ADHD and Causation
Barkley explains the percent of ADHD that is genetic, and the percent that is environmental.
The Five Regions of the brain that are smaller with people that have the genetic cause of ADHD
Right Frontal Lobe (Orbital Prefrontal Cortex)
Basal Ganglia (Mainly Striatum and Globus Pallidum)
Cerebellum (central vermis area, more on right side)
Anterior Cingulate Cortex
Corpus Callosum (Primary Anterior Splenium)
ADHD children also have a 2 to 3 year delay in the growth and the size of these parts of the brain. Eventually as adults the size will for the most part equalize and only be 3 to 8% smaller.
Even though these parts of the brain are barely smaller, it is the electrical activity and how the brain that is wired that really cause the ADHD. Not the size of the parts but how those parts are wired and do they generate enough electrical activity to adequaltely use those parts of the brain in daily life.
Current medical imaging can't diagnose individuals for the size difference is too close and too subtle to normal. Yet look at hundreds or thousands of scans and patterns emerge.
The importance of twin studies and what twin studies tell us about causation.

It was 2 of my 5 adult children that are ADHD that said, "Mom, get tested. At the age of 64, I was diagnosed with ADHD.
Thank you for this imformation
How did having a diagnosis change your life
Jesus, lady... If you know you're cursing children with this terrible disorder, a moral person would stop having kids. You are immoral.

Mine runs in the family. I had no idea my dad had it, but we talked at our family runion after my diagnosis and he struggled. Then I started looking at my cousins. Wow. Good thing our grandfather taught them to be innovators. Everyone's always building something. Too bad no one could do paperwork to get patents... my dad is an identical twin too.
My parents both seem to have ADHD lol
But who's gonna tell them? They're not diagnosed, just I am :D
Hello good morning everyone! Guess who has a scar right over their right frontal lobe and recently discovered ADHD!!!
Welcome to the club.
Best wishes.

LOL same here 😂
50% of kids with ADHD parents will have ADHD themselves? Yet _another_ reason not to have kids lmao
I’ve been thinking about this. Me raising me as a kid sounds extremely intense. I’m not sure I could handle something like that lol. Maybe in time, but we shall see.
My son & I are similar in many ways. I’m thankful I do understand how he works. It was easier for me to show him by example. That’s what my parents did for me. They saw my sister & I as individuals with talents of our own. We just did things differently. It’s because of their support that I didn’t give up. We can have moments. We just take a break & try to find a solution. The inventor of the lightbulb learned a lot of ways of what didn’t work until finally he found what did. 🤓
Why not film the slides too ?
This was 2009. it was a conference; I expect they just sent the slides out to the attendees.
It would be nice to see the slides
wha are the things that cause ADHD during pregnancy? Can't see the slides. Would be great to know
I suspect it would show e.g. alcohol intake and smoking.

I came to the comments for the same reason
Strep was one
This guy goes “a three minute” presentation and it’s 10 minutes 😂 adhd time blindness confirmed.
When he mention if you're an adult with ADHD, 40 to 50% chance that your child will inherit it. Does that mean if one partner has ADHD and the other doesn't have ADHD. Your child will still have 40-50% chance of inheriting ADHD?
Yepp. If both have it chances are way higher
Yes, I have ADHD. My dad and sister are extremely smart and intelligent . They have accomplished so much in life, my father is in his late 70s and he just started a course on calligraphy !!! Where as me I am doing good in life but after been diagnosed I understood the problems I face and the past wasn't my fault. It's highly likely my mum had is but I am not sure.
I wish he would have elaborated on Dr Amens Spect scans more... why are they not legitimate? I might end up getting scanned there because it seems so convincing that it might help me figure things out more
Ikr! I recently discover about dr barkley and dr amen, I think both are great but now I know theyre not on the same page about spect scan.
Well, he literally said it all in the video, tbh... Did you not pay attention?! 🤣
1. The size of this brain network is directly related to severity of ADHD
2. In children who inherited the disorder these parts of the brain are about 3-10% smaller
4. It's enough to cause this disorder
5. It's _not_ enough to use brain imaging for diagnosis
6. These differences are _so small and so subtle_ that you could not use them to classify people
7. Which is why no brain imaging technique (including Doctor Aman's Spect Scan) has any value
No point wasting your money - what else will you discover? Nothing of any material use. Better to spend your cash on some paid ADHD support instead.
@@221b-Maker-StreetDr Amen’s scans check far more than size. He’s mentioning one aspect (size) and using it to dismiss Dr Amen, which is unnecessary. He could have clarified but he didn’t.
I’ve had Amen’s clinic scan my kid and what we learned allowed us to treat him effectively.
I’ve also used Dr Barkley’s work.
Both Drs are doing great work, and I’ve benefited greatly from both.
My docs want to diagnose me with depression, but i love those videos, they even make me chuckle. I can see myself in it and find peace
He threw shade at Dr. Amen! Oooo!!
Amen’s scans check way more than just size.
Love Dr Barkley, but his comment was misleading without that context.
In this video a list of reasons was given for ADHD but the professor never mentioned fetal alcohol syndrome. Is this not a cause of ADHD?
No. It’s a different brain injury but this may have attention / executive disorders as well.
My FAVORITE adhd channel!👍👍👏👏
Gotta love the shade toward scientology 😂
Yes!! I heard that and went straight for the comments
Yay I’m brain damaged
If MRI can’t detect the small difference in size of the brain sectors , how they know that ADD patients have smaller sectors?
in general, the size is smaller. that means, if you take 100 adhd brains and 100 neurotypical brains, the average neurotypical brain will be larger in these areas, but many of the adhd brains will still have those areas be larger than the neurotypical's. it's similar to how you can say the average american has more money than the average spaniard, but there are many spaniards who are wealthier than most americans. you can't tell based on wealth whether someone is spanish or american, and you can't tell based on brain structure if someone has or does not have adhd
I was wondering the same
It means that they took people already diagnosed with ADHD and studied their brains, and discovered on average they are a little smaller. However the size difference isn’t big enough to definitively take an undiagnosed person, look at the brain sectors and say “you have adhd”
There would have to be some sort of study taking undiagnosed people and attempting to diagnose strictly through brain scans, and then probably diagnose with the current method and see if the “expected results” (brain scan diagnoses) lined up with the “actual results” (conventional diagnoses) using a statistical analysis to rule out chance.
He’s not saying the scans aren’t picking up the differences, but that the size differences alone aren’t enough evidence for a diagnosis.
A little further in the video, he explains that recessive carriers of the genes for ADHD also have these differences- but not ADHD. So you can't look at a brain out of context and say, "this brain is from someone with ADHD." But if you know someone has ADHD, then you know their brain is from someone with ADHD.

