Aren’t all brains different?

People with ADHD do not hurt other people; however people with Narcissism do.

Again, how could methamphetamines affect this? Disclaimer, I'm not a methamphetamines advocate. I'm just curious for experimental reasons.

Got one for you. How would smoking methamphetamines affect those areas of the brain with someone who had adhd vs. someone who doesn't?

Adulting.

Luckily, the drivers on my bus route start blaring their horns a few feet before they stop for me when they see I’m not looking in their direction.

SQUIRREL

Lies!

Thank you. I am weary of burning food because I forget I am cooking. Ugh.

I wonder if you could tell me if there are any medications for me (age 72) Ive had to drop coffee after noon because it now seems to take my system 12 hours to process the caffeine out of my body so I can sleep. Yikes! Or maybe a double-blind research study on my age group with ADHD. ?

Chicks picked a lot of brains.....

What’s on your shirt

In any case whether ADHD or neurotypical, going solo without timely input from others (teachers, parents, friends, spouses etc) is the issue. No one has all the answers and a mixed pool of neuros goes a long way in life (learning, strategic defence, health and staying connected). Going solo is beneficial at first for a period of healing and grounding; going too long alone can be "damaging" for lack of input and connections. What's not highlighted is the ADHD may be the perfect aunt or uncle agony in an extended family or an informal consultant dispensing insights in a hobby or work group. That's what groups are for however imperfect.

Claire you are stunningly beautiful 😊

I had to rewatch this 4 times because I kept getting distracted. 😂😅

Is a difficult birth going to raise your chance of being ADD?

I’m sorry, I got distracted 😂

I’ll say it, she’s absolutely gorgeous.

Better

I’ve also heard the default mode network called the “demon” (DeMoN).

No D.........except different....society's issue not ours.

Interesting about the default mode network. I have a son with diagnosed ADHD, and I suspect I may have it too. I have many other psychological issues and diagnoses. I am also a heavy user of Psilocybin and N, N-DMT, both of which suppress the default mode network and allow for more neuroplasticity. I've been having problems with attentiveness for decades now. Those drugs really help my depression and moods in between experiences, but I'm curious as to what else they are doing, good or bad.

The doctor's desciption of her mattress buying event (a challenging for anybody, but much more so for distractables) was so familiar I laughed out loud. Thank god there are no helpful sales people around when I try to decide between Rye or Whole Wheat. Pro tip: always use the bathroom before going shopping, lol.

The things described in this video as things a person using a hypo-active ventral system, would fail to notice, are precisely the things that I DO notice, because they sufficiently stimulate my survival alert system to grab my attention. What I fail to notice are the repetitive, background things that I NEED to notice but which are just not novel or scary or interesting enough to stand out for me. My gas gauge, for example. Or the chart next to the punch clock at work, that tells me when I’ll be taking my breaks that day. A date on the large calendar in front of me at my breakfast table, with my next oil change appointment, or PT appointment. A notification on my phone that an important call has come in and been sent to voicemail. Anything that is able to become background noise due to its constancy and repetitiveness. A child crossing the road is a thing I would notice before the child got anywhere near the road, even though the child’s house, which I have driven past a thousand times, is invisible to me and I couldn’t tell you what it looks like. I was diagnosed with ADD at a center that specializes in diagnosing, treating, and studying people with this disorder. I was deep into my 40s when I learned what ADD is, and got a diagnosis. The medical treatments have not worked for me, although they did briefly. I’ve learned more and more to understand how ADD operates for me, and some ways to manage and workaround it. The brief spell where the meds were helping, was amazing. I remember looking around as I drove somewhere one day soon after starting meds, and thinking, “Oh, wow! This is how other people feel and epwerince the world?? No wonder they can do what they do!” I also started thinking of all the things I could now do; go to college, have a career, use my creative abilities in more focused, goal-oriented ways,…etc. But, unfortunately, within a month or two, the effects of the meds diminished and I wasn’t feeling that amazing clarity and awareness any more. Fatigue makes ADD worse, I’ve found. Even more than that, stress makes it worse. If life is feeling out of control in some way, even if I think I’m managing that stress pretty well, it will hit me in the ADD with a vengeance, nonetheless. Especially if I’m suppressing feelings in order to function. Ironically, I’ll have some real lapses that can make life even more uncomfortable and out of control, because of the effort (I surmise) I’m putting into “holding it all together”, which just intensifies the ADD. I wonder if anyone else can relate to this?

ADHD kicked in and I didn’t finish this lol sooo serious!

I had a friend who was AdHD. Complete asshole. Narcissistic. Impatient. Property damaging. Complete a-hole.

