Some people actually CAN control it eventually; my brother hasn't had problems since his early 20s and no longer needs ritalin

@Stephanie McLaren you can outgrow many ADHD symptoms because it’s a developmental disorder but you can’t outgrow the entire thing. He probably just outgrew most of his symptoms, I’m sure he still has them though.

Learning to adapt, is in a way overcoming no?

@@SweetLoad69 people with adhd learn what works for them to help them cope better. But they don’t “overcome” anything because their adhd is still there

we constantly have to prove our existence, adhd is real its not something u just turn off lol

lol, same

LOL SAME

Swagron Lol same!!

Same

Swagron don't worry. I watched these videos while I am in college.

Farhaneh AhMeD HELP IVE TRIED ALL MY LIFE I CANT GET As I HAVE EXAMS IM A FUCKINH LOSER WHO ONLY KNOWS HOW TO PRINT PEOPLE ONTO PAPER WITH MY HANDS IM A SKILLESS FUCK PLEASE HELP ME THE MEDS STOPPED WORKING TWO MOMTHS IN SOMEONE GET A DOCTOR IVE ALSO GOT ANXIETY DISORDER SO THIS DOESNT HELPPPPPP

Farhaneh AhMeD I just found out I have it 2nd day on adderal

Here

Classic FeatherPen You’re not a loser brother I know how you feel. I may not know you but I believe in you, you can do great things stop doubting yourself you are capable of anything it’s all in the mind adhd is tough try your best at school everything will be okay

HEREEEE

You're absolutely right. Not everyone who might show a few symptoms of adhd/add doesn't mean they have it. Some neurotypicals don't understand how our brains work and prob never will, which is okay by me as long as they don't come off as a jerk about it; we're Neurodivergents by nature, very extraordinary people. I self diagnosed myself this year and it's really great to know there are others out there like me who think the same way I do and knowing that I'm not alone is calming to me. (Just saying this outloud is so liberating 😭)

@@AngelinaSkylove_719 You literally just contradicted yourself. You said just because you have a few symptoms doesn’t mean you have it then proceeded to say you self diagnosed yourself within the next sentence. How many times do we have to tell you people? A SELF DIAGNOSIS IS NOT A REAL DIAGNOSIS

‘Us’? Dude stop with the bullshit

your not alone I'm just like you

I can completely relate. Depression is the worse part :(

You can do it man! Keep your head up we're all cheering for you.

Cameron bowe I can relate. It's amazing when u have adhd. no offence to those who don't

how do you get through? the more i try the it gets worst

And black people!

How the fuk did a video on ADHD become about women's pretend oppression? 😑

Adventures of Malia exactly! What a lame video

TheJadedLightworker when you treat the world as a MEN problem, where only men are inspiring or meaningful, wonder why THAT’S OPPRESSIVE TO WOMEN...

@@lissaajz Well the best of every category are men. I'm not trying to be dragged into your victimized boy vs girl competition but that's the truth.

Yours is a success story and model for many people ; thanks for sharing.

What exactly do you do if i may ask? I have ADHD and i was also in marketing, sales to be precise and i definitely learnt some skills but the pressure was too much for me.

Wow Sir! Your story's really inspiring! Could you tell us more please :( I'm currently a student in Marketing!

​@@cerveauy8782 That's awesome! Remember this: the school will only teach you about 1% of what you need to know. Your on-the-job training will teach you about 40%. For the rest of it, you will learn from reading books, watching videos, and learning from other people in the industry all on your own dime. Most people with ADHD have a built-in superpower for Marketing! You think fast and can naturally read people - remember to use that to your advantage!

@@mariomendez316 Thank you for the great sharing you did, but I wonder are you good at numbers? If not, how do you deal with data analysis or other statistic related to Marketing?

You should never self diagnose just because you have some symptoms doesn’t mean at all you have it.

@@madminute6662 yes but there are tests you can take online to see if it’s worth it to actually get a real test for it

@Mirror exactly, thank you

@Mirror yeah my family likes to downplay all of my problems just because I have adhd they just tell me to “try harder” which annoys me so much

@@madminute6662 My parents know about my ADHD, yet they still tell me “try harder to focus” DO THEY NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK ADHD IS

Chibi Umbreon dude you need to get new friends,we don't have that 2 second warning...can't be blamed for that

Chibi Umbreon same with me

Chibi Umbreon true friends wouldn't hate you for something like ADHD. Get new friends, who won't judge you. All the best 🙂

Chibi Umbreon then they arent friends right?

