This video allow wouldn't allow me to get to that conclusion. Actually this seemed like someone reiterating a Wikipedia article^^

@@KommentarSpaltenKrieger how would you come to that conclusion? I can guarantee that you haven’t memorized any Wikipedia articles so how does it sound like he is just “reiterating” one? He isn’t monotone in voice,he is giving facts, and he seems knowledgeable with much insight.

@@ezrasadek5327 Don't take what I wrote too personally or seriously.

This video is very informative yet VERY difficult to pay attention to for more than 3 seconds. Less than 3 minutes, add some excitement. Colors, movement, music, etc. Perhaps a table would be best. Did anyone summarize this?

I find the "how to ADHD" channel much easier to follow (as it's geared for us). Plus she is also ADHD, so her info is easy to follow and understand and relate to!!!

Watching at night with head phones and the screen away proves to be calming

For real very hard to stay as focus

That's insulting

Same😵

Your a good friend

Awwee

Be mindful that you are at risk for creating a codependent relationship, which is not healthy.

Aww how sweet I also have add

Considering everyone has add here. Probably not haha

Yes, the symptoms of ADD show up either when someone is not interested or just day to day routine and just a decent chunk of the time.

sillyfly That's exactly what I thought.

sillyfly Same here, that surprised me too.

yes I zoned out and got back at 19:40 and hearing that description makde me want to kill myself...

@@johanpool9946 Me too, exactly.

India Thrasher you do still need a proper diagnosis tho :)

+haildorothygale Hi there. Really good question. Some conditions are almost completely biochemical and some are more emotionally or trauma based. I see ADD as about 80% chemical and so treat that before I see what is underneath. However, since the prefrontal cortex is impaired in ADD and it manages the emotional part of the brain most people with ADD are very immature and if the connection between the two brains is very impaired then empathy is poor. So there can be many similar symptoms to the personality disorders and often there are dual diagnosis situations. Abilify is is officially an antipsychotic, but is often used as a mood stabilizer. It usually works great with ADD and I have not seen it increase anxiety. Thanks for the questions.

mogbaba rewatch it and rewatch it. We have adhd we aren’t pathetic

Most people have more than one type so it is quite possible. I would look for people who know Dr. Amen's work in your State.

It is common Sorcha

Is this why I yawn so much more than anyone else.

Sounds like you may have adhd.

Find a specialist! It does sound like it a lot.

You could check out the section on overfocused ADD in Amen's book on ADD or my ebook atadd-care.com/attention-deficit-disorder-and-add-care-r-the-natural-alternative-or-there-is-never-a-reason-to-be-without-a-prefrontal-cortex-ebook/

Jef Gazley thanks?have a good one

I would always isolate meds or supplements. See how the Ritalin act and then usually 500mg of GABA is great twice a day. St. John's works well but could deactivate birth control pills. Usually 1200mg. is best, but add anything on for a week before going to the next supplement. Check out ADD-care which is natural for later in the day and evening.

Thank you

Sounds as if ADD might be accurate. Watch the other ADD clips of mine and it will give treatment options for you to choose from.

Often social anxiety is really anxious ADD or overfocused ADD. They are treated a bit differently and I talk about that a bit in this video and a couple of others. I use either ADD-calm or Obsessed care for that with my clients if I am doing it naturally or a stimulant and an SSRI and GABA if traditional treatment.

I use marijuana not necessarily always helpful though

I do that too. It works very well, but I am in constant stress of getting caught lol.

SSRI for the social anxiety and a stimulant for the ADD.

@@mattdagreat216 hello I heard that marijuana isn't very helpful to those with adhd or add but obviously it's all personal. If it works good for you man!

Jyrah, the only thing that activates the prefrontal cortex which is the key to focusing are the stimulants or ADD-care which is all natural. Intuniv is non-stimulant that helps calm so that people can focus a bit better, but does not activate the prefrontal cortex either.

Jef Gazley I went to your website each bottle is $50 and the typical dosage is 1 to 3 pills every 5 and 1/2 to 6 hours if each bottle contains 100 pills and I have to take 3 pills every 6 hours that's roughly nine pills a day my bottle will be done by 12 days in and then I'll have to spend another $50... that's like roughly $120 every month... I'm too broke for that... Heck, I'm even too broke for $50 a month... and I'm pretty sure insurance doesn't pay for this... Any other cheaper suggestions?

The only other option is a stimulant and they usually do not have too many side effects and insurance picks up some of the cost Jyrah. Jef

Jyrah Sorzi Ask your doctor about Zyban. It's a non stimulant ADHD medication. There are also doctors who will combine small doses of non stimulant medications like Strattera with stimulants like methylphenidate. Avoid any remedy which is homeopathic. The principle is that it doesn't matter how diluted the treatment solution is (whether it still has any of the substance left in it or not) it will treat the issue. You may just be paying for water or sugar pills. Fortunately water is not changed by substances which have been disolved in it and then removed or we'd all get sick a whole lot.

Jyrah Sorzi Sorry, I forgot to add that homeopathy basically relies on the placebo effect. It will not help with anything your body doesn't have the power to heal itself.

Been dealing with so many troublesome symptoms all my life, time management, not finishing research projects, losing my dang glasses...daily.... and noone ever mentioned ADHD to me..... Noone would agree to diagnose my daughter when she was little, even though I suspected it, and now I find that this is why she couldn't graduate and suffers terribly with overwhelm. I am thrilled there are so many videos on the subject, but I didn't know until I went looking. Our medical providers never noticed. This MUST change! I hope to be a advocate for that!

There are two rules of thought. For example Dr Amen believes that overfocused ADD is a particular kind of ADD while Dr. Hallowell would say the person has ADD and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. They are both describing the same thing and they are the two best specialists in ADD. They would still treat them the same way though.

Conner they were in the video. Inattentive, Hyperactive, Overfocused, Temporal, Limbic, Ring of Fire, and a new seventh called Anxious.

Increase the speed dumb dumb

Speed up the video lol

Lol this video is an oxymoron!

Ah just go to 1.25-1.5 speed.

Haha... Oh well. Good thing is that it’s a video you can stop in between. Unlike the rest of life which I wished for soo badly ever since the beginning of time >.< ....I do appreciate his calm and slow way of speaking! I find in relatively easy to follow with pauses in between :)

esuus gshit, i kept getting side tracked

There is a speed-up option on KZfaq. On the bottom right corner is a gearwheel symbol for settings. Click that then there's a "speed" option. Then choose a faster speed. I can't find it on my phone app, only computer

esuus ~I dont know if you were trying to be funny or not, but when you mentioned about the man in the video and his speaking style being more suited for someone with anxiety, not A.d.d.,? And l couldnt help but laugh at the truth in it. How what you said makes absolute sense. Probably because if this guy (and im not dissing him at all cuz its good info.) is so knowledgeable about struggling to pay attention disoders then you would think he should know this, but seems pretty obvious that he doesnt? Its like a bit of irony with a little bit of sarcasm so was hard to resist finding it funny. And, you have a definite point. It wouldnt hurt if he did scientic, just alittle faster &not as monotone. Then again, how useful would it be if a clown was giving the information? Its still a good thing when you can find humor even in frustration.

@@sorchaoreilly2633 ?

All you need to do is call the Amen Clinic. No need for a referral except for insurance.
