Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is denoted by impulsivity, inattention, and hyperactivity. Although ADHD is perceived to be most commonly a disorder than prohibits us to function in everyday life i.e. making us disabled. There are 5 specific benefits you can actually use to get ADHD to be a good thing i.e. your superpower, regardless if you are a man or female:
1. Dopamine Hunt Ability
2. Creativity
3. Hyperfocus
4. Enthusiasm
5. Risk-Taking

The T-Rex video hit the spot. Thank you.
We need to be focus more on our ADHD strength then what we can’t do.. It’s difficult sometimes but Yours video is really encouraging . 😃
🙌🙌🙌
Yeah, 100% !
I do love the dinosaur though🤪🤣🖖
Bruh I’m only a minute in and I just realized that I was staring at the screen but have thought about 3 DIFFERENT things and wasn’t hearing a single word he was saying 💀💀 gotta love it
True. I've also found that the more I set my brain free rather than bounding it to limits, the more it turned out to be incredible at many things. I always used to bound my brain to avoid wandering and to focus for an extended amount of time. Also ADHD brains have god-like intuition and foresight, its like 99% risks you'll take will give you immense benefits and it'll leave normal people wondering how the heck did you do that.
OMG YES INTUITION JUST HAD DOG STOLEN PRAY EMAIL TONS DOG SEARCH NEXT DOOR LOOK AT NEW DOG ONLINE SUPER WIERD FELT SHE WAS CLOSE STRANGER SAW HER WANDERING 1 BLK AWAY OLD COLLAR THIEF REMOVED..
CAME TO MY DOOR IS THIS YOUR DOG HOLY SHHH SHOCKED GRATEFUL SEEMS THIEF LIVES IN SAME AREA
..WATCHING HER LIKE A HAWK...HUGE
GRATEFUL NEED GET VACCINE NOT SURE HOW GET AN KEEP HER SAFE. SLEEP ON IT WAIT WATCH LET SOLUTIONS COME TO ME ....ITS A CHOICE AMAZED IT WORKS
So true about the god-like intuition and foresight
I unknowingly found my way to use ADHD as my strength because I wasn’t diagnosed until much later when much of what I did (exercise, moving to a city alone, traveling alone,
hyper focusing on getting a master’s degree, working in an ER, for example) was no longer an option.
I was diagnosed at 56. I am a female and had no idea that menopause could exacerbate ADHD symptoms. It was like having the rug pulled out from under me. I spent several years where I wouldn’t get out of bed unless I had to and it was hell. My daughters were the only thing that kept me from checking out. As you age running and strenuous exercise is not an option unless you’re looking to destroy at least one part of your body. Working in an ER as a social worker when you have little ones at home didn’t work for me. If I had known that I had ADHD I could have been better prepared to adjust my dopamine fix. Thanks for all the advice, I just have to adjust for age and gender.
Yes, I used to do African dance and was able to keep up with the fast rhythms. And the more diverse the rhythm was, the more I enjoyed it. And, I could dance for hours 🥰
Ironically creative work like art is a perfect outlet for the Hyperfocus thing
I agree..it's a superpower! I make dresses...so I skip all the nuisance and go to the major work..I became so good i can finish the same day!! 🎉
I have diagnosed ADD and I only get bored once a week on average, it's crazy even the smallest of things are super entertaining
I LOVED this video. It truly spoke to every aspect of me. My ADHD allows me to become hyper focused on things that I’m into. I also am super creative in many things that aren’t even connected, which means that I can switch to other things very quickly
I saw your 9 minute video in 2 minutes 😛
I made the Kessel Run in under 10 parsecs.
I though I was the only one who did that
I saw that with 15min, cuz I get distracted
I relate strongly 😂
Same here😄😄😄😆 I guess, I found my people😄😄😄
This makes sense no wonder I traveled all alone from the ages of 16 til I was 20 I rode the Amtrak alone and greyhound all alone. Drove from California all the way to NC alone 😭😭
Love the editting in this video! Great points mentioned here :) One of the most important thing is to accept our ADHD brains and the fact that we will never think the same way as Neurotypical, so there's no point in trying to fit into that box. Instead, we learn to embrace and work with our brains and use it to our advantage!
