I have a few relatives & friends that adhd but they were entirely anti-social. I ticked 5/10 of the above questions, but behavior-wise I'm completely normal. Do I too have it?
i was formerly diagnosed in middle school and i never truly believed it until it was in college. i remember in hs talking to my therapist about not believing i have adhd and she said ‘you’re a 9/10 for symptoms’
@@k8_cringe I clicked on your comment on accident, but then I was like "woah, sorry...kate." but I said it like really emphasized for some reason😂 I thought it was funny...anyways bye😅😅🤠
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Saw people talking about..checked him out, I must say he's good at what he does. My son is clean 1 year now. Good luck. just micro dose and you won't trip. Mushrooms helped my son get off opioid.
Haha same ! "Are you easily distracted ?" *Oh, I like that shirt. What that in this toys hand, a gun ? a sword ? a stick ? Was the light purple all the time ? Is it purple or pink ? * "No"
I’m almost certain I have ADHD, but my parents are brushing it aside because they think it’s my anxiety/PTSD… I relate to just about every symptom there is. We were at the doctor’s office the other day talking about the likelihood of it, but my parents AND the doctor all made me burst into tears because they told me it’s just my anxiety. I’m so sick of not being heard. However, my therapist told my parents that she recommends me seeing a psychiatrist, and thank goodness she said that, or else I might never get diagnosed. They’re all on board with me seeing a psychiatrist, but just to look into medications for my anxiety, not ADHD… please pray for me 🙏😞
If you relate to every symptoms, trust your guts and talk to a psychiatrist about what's on your heart, not about what other people expects you to. Unfortunately, many doctors are not trained to diagnose ADHD yet, so it's important that you seek the help of a professional who is aware of the symptoms and could establish a proper diagnosis for you. It will get better soon! 💪
Simply tell your therapist. If they don't listen. Ask for another one. It is often personality dependant. Like customer service in general. Just keep trying until you get the right person. Unless, you go through a boatload of people. Then the problem may be something different.
Keep in mind that PTSD and ADHD have a massive symptom overlap. Check out a few videos and websites on comparisons between ADHD and PTSD. You may have one or both. If you haven’t already had the psychiatrist appt, good luck.
Tbh there's evidence to suggest childhood trauma causes a lot of cognitive, mood and personality disorders. Autism spectrum stuff figures somehow, too. So it's really hard to separate anything trauma related from any diagnosis, especially as it's so common. It does take a specialist. It's also why professionals are moving away from DSM style criteria and working on managing symptoms first. That does require some element of patience on your part.
Me: has been diagnosed years ago twice because I wasn’t sure My brain now: okay but what if you’re wrong Me, thinking about a third diagnosis test: what if I’m wrong
10/10 i got every single thing he said and i almost cried how detailed and relatable these things he said word to word were, but im scared to tell my parents but then find out that i have nothing, it will look like i fake it but i really don't!
i used to be in the exact same boat as you. have a teacher contact your parents on your behalf, or just outright ask them. idk what your family situation is like. also the actual test is pretty much just a questionnaire similar to this. which of these symptoms do u have? how long have u noticed them? do u have family history with adhd? stuff like that. if u have 10/10 of these, i would bet money that u have adhd.
Oh goodness, this happened to me but it was with a tree... I don’t even know how it happened, I was avoiding the windows, then I see a tree... it was a windy day, the tree was just swaying.
@@simonsayys7346 oh god i feel you except my high school narrowed it down to the first class to 2 hours the second class to 1 hour and the last class to another 2 hours🤢
Lol same, I start my assignments waay too late, then I hyperfocus and get it done in half the time it would actually take, then the next day I feel completely exhausted and terrible about it. And while I know this is not really the most efficent way of doing things, I can't do it any other way, because at the end I finish it, so this method works, right?
I don't start all my projects after the deadline but I absolutely procrastinate and start them as late as possible. I also have trouble finding the motivation to actually do stuff.
