    Discovered that I had adhd when I was about 6 or 7 and my mom got me prescribed to medication. When I started visiting my dad, he thought it was complete non sense and demanded that I stoped taking the medication. Years later when I was in high school I remember being extremely active & wanting to over achieve. I tried taking AP physics, honors Calculus, & AP English. Turned out I had a hard time studying and doing school work compared to my peers,so I concluded that I was simply just not as bright as the other kids. Later on after senior year of HS I become extremely depressed and just couldn't understand how my head worked. I thought there was just a million things I was doing wrong and came down on myself really hard. Now I realise that I've been hating my self because I've never understood myself.

    30:10 It's a bit condescending that the interviewer frames the only two kinds of adult patients as either "having true ADHD" or "just someone trying to get pills." What about the many misdiagnosed patients who are genuinely seeking help? Is there no third option where adults seeking psychiatric care are capable of responsibility? This quickness to label people seeking medical treatment as "just trying to get pills" is dangerous and is no doubt part of the reason why so many adults with ADHD are afraid to get help. It's also why so many adults get stuck and suffer for years from misdiagnoses - because any self-driven attempts to correct the diagnosis are seen as an effort to get drugs.
    I appreciate that Dr. Manos immediately addresses this in his response to her question.

    Probably one of the best discussions/explanations of ADHD I have seen so far. The information/knowledge VS the mythology surrounding ADHD (despite the clinical data that has been accessible for decades) is rife even in DR's and medical practitioners. The NICE guidelines 2018 make it incredibly difficult to see a consultant as an adult even if you have been statemented as a child. Waiting lists tend to sit at around 3+ years (and i'm being kind there). Nothing raises your position on that list and first line (GPs), primary MH and secondary MH teams can only prescribe within their own remits [no fault of their own] which are very often treatments that are not recommended for someone with ADHD i.e. Antipsychotics, or drugs that can produce antagonistic results with dopaminergic and norepinephine reception. Where these drugs can help with the potential side effects of your ADHD symptoms they can also aggravate them over time. Be aware of this if you're seeking help. I'm not a Doctor and you should FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR'S advice. But do your research and ask questions.
    Thank you for posting this video.
    ADHD is so hard to explain to people, especially when you are explaining 'yourself'.

    You know you have adult ADHD when you've typed out what you going to say 3 times, deleted it 3x, started over. This is the best my childhood has ever been explained. Now, I know why I can't say what I'm thinking about the brain, while thinking about the brain, and cry when he starts talking about emotional regulation and it being a part of executive function. Wish this had been discussed when I was a kid.

    I was diagnosed with Adhd at 40 (12 years ago) and this is the first time I hear a professional explain so good and so spot on how it feels to be an adult with adhd. I'm from Belgium and here people and even professional still do not get it. They still think it is overdiagnosed and not really that difficult to live with. They are so wrong. Every day is hard work. As the doctor says, always super enthusiastic and fully committed until it gets a task or boring.

      @@tortoisecamera congratulations, I remember the feeling of finally knowing and how much more intuitive and more intrested in the diagnosis I was. It was definitely a eureka moment. Unfortunately I have not been able to confirm or deny the current diagnosis of being bi-polar or not and just adhd with the other side just being a more intense depression, but I'm not exactly sad. But more cumbersome? That's way to positive I think, really don't know the definition and dare not get lost looking it up and taking another year on this comment 😀 😄 😊 but I go to a mindset where I just lay in bed and I have no interest in doing anything for days sometimes. I'm not looking to deeply into it considering the past year though. But I've become very much a different person when it come to the way I view mental health and people with mental illness for certain. Good luck, find a routine and not a goal/reason, purpose whatever it may be that's to easily achieved 😉 the routine is a thing I struggle with the most still daily and I get lost on a temporary purpose to easily without structure. So easy to say.

    3rd year medical student with adhd who got his diagnosis as an adult here. This is one of the best talks on adhd out there. The guest here mentioned how some people who come to him mentioned their struggle and it really saddens me because I understand exactly how they feel. The potential in us is literally not materialized to its maximum when you look at the big picture. Feeling of always running out of time on time sensitive matters even though your brain feels like it is traveling at the speed of light in infinite directions. A person with adhd can spend hours with their thoughts but feeling like time went by really fast. There are little things that affect us daily, like not remembering directions, taking wrong turns, not remembering peoples names, typing something but you notice there is a word missing here and there. Your brain is functioning at a level that your body can not keep up with it or execute a function in time. The feeling of being a jack of all trades but master of none. The daily struggle is real, like personally I am affected by it so much that I really dont know which specialty to chose because I am worried I will end up hurting someone if I forget something due to just how my brain operates. My biggest struggle is when I have to chart something during patient encounters because my brain is literally firing in all directions and i have to really focus on one thing at a time in order to complete it. When patient tells me their symptoms, I really have to focus on writing it down and during that time my brain loses train of thought and end up not asking the right questions. Your brain is always in a hurry and you really have to slow yourself down in order to achieve something. When I try not to write anything down during the patient encounter, my thought process is more clear and the encounter more natural and smooth. But when you try to chart it after the encounter, either I will miss something or it will take me time to recall everything and chart it. When I have to present patient encounter to my attending, I am so all over the place in my presentation that I look like a dumbass and sometimes forget to mention important things that I did ask.

      It's more of an engineering problem, to build a working system, small yet efficient enough and still usability friendly and capable of catching all the errors properly and it has to be translatable and maintainable.

    One misconception about ADHD especially Inattentive ADD is where they don't remember well and memory is bad.
    Not that true, we have some of the greatest memory, we can't remember much 1 minute ago, because we are distracted by so much information and past memory in are lives. I was born Inattentive ADD, my mom didn't know she was pregnant so she was drinking going out with her friend.

Yeah, it's obviously not "that bad" or "cured" if just today I cried really badly for hours (I had such a headache I'm feeling sick) because I can't bring myself to focus on actually studying for the super important exam.

    Problem with diagnosis - if there is a 'ruling out' stage, ie: patient also has signs of anxiety or depression. It is far more likely that women with ADHD will be misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety, and be put through the ringer with medications that never work. That is a big problem. We should be just as wary with these other so-called diagnoses because making a mistake could lead absolute torture with trialing other meds only to find they don't work, ever increasing doses etc... Just ridiculous. If all the symptoms are present, why not just trial somebody for a week on ADHD meds, at least the person won't get stuck/dependent on them like they would with antidepressants. If they work, the person will see the benefits immediately, vs. antidepressants that require at least 6 weeks. Path of less harm, in my view.

    Man... When he talks about the young man who felt stupid and the who thought she just couldn’t do things, hit so hard.
    I remember thinking how school just wasn’t for me, that I wasn’t smart, that I was lazy and forgetful POS. Being diagnosed recently at 29, things just finally make sense.