YES. Couldn't have said it better myself.
2:33
keep hunting for the dopamine
(watch adhd dopamine solution video)
do running/aerobic exercise
set achievable short-term goal and tick them off
art and creativity
think of ideas
hyperfocus
have growth mindset and grasp self improvement contents and use them
enthusiasm and energy
we aren't afraid to take risks
Bro thank you SO much
Recently diagnosed in mid-30s, marriage and career struggling, this channel has given me so much hope and allowed me to lower my "mask" for the first time ever, I am really excited at the future and leveraging my new power. Currently changing career to something more aligned with my skills and passions instead of slogging in the mud to nowhere in my current job. Marriage is an open question, wife is questioning whether I can be a reliable partner long term now that the mask is down and I don't blame her for feeling that way, but all I can do is focus on myself. Starting to question myself whether I am better off alone rather than constantly letting her down. We don't have kids and I am kind of thankful for that as idk if I can be responsible for another human.
أبحث في قوقل عن رقم د.محمد عفيفي من مصر،ممتاز جداً لعلاج adhd,ممكن تأخذ جلسة عن طريق برنامج zoom.
my love of adrenaline, adventure, novelty, risk taking which is not always good
I love drawing and i cant stop until it done
love your comments and encouragement about exercise, looking forward to trying more of your tips. Thank you i needed this
The Music in this video is on point. 🙏 thank you for taking the extra step❤ Loved the content!
I’m not energetic to be honest. I’m not super hyper like my brother who also has ADHD. I’m actually the opposite. Kinda explains why my brother has a lot more friends than I do.
You got ADD my guy
@@AaAa-lt5gg or inattentive adhd
Art isn't just pictures. Art is music, literature, fashion.....so many things.
This is my first video which i watched fully
Thank you so much! Your videos are very helpful!!!
I love the quick clips, it helps keep my interest
Great video. Related to a lot of points
Thank you so much for this video !
This is SO encouraging!
Loved this video। thank you for this।we need such things.
Thank you so much man, I definitely agree!👏
This is a nice explainer video to share with friends and family
Wow these videos are amazing. Thank you for all this validation. I don’t feel so weird anymore hahaha 😅
I need some friends with ADHD lol
Normal people were thinking I was " indigo child", super creative, talented, genius when I want to, but to bad that I'm so lazy... or if I'm not so lazy, who knows what would I become.
unfortunately no one, not even psychiatrist back then, was thinking I have ADHD. It was mentioned that I have problems with focus, and solution was supplements and more discipline.
The ADHD diagnoses came in my twenties.
I have noticed that stress increases all of the symptoms.
My favourite advantage is hyper focus (when is useful), exercise, art, a sort of photographic memory (I am interested about other people's experience with this) and probably the most important - perfectly reading people
same!!! same here!! 👏💕
Self imposed deadlines rarely work for me because I already know it's not an actual deadline. Even if consciously I try hard to treat it as a real deadline, my brain still sees it as an arbitrary thing.
For daily physical activities, I would suggest 2 things:
1. find out if you’re a morning or evening person.
2. Find out what daily exercise that you enjoy.
I hate running or treadmill or using gym equipment alone but I love group exercises: Zumba, weight lifting, kick boxing, yoga, etc. But the class must good , I must be in front and I must engage the whole time.
So I have multiple gym memberships , that why I never run out of options.
Find your thing, it doesn’t have to running like this guy, or group exercise like, find something that you truly enjoy and build a system to make it as sustainable habit.
Some good points. The main thing I find is to stop trying to fix the weaknesses and concentrate on the strengths. Exercise is something that will never work for me. I hate it. Every mind numbing second of it. I've been told a 1000 times to find one I love. Been there, tried that. I hate it all. I wish I did find it enjoyable!
Fuck "exercise" just do something fun like parkour, bouldering, swimming... My absolute favorite still running. Just calm and peace in my mind :) Hope you find something that works for you.