I enjoy being interrupted by ADHD people

criticism? in a fb group about ADHD, i felt like i am among reckless copycats and no doubt propaganda ... of foreign ego, especially medicaments, repeated like a poem, no matter it is a suspicious foreign ego against them ... maybe they knew it, if it was good, they would keep it to themselves? they seemed to me like they never have problem with anything ... maybe the more they have problems, because people take them as "no problem, so i can push all my problems to them without fearing they would mind it" ... and maybe they do it to themselves "in order to look perfect in front of people", too ... maybe they copy people's reckless statements or rather "hints" (unexpressed, emotional - "invisible, not sueable" ... they claim about their own crimes, wtf ?!) which are bad like everything someone pushes to someone ... they actually say "be perfect = dont be (yourself), it will be easier/better "for everyone" (means: for me on costs of other people, reality)" ... i think it is hard to be "good-sh*tting-proof" ... because people are utilitarian jellys (especially when they seem vice versa, as a solid god you can rely on ... when they want you to carry them, their BPD BS) = they emotionally support (at others) what is good for them (they want to put on other people what they dont want/no one wants) = bad for other people (or they just like, enjoy to push their BS to someone else? they can seem better then without doing anything (good)?) and push bad emotions to you when you are happy (recklessly, on their costs) or do what is good for you ...

vs.? Dr. = Mengele?

Always making connections.

I hear smell and feel everything all the time.

You are all just worshipping the cortices and they don't matter Everything is in the feminine lower brain that this lady has no clue about , other than guessing badly just look at her diagram, its cortices worshipping

Hiya from 🇬🇧have just jouned you channel ,i have adhd ..i was diagnosed at age 41on the nhs here in england. i am 47 now,after i was assesses i met the specialist doctor and within about 3 sentences of me speeking..he diagnosed me 😅..jokes aside i am still non medicated through choice and i find ways of copeing everyday!..my first recomendation is to put the radio on when completeing household jobs..music is a great for that..also talking aloud to remind yourself what your doing ,i talk a lot and struggle to rememberr what im saying..but i still manage at work,i am a carer,have been a mum sice age 18 and just about managed to run my house ..single handed!..have a nice day!❤

I believe as adhd woman I shouldn't have family and I have no future

Great video illustrating whats happening in our brains. I finally got 'diagnosed' at age 39. I have it in quotations because I didn't get the absolute full diagnoses illustrating exactly what type of adhd I have. But at age 39 a conversation with some sort of health care professional (psychiatric nurse in my case) was enough to determine what I had a hunch about all my life was true. Inattentive seems to line up with me now a days where as a child it was more so hyperactive. I hate that I've have had this my whole entire life. Its great to finally know what it is now as it explains quite a bit about my past. The thought of what if I didn't have this and how different my life could've been is a question I ask myself a lot.

#2! YES!

Nailed it😅

i missed u

Ok, you had me from "We might recognize patterns more easily" 😅

I'm 51, and been on Adderall for over 20 years. It helps alot with my fatigue, and accomplishing major tasks, but I still feel like I have overall issues accomplishing things. Thanks to videos on CZcams, I'm learning more than ever before, which has been extremely helpful, yet so many videos talk about inattentive adhd, which is what i thought I had, but my issues aren't that I am inattentive, but the contrary. I'm literally aware of everything going on around me, to a point of being hyper-focused, all the time. Unfortunately I can't direct my focus to the immediate task at hand, and it's exhausting. I'm starting to wonder if I have less adhd, and more OCD. Sometimes I find it difficult to separate them.

One of the far more scientifically explained ADHD video on youtube.

Thank you for your videos ❤

Oh look..more stupid shit excuses..

ADHD DOESNT EXIST... hard truth for a liberal to wrap their head around... you are all on pills now and your doctor owns you. fact.

Show up

People with ADHD are genius with immeasurable IQs and see third level first But unfortunately, mental health professionals invented the word neurodivergent, which is a cultural Marxist term used to divide and denigrate people. It makes it sound good. Neurodivergent is the worst self talk and it gives people a week to people with ADHD mentally ill which is our biggest stigma

Procrastinating is my m.o. for sure. Unfortunately, I'm getting to the point where the fear or embarrassment of missing a deadline no longer provides the motivation I seem to need to accomplish most anything. The shame from constantly missing deadlines is seriously impacting my mental health. I honestly hate knowing this bc I don't want to feel terrible about myself, but it seems as if I can't stop procrastinating regardless of what I want.

Number 1 then number two. The last not because I prefer to be by my self fore the most time. i have ADD

Transitions!

Very well summarized. Intuitively, I always used to say "People who don't bother to ask a question BEFORE forming an opinion may as well push their opinions into their darkest place." 😅
