the differences between the child adhd/ocd diagnosis percentage and the adults percentage is crazy ---- since adhd never goes away nor does ocd

Great interview! My child had ADHD and OCD. He’s 12, and recently diagnosed with OCD. Looking back there were symptoms 6 years ago! We just didn’t know the signs. Hopefully this interview will help parents.

I got diagnosed with OCD and ADHD right before I left for my second year of college and it finally made sense. My parents never understood my need for paper plates and plastic utensils; or when I would throw a fit when one of my sisters would steal the outfit I had laid out the night before and I felt like my whole day was ruined because I planned on wearing those clothes and it’s no longer in my control.

Thank you for this video! I have OCD and my partner is diagnosed with ADHD so our life is pretty crazy and fun, it is nice to listen to this video, knowing that we are not alone

Very interesting to hear this, thank you. As a mother of a late teen who is very disorganised and has terrible intrusive thoughts, she was first treated for OCD for 2 years. When the OCD symptoms lessened, she then had very strong ADHD behaviours showing. Apparently the latest research is showing that OCD, depression and anxiety can be CAUSED by the child trying to cope and control their ADHD.

Great work - thank you.

Great information and strategies..

Wonderful video!!! Thank you. I’m curious about comorbid ADHD and OCD. Best.

I’m diagnosed adhd. I definitely think i have ocd* because my mom does too.

Anything for adults?

Damn the morality and thinking people going to think I am gay or crazy thoughts are what I been having lately and it’s been making me insane! I have had moderate to high OCD, Anxiety, PTSD and Depression and in my 40’s now I have absolutely no energy, clumsy, very shaky but always running in my chair non stop! I hear people talking in code about me and paranoid. I think I lost my mind and can’t even get mental health fast enough. I go to see a mental health doctor finally in 4 days and not sure if they are going to put me in a funny farm or can even help all the issues I have and it all has come to a head 2+ years ago when my wife of last 20 years passed away unexpectedly and both parents passed away. I have had these symptoms since I can remember but it has become debilitating and I just quit my job and started living in my car out of paranoia and anxiety issues and I loved my job :(. I pray I can get medication to at least help me somewhat or I truly believe I am going to unlive myself with the stress and depression this has caused me and the thoughts of doing such a thing truly seem to be more of a hope then a possible bad decision 😢 I can’t imagine the amount of conflicting medications I would even require for my collection of problems 🤦
