“This is no gift.” Damn straight it isn’t. Being unable to tear my attention away from something, unable to feel time passing, is maddening. I lose so many hours at work and in my personal life lost in a task that doesn’t deserve the amount of time and attention I’m giving it.

Wow, this spoke to me like nothing else I’ve heard on ADHD. I’m a newly diagnosed 38yr old woman. Emotional regulation- brilliant.

At the time I was not diagnosed, and are taking to learn more about my ADHD and Autism diagnosis.' The part about emotional regulation resonates with me so much.

This is so true about me. I can't even believe it!! A few years ago I was given Stratera. I liked the weight loss but didn't feel that it worked for my ADHD.

I was with him until the stuff on hyperfocusing. It's truly one of the ADHD blessings. I can go longer and harder than the normies. I solve problems others can't. It's what makes me a valuable employee.

If the conditions are right. In my everyday life, I hate it. I can sometimes read every label of food in an food isle of food I'll never even buy and never planned ro buy. Miss the movie theatre because I was cleaning my kitchen, and kept ckeaning the same spot over and over again as if in a trans state. Missing every highway exit because I was too focus on the car in front so that I could break if he hits the breaks. I could go on and on. It's more debilitating than anything else.

@@1yoan3 Most relatable comment I've read today (and that seems to be this morning's hyperfocus subject, so that's been a lot) especially the bit about reading every label and not buying a damn thing. "Debilitating" is the word in my mind most often when noticing how my ADHD is hindering me from accomplishing a certain goal. And it's all immensely frustrating.

Mmmmm. Idk hyper focus is both a gift and a curse. But interesting view.

Hyperfocus doesn't always mean you should have gone on to something more important. At all. I have a terrible time getting started, but once started, I can stay on task for extremely long periods, not always to the point where I should have shifted focus.

The emotional part didnt really hit me as hard as the difficulty engaging in tasks I am not interested in.

Hi, thanks for the video. In the US do you happen to know or can point me towards links that identify who are considered the top active subject matter experts or institutions most engaged in research / treatment in ACC dysfunction? I was diagnosed with Alexithymia after 30 years misdiagnosed as depression when in fact the default mode was high anxiety but was oblivious to it. Deep TMS helped start neural growth through increased blood flow to that area of the limbic system and 18 months later, a high stress traumatic event unblocked my emotions overnight, although anxiety is still difficult to recognize. Numerous prior SPECT Scans, QEEG’s etc confirmed ACC Dysfunction as I am in constant flux between rt and left brain. Generally life is good but my ADHD and OCD (rumination of all the uncompleted tasks I've procrastinated for months) is a huge negative factor personally and financially. I'm trying to tap into the right people to see if they can help as it is next to impossible to find effective care beyond top level thinking due to lack of expertise. Any ideas?

so that is the difference between ACC and the orbitofrontal cortex ? their fuction looks the same

Hyper focus, why 'should' you behave in a convenventional manner when societal norms are just so dull.

It helps to take on those things that bring on our emotions. I have ADHD and if I notice such things I work on it until I can't be triggered by it anymore. Over exposure, that is listen to a laugh track helped me face people laughing at me. Took me about an hour.

BIOCHEMICAL IMBALANCE? The term implies that there exists a measurable state of biochemical balance. The fact is no such state exists. The biochemistry of the brain, of the central nervous system, is in a state of ongoing ebb and flow, wax and wane, flux. One set of neurochemical proportions gives way to another, then another, then another, and so on. Anger is characterized by one set of chemical proportions, happiness by another. But within any episode of anger, at any given moment in the episode, the brain's chemistry may be different than it will be one second later or was one second before. Furthermore, the biochemistry of anger or any other emotion varies from person to person. What then does it mean that a person has a biochemical imbalance? Relative to what?

From a scientific view his statements are absolutely credible because transmitter concencentration and related receptor density are highly likely inheritable traits directly in play with brain development. Also if you care to look at further videos from Russell Barkley he also states that, while medication is the most helpful and impacting step, structuring the living environment and workplace are a necessary help too. If you compare the costs of ever new released anti depressants and neuroleptics that often cost a fortune the use of Methylphenidate (which is ass old compared to newer stuff like SSRI's) is actually a rather cost efficient treatment. You should also take into account that untreated ADHD/ADD and it's comorbidities may cause exceptionally high costs for stationary treatment in affected individuals and thus causing high expenses to either the society (public welfare) or the individual itself (private insurance + deductible). In my country stationary treatment costs like 3 000 to 4 000 thousand bucks a month, so avoiding that with medication for like 200 bucks a year is cost efficient if it's done right. I don't know whether you are american or not, got a health insurance or not because it doesn't matter much. Sure unloading financial responsibilities onto the individual may seem favorable, but with limitations in income there's only so much additional expenses you can bear and ADHD/ADD itself is a pretty high risk factor for low income. We are talking about people (including myself, I am officially diagnosed as an adult) that strive to their best yet fail often, could you imagine trying hard to the best of your knowledge yet still fail because your overall perception of reality and self control are impaired heavily causing said failures?