TRY DANCING ESPECIALLY .
MUSIC YOU LOVE ME WCS WITH R+ B. BBKING ETC
Yes... The only exercise I can do is walking workouts... No need to focus too much on putting your hands and legs
I walk, have done since I was a kid. I also dance, alone, around the kitchen. I detest exercise.
Can you do some videos for us with late diagnosis. Because we are playing catch up and have missed out on the help.
Look around on youtube...there is a lot.
I zoned out trying to watch this....
Funy
I changed the speed to 2x so I could get more out of it faster 🤣
I’m not! And I’m terrified most of the time. Undiagnosed at 57 struggled for years and only just realised this is what I have. Any advice from anywhere most appreciated. I think you’re great btw.
Thank u! And congratulations:)
@@adhdvision she was really looking for advice not just to thank you
A daily routine of yoga , tai chi or meditation helps over time even 10 minutes a day. For home organization The Secret Slob (21 day baby steps; using the checklists and timer 7:50 for that dopamine hit), Minimal Mom were helpful and give it a good 6 months to a year to establish small but powerful habits. It is good to start with that because it is difficult to focus on your strengths when knee deep in laundry, dirty dishes and miscellaneous paper 😂😂.
For work I found that Lofi music (low fidelity) works the best but other people like white, brown or pink noise. Lofi music has tiny errors in it and it keeps parts of my brain busy looking for them, or being mildly curious while I do the “boring” stuff. Be patient with yourself. I have told people I have adhd and told them to stop harassing me while I am trying to get it together better.bThe best I ever felt working is when I had a secretary who loved keeping me organized! It was heavenly. For relationships I have ended up (or picked?) people who were pretty structured but then of course complained bitterly they were not spontaneous enough. I have stayed with the current one for 18 years, tough but I at 67 starting to value the value of having habits and routines and not too many changes. Keep working at it to create a good life for yourself😊
Could that be a one of ADHD symptoms?... misinterpreting what other people really mean
@@cassinioleg2532imagine if he is going to repeat the content of his videos to everybody commenting …days of work .. for free ? 😅 I’m curious too but if I need an answer I will look in his channel instead of pretending he can answer each and every one of the viewers
I took an acting improv class at a he college when I was in my 20’s before I knew I had ADD. So much fun. This has helped me in my life. And I’ve moved to different cities ALONE and had no issues finding friends however I’ve moved to a freaking retirement town to be near family over a year and a half ago and NO friends so far. I feel like I’m in a dark secluded place.
You have changed my life
I’m never bored and yet I can struggle with productivity.
1. hunt for the dopa, xrcs.
2. LAND OF THE FREE, BE FREE, THINK FREE, IT IS FREE
3. HyprFoc, set d/lin aka a timer
4. enthusiasm, lift ppl up
5. HOME OF THE BRAVE, TAKE RISKS, FK IT
I find dopamine in interviews. Out of 20, I find myself 19 times preparing for future interviews. Can someone help? I can't watch even a 3-minute youtube video without acting that interview roleplay where I'm someone super successful and high achiever and someones taking my interview. This is getting out of hand. I'm 16 currently. I come from a country where mental illness is a joke and I'm constantly getting blamed for not paying attention or find wandering on streets. I can't control myself at this moment
Seriously!! I play the same game almost every day and only drive around. That's all I do. But it's so much fun that it's all I wanna do in the game. Or even draw the same things over and over again.
thank uu
Dylan Moran… “potential, is potential, leave it alone!”
I think people would read up on the lower pecentile of illnesses(mental). However, I don't think most people know or care. I also think, some folk are busy, people have families, so unless the awareness is ramped up to TV and phones, most people will not know unless someone in their family or friends has it.
I would like to buy a shirt but the link isn't working. How can I order?
Hey! Great video. I have a question. You mentioned about passions. I find that due to my adhd my passions keep changing due to boredom. Any advice on that?
