Adult ADHD - What You Need to Know - Part I - Symptoms

ADHD is now recognized as a relatively common mental disorder of teens and adults, affecting 4-5 percent of the adult population and accounting for an increasing number of referrals mental health and family practices in this country. The disorder has a pervasive impact on most major domains of daily life activities, including occupational, educational, and social functioning and health-related behavior. It is therefore imperative that mental health, medical, and educational professionals have as much up-to-date knowledge of this adult disorder and its treatment as possible.
This presentation will provide current information on the nature, comorbid disorders, adaptive impairments, and underlying nature of ADHD as it occurs in adults. Dr. Barkley will provide guidance on the diagnosis of ADHD and the need for clinical judgment beyond just employing a DSM-5 algorithm. He will also describe the most effective treatment components focusing particularly on counseling, medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy for executive function deficits, and Adult ADHD Coaching, as well as the need for educational and workplace accommodations.
The lecture is divided into several parts, this being Part I. It covers the primary characteristics of ADHD and its typing in adults.

Thank you for breaking theses down into smaller videos. As much as I wanted to, I was struggling with the longer ones. Much more digestible for me this way :)

[@russellbarkleyphd2023]

It certainly needed to be done. I have completed the segmenting of most of the lectures now and also created playlists to help organize all the videos. Be well.

Adhd and anxiety

[@LJWoodbrr]

I identify strongly with all 9 of the inattention traits but only one of the hyperactivity ones (the first). I take it that means I don't have ADHD, in which case, where can someone like me find help?

[@Toonguyify]

I think that just means you wouldn’t have hyperactive adhd.

What skills are there for learning not to interupt others while they are talking??

[@russellbarkleyphd2023]

I discuss this in my book, Taking Charge of Adult ADHD. There is no surefire way to manage it but I suggest when talking with someone you keep your hand over your mouth as if in a pensive, thoughtful pose while listening to others. its a physical constraint that might help with inhibition. Medication can help as well.

@@russellbarkleyphd2023 thanks Russell thats an interesting technique ill definetly use. I refused to medicate since about 16 eh. Skills before pills.
