brown, M.D.)

"Traumatic stress can worsen ADHD symptoms. What we know from the literature out there is that between 10 and 17 percent of trauma-exposed children meet ADHD criteria. Have the co-occurance of each actually worsens the effect of the other." - Nicole M. Brown, M.D.

    Well, this makes a lot more sense then. I was never diagnosed with ADHD as a child. My elementary and middle school days were pre-9/11. High School was post-9/11. Back then I was just an antsy child. I couldn’t sit still at my desk and teachers hated it. After two tours of duty in Iraq, I was diagnosed with PTSD. No wonder my life flew off the rails in 2010. A combination of both those conditions threw me for a loop.

    Adhd in a long term can become a PTSD as adhd person living for a long time in hostile environment can develop it too.

    100% right, known folk who cover the top of their head like they had a helmet on, in combat. They just dealt with guns fired all around them in the bad areas. Usually, these people have dealt with drive bys and turn out the lights when they think one is going to occur or if they hear gun shots. Then there are people who adjusted to loud noises. It is odd. Ghettos are known for giving PTSD to citizens, willfully or not.

    Please be cognizant that ptsd - big T traumas are not equal to c-ptsd which are chronic little t traumas over time.

    I definitely wouldn’t associate C PTSD, as “little traumas” because they are sustained traumas habitually over and over through a duration of time. That is going to impact so heavily, and in my opinion, more dramatically than one single, isolated traumatic event.

    @@EvolvementEras I think we are agreeing using different words. I used the chronic and you used sustained. I guess I’m my mind, they mean the same thing. Definitely agree they are separate and they do impact the nervous systems and how we regulate. My personal experience and opinion is that cptsd requires the brain to reword in a more complicated way than a sudden big trauma would.

    c-ptsd comes from repeatedly experiencing trauma, regardless of little or big T. The intensity of the trauma is irrelevant to the distinction between a ptsd and c-ptsd diagnosis.