Anyone else have this symptom, or is it a personal quirk:
I can handle or when people take too long to say a sentence, to make a point, when it’s already clear - or saying the same thing 3-4 different ways. Meaning - I’m super impatient with slow communication. I feel like yelling “cut to the chase!” 🤣 I jump ahead, I want them to Jusy Say It - even when I really like them.
Extrovert with adhd here! I love being around people and doing different things and adventures and off we go 😁 (but also sometimes I have exactly zero energy to do these things and that’s the worst)
I'm mostly introvert but when the extrovert comes out - dopamine rush. Very fun😊
I do the same thing I seek self improvement 😱😱😱
ITS SHOCKING TRUE INTUITION IS ALMOST GOD LIKE AN YES PEOPLE WONDER HOW HELL I SUCEED FACT ME TOO IM AMAZED AN SCARED BUT THEN AMAZED ITS A LIFE OF MIRACLES JUST GOT OFF DOPAMINE SHOPPING OMG NOT GOOD CATCHING+ STOPPING IT SOONER THK GOD!!

Could you add links in description
I have an issue because I also have dyslexia. I haven't been on meds since high school in the late 90s. For a while I thought I had out grown both. I haven't. I just started meds again. I am now on Atomoxatine, I think that is how it is spelled.
Informative video but not quite there to it's full extent but either way good stuff man
I'm the same socially
Awesome
Football..lawn tennis..skating
Before covid
After covid
Only cycling's 😂❤
Yes! All 100% thank you
My adhd is now a liability. lost my creativity, I no longer have that drive or motivation that I need to complete things...now even start things, and right now, I've flatlined...meaning I have no motivation to do my side hustle. I wanted to start a medical commodities business, spent only about $97, and I started training....then I quit. I've started and quitted about a thousand things in my life, and now I'm paying for it. So someone please tell me what I can do to get that fire back...and keep it?
Is it true that drinking energy drinks such as a redbull makes people with ADHD tired or is it just a rumor
There's your 500th like
Does he mean like there is no tomorrow. Like tomorrow does not quite get there.
You’ve got to remember that not all ADHD is created equal or the same. Those diagnosed will either be: predominantly inattentive, hyperactive or combined. When you get older into adulthood you can grow out of one subset.
my brain is dead,
BRAIN
First thing in the morning??? So like 11 am? Right? Because I sure ain't a morning person I wake up in the worst mood ever each day lol
when does he start ????????????????????? Im at 3:00 and no help jet :(
Ok, but how about the ones that only have attention deficit BUT NOT the hyperactivity???????????
look for a add video
Thanks Mate you cooked in this one nice steak
❤❤❤
And what if you are the adhd and autism person?
There are Audhd video creators on youtube.
Personally to stay focused i had to speed up the video to 1.5x, once i got used to it n started losing focus i put it up to 2x n felt better ._.
Omg me too! 🤣
43 yrs old and just now diagnosed with inattentive adhd. My gods I wish I knew this 30 years ago.
Music distracts me… and you lose me. Wish I could stay. 😭
Will keep looking for your “NO MUSIC” videos. 🤞
If I was a male in my 20s this would sound perfect. However I am a 46 yo woman, finding new ways to improve myself has been worked at for decades and actually needs to STOP. Running for decades. PRO TIP: do NOT run first thing in the morning if you love your knees. I've ran a business for a decade. Had kids, pets, illnesses, successes... No wish to be the life of the party.
I just want peace of mind. No more hunting for projects. They don't actually *mean anything. Grasping for illusions doesn't satisfy my soul. Thank you though ❤
I do not mean this in a bad way but hopefully I come back but I have to tap out at 3 minutes....
ADHD videos should be short and to the point.
Yes but how to control it?! 😬
At 7 min 40 sec. This man mentions an invisible link in the top right corner. Why isn’t it there?
Id you click on the dots?
Thank you I’ll have to do more searching. 😊 lots of dots on YT

your music in this vid makes that I cant concentrate on what you saying... 😞
Sorry but I had to skip 10/15 seconds sometimes I feel so weak...
You could of skipped that whole spiel about explaining what adhd is. People without it arent going to click the video
This is a video for people with adhd and the first 3 mins was nothing about the title.
