So incredibly helpful and insightful. Really resonates for what I see for my young son and also found the research around women's mental health, menopause and ADHD very interesting

Excellent

How does one get adult diagnoses for adhd... In the public health sector? Please help and thank you for this clip

Thanks (hearing the reality)

Wow, thanks gentlemen. I’m with you Henry on how raw some of that was. That fundraising message really hit home as well. How difficult it must be where you don’t have a physically obvious and outwardly life limiting condition that shakes its own tin.

Is there a podcast / offline option for this that doesn’t require subscription?

I think he misunderstood when asked about BPD. He went on to talk about bipolar disorder instead. Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD also exhibits symptoms of emotional regulation problems. On another note, a lot of this is so relatable, especially regarding RSD and missed opportunities, perfectionistic tendencies. I was diagnosed last year and am on a waiting list for treatment. I was due to be seen this month but have been told the waiting lists have now been extended by 6 months. This has been hard to process. At times it feels like the government simply do not care. I know they now have an 'ADHD Task Force' assigned to remedying the wait times, medication supply issues, etc, but it's a bit too little too late, I feel. People need help now. Thanks Dr Shyamal and Henry for this video, and thanks to Henry and ADHD UK for all the work you do. I can relate to having to try harder to keep up with others. After years of working temp jobs, I worked hard and eventually qualified to be a music teacher, but found the environment too overwhelming to work in on a day to day basis. I would love to return to teaching one day. As a random aside, I heard a theory that people with ADHD would have been hunters in prehistoric times, as they are often found to be in indigenous tribes today. Easily distractibility and hyperfocus would have been an advantage, as it allows you to scan your environment for anything that moves. Society expects everyone to effectively be the 'farmers' of the world, while people with ADHD would have been adept hunters, reacting quickly to continuous stimuli and changing circumstances. This is also known as the hunter-farmer theory. www.additudemag.com/watchman-theory-adhd/

Thank you for this. It is very much my experience and I can majority of the time say exactly what triggered it. I am less than 4 years since diagnosis and I’m 48. I have a friend who has been treated for decades with SSRI’s for depression but is fighting for ADHD diagnosis now.

Thanks for this fantastic discussion, the information is extremely helpful and Dr Mashru is an exceptional speaker. As a late-diagnosed ADHDer myself (37 y.o. male), it helped me piece together my history and how struggles with emotional disregulation led me to being prescribed SSRIs and SNRIs for 15yrs which had a numbing effect without providing any tangible benefits. Thank you Henry for making this available .

Thank you for this most insightful and empathetic discussion and for including the effects of hormonal changes on females and the differences in female presentation of ADHD (females were excluded from studies for many years due to hormone fluctuations qualifying them ‘unfit’ for studies, and the studies focusing on women began only for the last few years). Would you please organise a discussion on therapeutic interventions? Dr Mashru mentioned techniques such as distraction, which is used for children but also might work for adults. Most therapists are entirely unaware of ADHD’s impact on trauma response, cognition, and emotional dysregulation and receiving interventions developed for neurotypicals doesn't help. ADHD coaching is a mixed bag and not regulated by a professional body; I heard that some are just offering pep talk, which is ineffective.

Hey @ADHD UK any news on lidocaine ineffective adhd? I have it and it seems to be running in my family.

This video has like 3 comments so i will use it as my diary. Idk if i am gonna commit suicide or not, i have been suicidal for a long and recent failure in both academic and work life has made me feel like a complete failure. I have just been diagnosed with ADHD but i still feel like even after getting diagnosed nothing has changed i am still the same looser. That cannot do anything. That still procrastinate at everything. I really think everyone will be happy if i die. My parents only concern is related to my life and my future. I think they have secured enough that they can have a nice retirement and if not my sister is capable enough to take care of them. I don't have any friends (atleast i haven't met them in last 3 months). So me leaving the world is kinda net positive and it wouldn't be any loss to anyone. Still idk if i will commit suicide or not. If i didn't commit suicide i will reply to this comment next year. I know its kinda dramatic but i have never told anyone about my suicidal thoughts so its kinda message to the abyss.