Why would they hate you because of it? How could they hate you because of it?

This gift requires a lot of reinforcement. By age 30 you have a 30%-40% lag compared to someone with out ADHD. I won't see it as a gift. It's a disorder.

@@z018246 I agree. ADHD may have made me “interesting” and it did give me some superpowers like hyperfocus, but for how difficult it is to manage my emotions or how easily angered I can be by little sounds because of sensory issues? It’s a disorder

@@cisforcringe5645 I big time recommend. Dr Russel about ADHD on KZfaq. People trivialize this disorder and make videos like this. He makes ADHD as real as it gets plus ways to help yourself.. I cross my fingers you'll check out a video or two and let me know what you think :)

@@z018246 yoo guys. Dont ever victimize urself. As a hood survivor, undiagnosed adhd survivor, university surviver and graduate. Worst thing to do is victimize yourself. I was down for 2 days after really believing I have adhd now and trying to accept it. After finding out shaq has it, and he is one of the most personable people, and someone like bill gates who became SO successful, it just proves that you can go hard still. Be fit, be loved, be happy, be successful. Dont focus on the failures and just keep it pushing, not trying is the worst cope strategy. Also pray, ramadan is coming up, change your whole life and try it. Its everything dr berg speaks about and more. The health benefits and mental benefits are wild. Also lets be real, stop watching haram videos and your adhd decreases by a lot in 3 days. Try it and tell me im lying.

I have Aspergers, but alot of my friends have ADHD

Malik Felder I am the same,

I like seeing these kinds of positive videos. It can help encourage people with these conditions that they can overcome it.

i have adhd and deslexia

Brian Pollard unless u can use your self determination. I was able to multitask, but I can get overwhelmed with it. However with self determination it worked

I can do a million things at once, but they won't get done very well and none of them are what I should be doing.

Brian if you learn to channel the ADHD it can actually help with multi tasking, I know if it wasn't for my ADHD I wouldn't be able to do all the stuff I do now. I remember years ago my Dr who diagnosed me told me his theory that he thought ADHD may be a hold over from when we were hunter gatherers, which to me made alot of sense.

It is like you brain multitasking

It is frustrating because everyone always comments on how I always seem to have a lot of energy, even when I am not following my prescriptions. I haven't taken antidepressants since I was like 17, and convincing myself to take.... basically meth everyday, kind of bothers me. I know I shouldn't, since it does help but sometimes can't help it. They don 't realize that I am at the mercy of this incessant drive to.... stay engaged, I guess. I am as happy as a pig in shit by simply perusing the internet. With nothing but a glass of earl grey and a bowl of herb, I can think about anything and everything, come to understand how it all works and the big picture of it all. Just to click on another word or name, and lose it all into the cracks of my mind. I revel in it, even if I only remember some of the stuff for a few minutes. Playing music is the only thing I can claim to have come close to mastery of, and that is only in a sense. I will never stop learning in that area of life. The cruel irony is, no one really ever fully understands the true depths this can effect or even alter someones life. My Mom absolutely loves when I visit her, especially come time for Jeopardy. Strangely, I have almost come to terms with the idea that she is going to not only out live me... she's going to be working still too. She is a smart woman and loves brain teasers and all that jazz. Without fail, we will watch Jeopardy at least once during a visit and she plays exclusively to do better than me. She occasionally can pull off the upset... but I literally am just a never ending fount of "useless knowledge." At the very least, a lot of knowledge that no one really needs to know. It is kind of sad though in my eyes though. She is happy with this state of affairs, never noticing a simple fact. The same thing that makes me good at Jeopardy... In spit of the fact that I am very good, at a great many things and have a great depth of curioesity... I am the quintessential example of "a person that is a layman in everything. Yet, sadly, a master in nothing.

Arthur say whaaaat?

King eli1st I feel you

King eli1st dude I wasn't disrespecting your mom. I'm saying that I understand how you feel. I meant no harm whatsoever.

King eli1st I have ADHD and it annoys everyone and I'm glad I have it I like being hyper lol

What you describe have nothing to do with ADHD except hyper but I'm not surprised since 99.9% have no clue what this disorder means.

King eli1st people at my school don't wanna be my friend because I've got ADHD and I'm deferent. but when I leave high school in won't have to see those ass holes again. I just started writing a book too

I dont care wht people thnk of me as i realised only my opnion of me matters to me

Oh

I LITERALLY CAME TO THIS COMMENTS SECTION BC BRENDON SHOULD FUCKING BE HERE OMG

yay congratulations! keep at it.