The MMR is Heavily Linked to ADHD and ASD.
I have MS and ADHD. I can relate. Especially when he mentioned strep. When I was a teen I had mono, strep, mumps and measles all in the same year. After that I could no longer deal with school. I skipped, my mind would go blank during exams, I couldn't deal with other people. The list goes on. My eldest has ADHD and Epilepsy. My youngest has Autism spectrum and possibly ADHD. Life in a home with this much mental dysfunction was and is still difficult.
i have adhd, autism, bipolar, chiari malformation, Sensory
Processing Disorder (SPD) , ocd, odd and Prosopagnosia (face blindness

This may be ADHD of me but where can I find the actual slides for this presentation
I find myself curious... is there any research into pseudoestrogen contamination affecting fetuses in the frontal lobe
Well I think I finally understand Phineas Gage now
Group b strep?
If you want to delay the development of a child's frontal lobe, it is as simple as subjecting them to chronic, toxic stress.
Can you cause ADHD by focusing on learning using visual techniques early in life vs auditory?
Before anyone jumps on me. I have ADHD, I'm terrible at learning languages. But my early childhood was spent in text based adventure games where everything was visual and nothing was auditory. I've wondered if this made things more difficult for me or if I was just more naturally attuned to a world where communication was visual before it was "released"
Causes after birth...lead, strep etc. they have a genetic predisposition- hmmmm wonder what is forced on these poor babies immediately after birth that would also affect their developing brain! ☠️😏
Lmao science>your opinion
@@Adam-zw1cki mean he talks about lead poisoning and bacterias so your point??
Barkley denies his own research that shows stimulants to make essentially no difference in children's academic performance. There have been other reviews by Swanson et. al. in 1993 and by Oregon State University in 2001 or so that showed the same thing. The OSU study showed no advantage in ANY long-term outcome for "treated" vs. "untreated" kids diagnosed with ADHD, including no difference in test scores, graduation rates, college enrollment, drug use, teen pregnancy rates, delinquency rates, employer satisfaction, social skills or even self esteem. This same result has been consistent for decades. Yet most people are completely unaware of this information, because the psychiatric profession finds it inconvenient. Other studies supporting this finding are the Raine study in Australia, the Quebec ADHD study, the Finish/USA comparison study, and the long-term results from the US MTA study. It is utterly delusional at this point to maintain that stimulants are critical for kids' success in school, yet Barkley and others make lots of money off this idea and continue to promote that stimulants are essential and that parents who fail to "treat" their "ADHD" kids with stimulants are being neglectful.
Skills more important than pills and no side effects
@@Dancestar1981 Barkley says We don't know what these drugs do but we know they work. He knows how they work and what they do. They work by destroying the brain and all other organs. They work by destroying health on a mental and physical level. Believe me they understand very clearly.
@@Dancestar1981 In 1978 Barkley said these drugs don't improve academic performances of children with ADHD. In 1991 he said the very opposite that they do improve their academic performance. In 1999 he went further saying nobody diagnosed with ADHD should NOT be taking them and later went further still saying it was child abuse not to drug your kid with ADHD.
@@Dancestar1981 I agree. Fuck Barkley and ignore him. He's a pharma salesman
Alan Berkeley idk anything about the efficacy of these medications on outcomes so I don’t have an opinion, but are you saying that after 13 years of research he isn’t allowed to change his mind?
Key point: ADHD is genetic.
