I think an ADHD & ASD assessment should be done on every child before they start school. Knowing that your brain works in a different way could be a life changing event for a lot of kids. Maybe, it would keep some kids out of jail and off drugs. I was undiagnosed till 59 and, my life has been a roller-coaster ride straight through hell.

The evidence in the Tylenol Autism cases was found to be inadmissible in court, because none of the expert witnesses could offer a sound scientific methodology to link autism and Tylenol. My family has recognizable autistic traits going back to the Old World, long before Tylenol was around, and most people I know who are autistic can say similar things about their families.

I have autism, and ADHD and possibly OCD and C-PTSD. My main diagnosis is Avoidant Personality disorder. These wonderful problems were discovered when I was 61 years old. I'm unable to have adult personal relationships. This leaves me alone and depressed. I turn 70 this year. I Don't know if anyone understands loneliness like I do. I don't know if it's genetic or not, but no one's in danger of inheriting any thing from me. My disorders prevented that.

I'm autistic too, I've been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder with obsessive-compulsive traits, persistent depressive disorder, intellectual giftedness and I'm also candidate for avoidant personality disorder diagnosis (and sometimes I also suspect having ADHD). I'm 27, and a couple months ago I went through a traumatic experience about romantic relationships (basically unrequited feelings, as it has always been) and now I'm totally afraid of acquaintances, but at the same time the idea of ending up lonely terrifies me. I think I can grasp a little bit of your experience, but I wish you to find a way out of loneliness very soon.

Same happened with me. DX bipolar ii. Meds messed me up. They decided to INCREASE THE DOSAGE. felt worse. Moved cities and eventually tried again. Now dx ADHD-C. Previous psychiatrist still thought I had bipolar on top of it and gave me mood stabilizers which made me worse. New psychiatrist took me off mood stabilizers and took off the bipolar DX. ADHD treatment has done me better than anything anxiety or bipolar related

My family (Great Aunt, cousin, sister) on my mother's side has schizophrenia and I'm diagnosed with MDD and anxiety. My children both have autism, with my daughter also having ADHD. This is so eye opening 😢

I wish Dr Tracey could assess me. I have a slew of disorders: Bipolar 1, CPTSD, anxiety, ADHD, & Substance Use Disorder. I self medicated with illicit drugs for 20yrs before a psychiatrist actually listened to me after 6 voluntary & 1 involuntary commitment.

It was first brought to my attention that I might have ADHD at my son’s assessment and I was not even speaking. I was floored. That was about 10 years ago. I just started treatment this year.

I thought it weird that I was in my late 50s before my diagnosis was changed from major depressive disorder to bipolar disorder, fortunately Type 2. This explains what was going on with me. I now take two antidepressants and a mood stabilizer. I was depressed as a child but my mother’s shame was such that I had to reach the age of majority, get my own health card and seek treatment. She was unmoved by a suicide attempt. Fortunately for people suffering today the mental health stigma of yesteryear has largely subsided.

Dr Marks you have made more since in the 1st 5 mins of this video than anyone I’ve ever spoken with. Thank you. ❤

My mom has heavy ADD. Was traumatized as a child. I feel I carry these traits. I had terrible anxiety over a decision all week, now I’m depleted. Can barely get anything done. My son has Autism and ADHD. I cannot sleep long, I awake at 2am. He gets all the supports, while acts out a lot, discipline issues, he’s doing very well.

My mom developed schizophrenia in her 40s (2000) and we just found out that one of my cousins who's mentally disabled also developed schizophrenia during the pandemic. 😔😓 now I'm thinking that genetics has something to do with it.

I can say, that my drug experimentation as a teen definitely triggered my anxiety/depression. I just thank God that I was not predisposed to develop Bi Polar or Schizophrenia.

A better analogy I learned at university is the horse and the rider. The horse is the genetics, it has its one temperament etc. But the rider is the one leading the horse to a certain place, and it can change the horse a lot. Both interact with each other, but the rider is leading the way.

Just been to a psychiatrist today. Methotrexate worsened my pre-existing negative, hopeless or violent thoughts, and I've had these once before to the point I had to take an antidepressant. Nobody in my family has an established mental health diagnosis but me. Yet, my grandmother tried to kill herself once and poorly controls her anger, while one of her daughters displayed a lot of signs of something. Yet, she could only be tricked into visiting a psychiatrist once - he thought it was maybe borderline personality disorder. I don't think my problems will ever go away without medication, sadly. It's a good thing I'm unlikely to have children. Living with my "unique" brain is taxing. Oh, well. Instead of a cat I'm not allowed to own by the landlords, I get to know someone named fluvoxamine. I guess it'll have to do.

