I am pretty sure I have adult adhd but I haven't been to anyone to get diagnosed. Recently I had an MRI, not related to adhd etc, and when I saw the results it was noted I had non-specific scattered T2 flair white matter. Is it possible that is related to adhd?
Does people with adhd experience world differently than neurotypical people. Does they feel same about the world or is it just the regulation of emotion and distraction which is hard to control for them?
Do people who have ADHD feel things differently Cause I have adhd and I want to know if being happy for a normal person and being happy for a Adhd person is the same thing or not including other emotions?....
People with ADHD can experience emotions differently compared to those without ADHD. The differences often stem from the unique ways in which ADHD affects emotional regulation, sensitivity, and reactivity. While the core emotion of happiness itself is the same for both people with and without ADHD, the way it’s experienced and expressed can differ significantly due to these factors.
That hasn’t been my experience. I have ADHD and it really does feel like the strengths outweigh the negatives. I am not saying it is the same for everyone and being different has caused many challenges. But having a balanced view has been most helpful for me and allowed me to navigate choices that suit me vs trying to always fit into less ideal circumstances. I don’t feel mentally ill or disabled. But I recognise some do and likely are.
Unfortunately for me after spending many years undiagnosed , my ADHD causes depressive episodes & chronic fatigue syndrome, amongst all of the negative symptoms that accompany ADHD, procrastination, time blindness, racing thoughts, constantly burnout etc etc. I don’t experience many if any at all of the positive attributes associated with ADHD. Family & friends have heard me many times, (most recently when I was rushed to hospital for trying to unalive myself) saying that ADHD is ruining my life. I hope this doesn’t come across as though I’m invalidating your experience with it though. It’s actually refreshing to hear how some people manage with ADHD, well enough they would regard it as an improvement on their own character; as opposed how I feel which is dysfunctional, burnt out, and constantly fighting against myself causing me to be extremely fatigued more often than not.
I’m so sorry for all the pain and challenges you’ve experienced. I hope you find the care and support to make this all less painful and a burden. Please know I’m not saying it’s been easy - I’ve definitely experienced the insecurity, crushing burnout, and general dysfunction of ADHD. I guess I am lucky in some ways to have been raised by artists and sort of learned to lean into a lot of the more positive sides to ADHD. Fitting in is very difficult but there is some freedom outside of some of those expectations. I wish you peace and love.
Difficult being a woman with ADHD some men see it as a threat, people see you as obnoxious, weird or attention seeking or crazy and it's a lifetime of torment and social exclusion I hate it.
You're "forced to tolerate" the fact that another person's brain works differently than yours? That is an interesting viewpoint. I wonder about what are all the flaws that you personally have that others have to tolerate.🧐🤡
Love to see an ADHD brain during hyper focus.
Probably a blinding light haha.
@@ShabazzTBL Lol no, that's autism 🤷♀
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 41 .. nobody had a clue including me what was happening to me of the famous ADHD symptoms

Do we have any details on the differences in the patients of the two images in terms of age medication? Is there anywhere I can find the research?
It don’t matter how creative you are if you can’t get yourself to focus on it and do it like me
True😅😢
It looks like a flat head syndrome on the right, is there a correlation between flat head and ADHD?

Characterising ADHD as a strength makes the lives of those suffering genuinely miserably and it is simply disingenuous

@@sarahhartman5723 can you give some examples of these strengths and how they helped you specifically?

Sounds more like histrionic personality disorder.
Much more annoying, exhausting, frustrating, etc..as well. These people destroy lives and make otherwise mentally well people unwell.
I'm sorry but what exactly is normal and who defines it?
Are you referring to people with ADHD here?
If someone is that bothered by someone ELSE that has ADHD, I’d say that person is not mentally well either… just in a different way. 🤣