It’s a great description love that tidying up is hiding things

You should start a women's group that have taken the stimulant to share there stories

What if your symptoms are getting too much, massively interfe with every part of your life and GPs referrals stay unanswered? And you can't afford to go private?

Thank you both - this was really useful!!

I feel childish and foolish for having bubbling energy and laugh at silu stuff at 46yo. And have been so horrible to myself for it, scolding myself. What if my humour is meant to be here, and those who don't agree can be allowed to dislike me? Thinking this, feeling this, but integrating this is difficult, I am highly critical of myself on a daily basis. Newly diagnosed and suddenly it all makes sense❤

Tanya was my favourite housewife, even top 5 from all countries. I've just been diagnosed with adhd in my 40s and now I see this!! No wonder you were always my favourite, Tanya! Thank you for this!!❤

Not sure if comments were addressed privately but it would be very sad if they haven’t been addressed.

It makes sense to me but he says "in my next video" but where is the next video? there is no link.

Great video - can we have a summary of the other meds as well please - such as Lisdexamfetamine (apparently second line stimulant, and the two non-stimulants of choice in the UK - are they Atomoxetine and Dexamfetamine? - thanks so much - my son not responding to Methylphenidate so would be good to understand the four main ones - pros and cons - thanks so much

Is this for 5 year olds? I’m having kindergarten flashbacks.

Not sure if I missed this part but is an SNRI okay while pregnant or breast-feeding

OMG. What is the clicking on this? I am listening on amazon and there seems to be constant pen clicking.

Thankyou for this video and line up. I’m in my senior years and after daughter was diagnosed with ADHD . She has chronic fatigue, with anxiety, which then resulted in the NHS assessments. I wonder if ADHD manifests into senior years, as l too have similar symptoms and long term anxiety and l need go private if need an assessment as my Dr said NHS takes too long. This is shocking regarding private clinics as now looking. I welcome this information.

thank you

I got diosgnoised with severe adhd its so bad if i was blind i wouldnt notice any different:(

Really enjoyed this video, you've captured some vital aspects that I have not seen in other videos by professional orgs. Such a good intro to what it is like having ADHD in the workplace. I would LOVE to see the emotional aspects of ADHD acknowledged and discussed within the context of ADHD at work, as emotional dysregulation has just as big an impact on our experience (as well as our Managers and colleagues experience of us) as our challenges with 'performance' based traits, if not more, and are also (at least initially) a neuro-based response rather than a behavioural one. Helps to explain sooooooooooooooo much. :) Thank you and will share this across my employer :)

Your face when you parody, '...Have you thought about making a list?' So funny... :)

Ever get the impression we're not taken seriously?! Dear God!

Really enjoyed this interview. Thank you for sharing 🩷

ADHD is "bad parenting"?! Wow! Is this really what we're up against? The meds crisis is putting myself and thousands of others at severe risk. I can't even find a definitive answer to why there's a shortage in the first place. How do those scumbags sleep at night?

so wtf is the point

"promosm"

Thank you so much I am 62 and never thought about ADHD until my daughters pointed it out this year. Your website is invaluable for all of us looking for answers.

Very interesting, not something I had thought of before.

27:23 This

Very good video!

Big Pharma doesn't want Drs using nutrition, it cuts into their sales.

Please can we have part 1 uploaded @adhduk

Excellent conference and talk! Would you mind enabling the captions for all videos, please?

Speak up you spanner.

Having adhd I don't even see the proverbial box. My thinking is more in line with thinking multidimensional.

Moving the subjective to the objective.

I did not finish this video :(

Where’s part1?

Please can we have part one, need to catch up on what I missed!

This link takes you to part two...

Tyler's

Hi folks. Where can we access part 1 please?