I'm 16 with ADHD and just started writing a screenplay. Keep at it!

Good for you!!

I got ADHD in Ive been writing stories since I was 9

What's it called?

Lilitales 1 Don't worry about it! Although it's a struggle, it's nothing to be ashamed of. I have been diagnosed with it too 😊

Jill Stephenson Thx, that's means alot

lol, *that

You are most definitely not alone.

Hello fellow person with ADD! I hope in the past two years you were doing just fine with both your blessing and curse known as ADD. It is good to hear you feel better about yourself and are no longer insecure about it like I once was. I hope you have a great day!

Kaylee Urie YESSS

Yes!!! 👏🏼🙏🏼

Omg I was thinking the exact same thing clicking on this video

YES WTF

when i saw the title i said "brendon urie better be on here.." lol

Yep, apparently not inspirational enough for WatchMojo. Emilia Clarke should be there, she's really famous now with GoT and before acting she couldn't even keep a job because of her hyperactivity, despite taking Ritalin.

Yep

This comment needs more thumbs up's

Where did you hear that Hilary Duff and Avril Lavigne have ADHD? I've been their fans for years and I never knew that.

Yeah I just realized that all the ones in the video were men lol.

Wow perfect thank you !

The way you just flipped every negative into a super power is beautiful - thank you

Yeah this is a top 10 men with ADHD, they should do one for women too : Emilia Clarke, Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Connelly, Hilary Duff, Liv Tyler, Zooey Deschanel, Salma Hayek, Simone Biles, Britney Spears and Eva Longoria

Scottie Corley I would love that as a female with ADHD myself.

@@balistic565 false

KyleTheStupidJew56 that’s untrue and a very harmful misconception that leaves millions of girls with ADHD undiagnosed. ADHD isn’t just a squirming boy who can’t sit still in class. it’s so much more than that

@@ultravioletpisces3666 Actually it is true, though I believe there are some females I think should have made this list, like Simone Biles.

and he has anxiety

Samantha Babineaux anxiety isn't an illness it's an emotion.

Napoleon Wilson - Anxiety Disorder is an illness, though - when the way your brain is set up causes extremely frequent and uncontrollable anxiety. This has to be treated by medication or therapy, it can't just be controlled/got over like an ordinary emotion usually can.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Samantha Babineaux yasssssssssss.

Same I wonder what it’s like

The brain must so quiet

As somebody with ADHD, it is good to know you feel better about yourself. c:

Me too, Kash from Manchester Uk 🇬🇧

I mean women with adhd are known for masking

Everyone is on a spectrum some people have it more worse than others. She also medicated too

what u mean?

Emilia Clarke, Avril Lavigne, Jennifer Connelly, Hilary Duff, Liv Tyler, Zooey Deschanel, Salma Hayek, Simone Biles, Britney Spears and Eva Longoria (and probably much more)

Well the issue with finding one is that the classification for autism varies between men and women, so its hard to reasearch autistic women considering that the criteria required to find them can be invalid.

many women get underdiagnosed because they mature faster and usually do not have the hyperactivity boys usually have the hyperactivity which is most recognizable with adhd

daniel charlie fernandez that's actually an interesting claims. Not really absolute

Derumas Forlos of course not, but for example, we all know that the sex chromosomes are different, XX for women and XY for men, turns out Y is much smaller than X and has waay less genes, so diseases like color blindness or hemophilia affect mostly men, and it happens for sooo many diseases that I am not afraid of generalising, look it up, it is pretty interesting :)

Béatrice Martin why is it so bad if they were women no one would say the list is bad

velho 22 it’s still unfair: it should have an equal amount of BOTH genders, otherwise it’s as if its saying that only men can have it.

Actually, the diagnose ADD is now called ADHD as well. There are three main types of ADHD; ADHD mainly inattentive type(what used to be called ADD), ADHD mainly hyperactive type(the stereotypical ADHD), ADHD combined type(which is apparently the most common). It's its own diagnosis but technically you actually can have both ADD and ADHD. Well, kind of.

I absolutely agree Emily

well that's one way to deal with it. I choose to deal with my ADHD without taking pills. It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination but I like to think it makes me a stronger person, learning to deal with it day after day. Just a different way of doing things I guess.