I'm bipolar been only lately diagnosed so, after so much pain and misery of repetitive depression episodes, I m almost 40 and I have made the decision to never reproduce , and I thank myself for this

Making sure I get proper food intake and exercise are huge in managing my symptoms. I'm 34 and just now mastering my health. NEVER GIVE UP!

I think that's gonna be highly contingent upon the diagnostician. In my mental health practice we base diagnosis off symptoms not on family history. With bipolar you wouldn't diagnose someone simply because they reported a manic episode either you've have to have witnessed the person in this phase or other mental health professionals. I've seen many malingerers claiming to have mental health conditions on accounts of run ins with the police & so forth so it's something we're very mindful of - ie people using mental illness as a defence. I've yet to work with a psychiatrist that diagnosed purely based on family history. The main problem appears to be in the physical health domain where a physical illness is subject to diagnostic overshadowing - ie someone who actually has anaemia is instead told they're going through a depressive episode. Of course both could be true but I see physical health symptoms being dismissed a lot especially if you have a severe & enduring mental illness. I am one such person.

These vids are great tools that supplement my ongoing counseling

For me it has brought no clarity as I appear to occupy this grey zone between autistic & neurotypical as I understand social situations implicitly (ie I don't meet the DSMS core deficits but I have contentions about the biomedical model as it operates under the presupposition that we're all one homogeneous group). Autism is very likely a number of different neuridivergencies that share underlying aietiogies & genes whereas some don't. So effectively they could be different phenotypes altogether). Do you think your family members all present the same or are there differences? I believe my great aunt was autistic but a completely phenotype to myself and thus cognitively the antithesis to myself, I probably have more in common with neurotypicals; she was very black/white in her thinking, was obsessed with routines, rigid, struggled with societal interactions but had no sensory issues or executive dysfunction. I'm the complete opposite to this. I've found most people acceptive of their diagnosis but for me it's just raised more questions than it's answered. I never should have pursued the diagnosis when I was severely depressed.

Thankyou so much for making this, ive been trying to convince my family for years to get assessed for their ADHD and they refuse to do anything about it because they are allowing themselves to stay trapped in that stubborn belief that they can do and must do everything without any help. So they can get the maximum possible achievement sense and thus more dopamine to convert into norepinephrine to increase executive function, but of course that doesn't always work. And the older we become the harder it will become, because unfortunately we cannot stay so busy to compensate for the lack of norepinephrine conversion anymore.

I find that depression runs strong in my family. My mom had it i have it and my daughter has it

Thank you for the information. I wasn't diagnosed with bipolar until later in life. I was misdiagnosed with depression and also ADHD because I had racing thoughts. Although my psychiatrist knew I was a recovering addict, he put me on Adderall, which eventually led to a two-year relapse on meth. I know I should have told my doctor that Adderall was making me crave meth, and I accept full responsibility for my relapse. I am now on lithium and have been clean and sober for over 10 years.

The part about correlating symptoms to when you eat is a bit narrow. I had constant symptoms of random pains, horrific word recall (I'd forget multiple words per sentence multiple times a day, to the point I'd just have to hope people understood me because I couldn't think of replacement words., horrible periods that were 1 week of feeling miserable, 1 week to recover, one week to rest, and 1 week of pms.) When my dad threw all the soy in our house out, (and consequently a lot of other additives) my life changed. I had energy, my period is down to one day of pms and one day of crappy period, random pains are mostly gone. Etc. I was diagnosed with adhd two years ago (I'm 41). I also have joint hypermobility which preliminary research shows correlates with adhd and also hormone differences and sensitivity. I wish I could be a part of some sort of study, I want to call a "double blind case study" where doctors could help me figure out what causes my issues specifically, but they'd rather have an ego about it and prance around about how it's not soy. Ok, then what (combination of factors) is it? I'm not brave enough to test unless I'm certain I can get reliable results (i don't want to go through those symptoms for nothing, and they definitely come back if I eat "normal" food again), And double blind would be great to ease those fears. I know our current system can't afford to actually help patients learn because greedy people need 20 boats (go team orca!), but doctors should still be empathetic to my experience, right? (I've had a few better ones recently, but a lot of bad ones). That turned into a vent. But yeah, sometimes just stop eating additives because you haven't tried it yet and nothing else worked might help you. Natural food stores still make eating possible.

Thanks

Became a psychiatrist with my untreated ADHD. Did have recurrent major depression seasonal component, generalized anxiety, burnout, well hidden OCD issues prior to that. But I had no idea. That was 4 years ago. Then they treated my cPTSD and then focused on my ADHD again. Deal with (c)PTSD first I’d say. There sadly are always things to what out for. My ADHD probably is also comorbid ASD. Funny thing is it helps to be a better psychiatrist in quite a number of ways although I wouldn’t recommend it.
