Sorry, Vegan is TERRIBLE for ADHD. Lectins, phytates oxalates etc are TERRIBLE for us. I did the experiments, raised vegetarian. The opposite is true, butter, meat, high qality fermented dairy (if tolerated) animal fats, cheese, organ meats. I DID THE EXPERIMENTS AND CHANGED MY LIFE. yes I am literally type-shouting. Our btsins need cholesterol. Please limit Veg and Fruit and increase butter, animal fats and meats. Try it for 6 months and watch your childs life change. I didn't discover this until my mid 40s. A big Eff U to the plant based lie I was tortured with since conception. I couldn't think at all as a vegan/vegetarian. I couldn't remember anything long term or short term. And my body was in excrutiating pain because I apso have EDS. I am so tired of bad dietary advice ruining lives. Otherwise, this interview and information was fantastic. But NEVER EVER make a child go vegan. It is abuse.
The kid who is struggling to hand in essays and assignments needs SUPPORT. I had incredible teachers who helped me learn how to finish things. It helped I was studying what I loved (art/graphics). Rewards are the best for me, I refuse to be paid in full for creative consignments, because I need a reward at the end. A dopamine hit. If the reward for even trying to start is punishment if we don't get it right by neurotypical standards, then we WONT DO IT AT ALL. Diagnosed 3 weeks ago at 51. Oh the stories I could tell.
Hallo
When i dont take Adderall, i annoy everything around me. When i take Adderall, i can actually listen 😂
I found him because of "How To ADHD". I liked what he had to say. This is a good interview as well. Very helpful.
Brilliant. Thanks for creating and sharing your wisdom. Searched all my life what it was in me why some things were hard or impossible for me to do, despite being reassured of intelligence in school and at uni. I became a clinical psychologist but not much was taught about ADHD, and as a sufferer ‘you can’t read the label from within the jar’ - and it took another 20 years to follow the right track and finally got the diagnosis confirmed. Do you want to know how I found the track? I rented a room in an ADHD clinic. How coincidental was that? I tick all the boxes! Finally everything I had experienced in my life before now makes sense.
For years, I've tossed a lot up to me just being naturally lazy and a procrastinator. My husband would always say I'm just lazy whenever I'd tell him I think I have ADHD. It wasn't until I was on an OTC cold and allergy med that I realized something neurologically (outside of my epilepsy) was definitely going on that made me seem lazy and made me procrastinate because that particular med had me staying productive. I was able to get everything at work caught up within a week (about 7 months' worth of work). I knew my dad was diagnosed with ADHD, and I finally decided to see my doctor about whether I had it or not even if my husband didn't agree with me. Sure enough, she determined I have ADHD. Ever since I've been on my medication, I can tell a difference with how I am at work...how focused I am without hyperfocusing or being easily distracted, how I can prioritize without getting myself overwhelmed or doing multiple things without finishing one, how I don't get tired nearly as much as I used to, etc. I can tell my brain is still running a lot, but overall, I've definitely noticed a difference.
Thanks a lot Doctor for your suggestion, support....🙏 It gave a new perception regarding ADHD...👌👌
32:31 Cows don't need to be milked unless they gave birth. Common myth used to promote the dairy industry.
I equate dropping off your 3,6,12 month old infant or even 24 month toddler at a pre-school child cruelty. Why have a baby if other people are going to raise it for you? And what about the baby's separation trauma? I find it scary that we consider such practices as normal...
Yes u are right
Thank you ❤
Who is this man ? I’ve heard about 100 webinars on the topic and this wonderful human said many things that really resonated and I hadn’t heard this way . Thankyou 🤗🇦🇺
Would be nice to know how kids feel at young age
By far the best book on ADHD I've ever read. Helped me tremendously, but more importantly, it helped those around me (family members) understand how I function a little better.
This Dr hit the nail in the head. He is a great help to me who has this condition.
I am so grateful I have the chance to watch his videos...he is so great, thanks !
safia morsley is a gift from god ..
i fell off the sink when i was 7 or 9 and hit my head so hard ,, i am 30 now and still have a bump in my head due to the fall . when i have a migraine or a headache its starts to grow and hurt like hell ..
35:40 i told my close ones that if u tell someone with that condition to try harder and stop making excuses is like telling a cripple he can walk normally if he tried and not make excuses ...they took that against me and further bullied me to me to change to their own size ...now i am truly alone which to be honest i love it because i dont want to be a burden on anyone anymore ..sure they gave me pain rather than comfort but thats just because they are also dealing and copping with their own broken code much like myself ...but i dont want to indulge anyone anymore just to satisfy their pity .. thank u dr .