@@47ratsinahoodie the last part is accurate for me, I need to have a perfect weather and perfect mood to start a project. Otherwise I'll just procrastinate until it pressures me
Yes to everything (to an oddly high degree) except these two: 1. Being late. I tell people in my family that being on time = being late. My way of avoiding this is to give myself a 30% time buffer for everything I need to do that's important. Walking to the dentist is the most recent example: takes 20-25 minutes of walking (depending on speed) but I will leave at *latest* 30 minutes prior. How do I do that? By doing everything to prepare for leaving 5-10 minutes prior bare minimum. So I'm getting my shoes on 40 minutes prior. Where do those 10 minutes go between then and when I leave? Beats me. 2. Interrupting people because I need to get my thought out. I think talking on the forums my whole life has allowed me to be OK with not getting my thoughts across. I've posted tens of thousands of times, and not getting a single thought out isn't a big deal. Now....when I'm passionate about something, that's a different story. Even then however, I try to show signs of wanting to speak. If the other person wants to have a good conversation, they will usually pick up on it and let me talk; the struggle there is listening to them while I wait. If they simply don't catch on or don't care, I get the immediate realization that it's not important to share the thought with *them* in-particular. I usually end up losing interest in any conversation after that and stop engaging with them pretty quickly. Now, that can lead to me being selfish, and I try to keep that in mind; perhaps they genuinely just didn't pick up on queues I thought were obvious (putting my hand up slightly and starting to talk but stopping within 1 word usually.) Anyways...when there was a string of "yes, that's me" it was kinda 'funny,' because I started getting a bit emotional...followed by you talking about the emotional part. I don't get emotional often, but weird things can hit me hard. I don't really care to get diagnosed professionally, but I'm glad to know how I can start understanding myself better. Thanks.
I get a lot of drawing ideas right before I go to sleep but I always have to draw them and write some context or else I'll forget it by morning. Every day, I almost completely forget the entire previous day and I can forget things I was just told or that just happened in as little as two minutes (luckily that's not often). I think there could be something else going on as well but I think ADHD is a contributing factor.
What really helped me in deciding whether I should get tested (which I eventually did) was reading experiences from other people with ADHD. The list of symptoms to me always sounded recognisable, but as you said, it's a list of things that many people experience anyway, ADHD or not. Just reading r/ADHD and going "wow this is literally me" on every post, as well as hearing the experiences of content creators I watch that have ADHD, eventually led me to believe that I really might have it, and I can conclude that relating to experiences of others can help greatly in making that decision.
basically what I am doing right now. Did you get a diagnosis in the end or were you just broken (asking for someone who also relates a lot but then again it could also just be confirmaiton bias)
lol same whenever i see a symptom i think "wow i think might have adhd" and then i'm like "NO WAIT I CANT PIGEONHOLE MY BRAIN IS FAKING IT WHAT IF I DONT HAVE IT"
I started this thinking "I don't have ADHD but this'll be fun" then I realized I matched with a lot of the symptoms. But I ended the video saying "that was fun but I don't have ADHD" 😂
I don't comment on videos often, but I came back to this video years later and watching it again made me smile. I originally found this video when I was 18 and going through a super rough point in my life and it was through videos like this that I recognized my own ADHD and was able to get a diagnosis and treatment. I even showed your video to my parents when I told them I thought I might have ADHD. So I wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this and helping people like me to understand themselves and their brains better!
Not me pausing the video to count the 20 different art projects I've collected and I haven't started yet, and the 10 others that are only half done. Immediately takes a left turn to the chores I've been meaning to do for at least a week and haven't gotten to despite trying
@@itsjustlarkspur1750 I legit didn't know not everyone can not work while the teacher is talking. Lol I will literally sit there and just yeah space out. Then the teacher will come over to me and yeah
I thought this was just me, too! Weirdly, when the teacher is talking even to other students nearby, I can't focus on my work and get agitated, almost angry, if you will, then I zone out
This could be a complete revelation in my life. I wrote down every symptom you listed and I can say I have, or really worked hard to overcome every single one my entire life. Think it’s time to talk to someone. Thanks for putting this together.
"Are you easily distracted/ Do you hyperfocus?" me: *Either gets too distracted to do something, or too focused and intent on finishing it to the point of burnout. No in between*
Been on a waiting list to get diagnosed for around 4 years, and in this video, every question was a yes. My mom also thinks she has it as well and some people don’t understand what it is like for us, so I got told growing up: “Attention Seeking”, “YOUR OVERREACTING, STOP IT”, “DON’T SNAP AT ME”, the list could go on forever. Luckily, awareness of ADHD is spreading but still, not everybody gets it especially Boomers, Gen Z, and sometimes Millennials. But they also can have it, but they didn’t know back then, and they might still not know now. My mom got harshly punished as a child because of ADHD, so please, just spread the awareness of it. Thank you.