35:11 i wanted to say the same thing to u Dr.. i want to express my gratitude to you sir ...very few is able to reach that level of decency and sincerity while others are still contempt with the shortcut you u genuinely seem to want to go to the full extent ...my sincere admiration goes to u and the likes of you ...
A year later… 55 just diagnosed with ADHD. I’m in the grieving process of how my life, my family’s life could have been so much more. Thank you for the positive spin.
I hear you. I was diagnosed 8 months ago at 60. I didnt realise there was a grieving period. For a guy my age its difficult to just burst into tears in the evening when the meds wear off. Yes things could have been much better, but i can have a better future now i know what to manage. Yes it will always be a challenge, but according to Dr Halliwell i can capitilise on it. Which is what im counting.
I get both of you and I’m only 24 and Diagnosed only a few months ago, it’s very strange I don’t feel myself or normal and now you notice things more the more it plays on your mind and with your life . Any support or tips you guys have along the way I’d appreciate I guess we are all in this together
Just diagnosed at 46 but I already gave up in a lot of ways (dead-end job because of fear and hopelessly single because that's paired with the all-encompassing low self-esteem). Perpetually mourning what could have been.
No reason to grieve: yours and your family's lives have been enriched by your unique mind more than you'll ever know or imagine.
I grieved for week then got bored with it.
Do you have a chapter or any connection in Connecticut.
How can you expect someone with adhd to read a book?
Plenty of people with adhd read. Having it doesn't mean they can't. The same way they can have jobs, etc. As long as the topic is interesting enough to the individual to engage their focus they can definitely read
@@jessicaalyse7 i cant read academic books , yet finish 8 self help books every month I hv vitiligo , have read most research papers on the subject Its all about hyperfocusing on the things that interest you
Hyper focus. My issue is that when I am interested in a book, I will read the whole thing at once, not accomplishing anything else that I should be. When I'm not I interested, I will read the first page 9 times and still not grasp it because my focus is just not engrossed enough in it.
Thats the funniest thing I ever heard! :) lol

ADHD is fake science for selling bad therapies and dangerous drugs. Stay away from charlatans
You're hurting a lot of people with this kind of talk. Keep these kind of thoughts to yourself, or even better, do some learning.
@@oofstin1256 docs and parents giving pills to kids are certainly hurting them
Alan's high on coke...I think
20:00 so here right now 😭😐🙁
I can tell that life with ADHD is hard. People think is no big deal, but, it is.
It’s a huge deal, specially before and during your diagnostic, I’ve never struggle as much as I have before and maybe it’s because ive been diagnosed, but it’s honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to deal with
This Doctor and his explaining has brought some kind of clarity for me
Yes, I agree. I feel like he’s describing me to a tee.
It gives me hope to hear that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
The problem here in the UK is children with a diagnosis only a minority who have structure of parental and teachers mentoring, but at school leaving age this abruptly stops. So all the hard work both the child has achieved maybe still lower than their peers due to the stigma alot of teachers unfortunately label children "naughty or disruptive and excluded" LOST AND IN TURN, as they become young adults especially here in the UK, they are lost in the system and I have been a parent of a child with ADHD for 28 years now. That's how old my son is now, and I am now trying to get him the support and help he needs, including his medication (restart -prescription) and not prescribed with an anti depression medication.... I have studied, researched and kept my own files from various "TRUE" sources. This channel being 1 of reliable means of information and I have found myself quoting from my sources, to provide the relevant information, which the UK will not tell you, if you don't ask... They would rather you didn't ask! I feel I must prove my knowledge.
What a good parent you are, advocating for your son when he can’t. Not everybody is blessed with that. Well done and keep persisting.
@@livelystones7773 much appreciate your words of support and I will also take this as encouragement to fight the fight 👍
Lesley. Listen to me about Hallowell. Ignore him. Listen to somebody like Larry Diller. He's got a history of groping women's butts. He's taken pharma money He recommends others to take Adderall and Concerta for his ADHD but doesn't take it for his own as conveniently he's one of the 20% who can't take it. He says they are safer than Aspirin. What a complete and load of utter bullshit. Hallowell says 15% of the US have ADHD. It is 5% according to the DSM. He diagnoses in six questions live on TV. He said he diagnosed and drugged an 86 year old. He tested a boy with an IQ of 69 and after two months on Ritalin his IQ was 140. He claims Edison, Edgar Allan Poe and Einstein had ADHD. He's a very very dangerous person. A sick, warped, pathological liar who needs stopping and exposing.
UK is a mess. I'm from there but here in Brazil you can see a doctor the same day and start meds . They will listen to your story, and try you with meds if think you need them . If they work, along with some other factors, you can get your diagnosis and stay medicated
@@eirini98 same for here in india as well Although adhd awareness is less , leading to misdiagnosis
I love this doctor’s energy

There are a lot of haters here… just don’t buy his book. But there are people like who are searching for answers and a way out. We need people like him that at least is trying to give a solution. I hear and if I don’t like it I move on. Get over it.
Well said, Luis. A shame there aren't more people on here like you. 👏👏
It's more than that Luis. He's got a history of groping women's butts.

@@alanberkeley7282 You sound like a conspiracy theorist. What kind of research have you done on this topic? What makes YOU an expert? Do you also not trust that 9/11 happened or mass shootings? Sorry but you come across as a nut job.
I read this book in one day. It was amazing! The next day we started our son on Concerta and we have already seen such positive changes. I had resisted the stimulent meds for him for so long. We had done balance exercises with him for a couple of years and he has been clonidine since second grade. We never increased his dosage and more recently we have been struggling with him immensely (seriously!!!). I wish I would have tried the Concerta sooner.
How did the balancing exercise worked for him? Did you noticed any changes? I am a parent who is new at this plus through my kids diagnosis I realized that I have it too.
I plan on staying vigilant for my/my brother's future offspring ,when they develop adhd (high chance as me & my bro have severe adhd) Undiagnosed adhd has wrecked the life of both me & my brother
What's the origin of the DOB cutoff? Why September 1st and not just calendar year?
I'm also 71 and I consider myself very lucky to have a psychiatrist that actually taught ADHD at the University of Pennsylvania. He's been my psychiatrist for about 25 years. I was first diagnosed at the University of Miami in 1994 at the age of 44. Dexedrine spansule capsules and Wellbutrin were prescribed. It was amazing for me. It was as if I was in a dark room and someone turned on the lights enabling me to see and be aware of everything in the room around me !! The University tested me for several sessions and told me that I had an IQ of 132 and that I was in the 98th percentile and a very creative thinker. I was astounded by the experience and the information that I found out about myself. Previously, I was always told there was something wrong with me especially by my family. I had terrible reading problems dyslexia, spelling... and I had a small library of very interesting books that I read a few pages out of each. I used to be very introverted and sickly when I was a child... allergies to everything, asthma and almost died at 2 years old in the hospital. My over-aggressive father took out an insurance policy on my life of $2,000 for my funeral then. He kept paying on it and when I was 67 a man knocked on my door who told me "we've been looking for you for a couple years now".... and gave me a $2,000 check and told me what it was for. My mom knew about my ADHD when I was in high school because the woman who worked for her in our family Delicatessen had a husband and two sons who all had it. She gave me two Ritalin Tablets and told me to take them that weekend when I studied to be able to answer the questions at the end of my 10 chemistry chapters...and "no matter what never tell my mom that she gave them to me or she would get fired"!! I would have failed and got left back if I couldn't do it. So I did what she said, I took one one day and took one the next day and I answered all the questions. To my amazement they were right in the book and I could find them. I've had an interesting life but I never got married. I really miss the company of a good woman in my life and I love children. At 18 years old I remember the day that I thought that I should never have kids because if I did I might turn into the monster that my father was. One of my girlfriends had two children and we were together for several years ....some of the happiest years of my life 💗!! Today, people would say that I'm fairly gregarious. I live in a senior building and I'd like to have a girlfriend who would enjoy sharing this beautiful world together. I still enjoy sex and I love massage and I'm a really good intuitive massage therapist. I hope I can find someone congenial.💞
This Ferrari brain better be real because you are not helped much if ur only problem is your brain is too great 😐🤦♂️ and there are also different severti levels so maybe some just have mild adhd and think the symptoms are because they are too smart when they could be happyer/better without that problem. To say evolution is perfect and it cant be that some systems get caught up and malfunction would seem to be on shaky ground to me. I mean we do t do research on how good people are thats useless in the context of mental helath and illnesses. But yes i understand what mr hallowwell might mean. In terms of human beings being algorithms adhd might be a kind that is better in some circumstances but having consumed adhd stuff for years i dont believe so at all. Seems to be more in line with the people dont wanting to get bothered but using indirect means to archive that goal. Downplaying. “There are no gay people, they are devilish, decadent or can be treated by conversiontherapy” to name an example of extreme form of downplaying. Milder would be “it only came up in our society” and ignoring points like: well we havent looked/documented or shunned before and now police protects you if you say ur gay. Or society (countys) are richer so they become more inclusive and caring. But in medival times when everything is shit you will be a lot less concerned about philantropic actions.