I'm Gen X - the one everybody forgets. When I was a kid it was called "hyperactive" and it was usually the squirrelly boy in class that was labeled "hyper". Every report card I had said I was smart but spent all day in class daydreaming, staring out the window and talking with classmates. I was always called lazy and in trouble for not studying, not cleaning my super disorganized room and being super emotional about everything. I am 57 now and always wonder how different my life might have been had I been diagnosed and treated at a young age.
@@junipersystem dangit i saw a notification saying you had replied with this (sometimes youtube gives me notifications saying someone has replied to a comment that ive liked/also replied to) and i got distracted and now i have to try to remember what i was going to do in the first place
FUK :( Now you're making me think about actually doing the homework after spending 4 hours staring at a question I just realized I already solved. God I'm so stupid.
“Do you have trouble with your short term memory?” HA! Dude I sometimes forget my thoughts immediately after thinking them, particularly with ideas, I don't know why
Hahahah this 😂 whenever i talk something, and the person asks me to repeat it, i find it almost impossible to repeat.. Also when I need to tell what happened if someone asks me.. Damn, i am wasting all of my energy trying to find words
You ever sneeze and then have to try and convince yourself you actually sneezed because you kinda half forgot it happened , like you sneeze then 2 minutes later you have to convince yourself you actually sneezed .... Yeah that happens to me all the time lol
I’ve always been told I have ADHD by other people and I just brushed it off, afterwatching this and everything listed is basically me, I’ve now booked a GP appointment 😂 thank you sir
"Are you easily distracted/overly emotional?" Me: Nah no way. Also me: *has a meltdown if someone asks me to do another task while I'm in the middle of a task*
10/10. I add those points too: My voice changes; for instance, when "I'm relaxed" I never relaxed, but when I start work, when i wake up, or something, my voice is normal calm and soft. But when I'm feeling motivated, my way of speaking speeds up and my tone changes, sometimes reaching a high-pitched, fast pace like a squeaky mouse. I can't seem to control it, and I can't take possession of it. Furthermore, I act like a child when I work - and I do this professionally. I exhibit childlike behaviors, such as being constantly cheerful, highly motivated, always smiling, helping everyone, joking, and engaging in playful movements, some of which may seem silly but bring smiles. I'm genuine, I don't put on airs, I have no pretensions, and everything seems to go well for me. I don't experience jealousy at work, and sometimes, I struggle to discern whether someone is making fun of me or not. I speak rapidly to the point that people can't keep up, and they often ask me to repeat what I just said. I'm not a native English speaker, and I often receive compliments for speaking like a native. However, if people aren't English speakers, they find it hard to follow the thread of the conversation and ask me to repeat it, most of the times slow me down -.-. Slow speakers seem boring to me, and I struggle to follow them because I'm always thinking, thinking, thinking when they are speaking. For me, work is like a game. I enjoy it, love interacting with people, helping them, and exploring with them if they have any issues or can't find something. I hyper focus on things, and I keep searching for a solution until I find a solid point. I always ask for forgiveness for everything: if I do something, if I move and touch someone, if I walk in front of people talking, if I accidentally brush against someone, or if they are in the wrong. Apologizing is a constant part of my daily life, and I don't know how to stop it. I've tried, but it keeps coming back.
Try and reach out to someone if you think you have it it’s better just to know if you have it then not knowing that way you can help yourself also I really like your profile picture.
it's especially hard when you were born as a very smart person and now you don't know how to study and you can't focus on things that you have learned before so everyone just thinks that you are lazy and then get mad at you
once i tried to do a meditation tactic where u imagine a storm-tossed sea that calms down and comes under ur control and i literally got hit in the face by a crab. i dont even-
I literally couldn't focus for more than 20 seconds so i just scrolled and read what each part of the vid was about and that answered each of those questions literally
I was diagnosed with ADHD at like 8 years old. On Adderall and Ritalin one time or another in elementary school. I think I stopped taking them before middle school. Anyhow, I'm 37 years old now and I can assure you that you can overcome many of these deficits. I never suffered from lack of attention to detail, but definitely all the others. I did estimating for a year or two in my early 20s and I've been in aerospace manufacturing for over 10 years. Definitely helped me with time management and organization. Maturing will help with impulsivity and "shutting off your brain". My strategy with getting to sleep is actually to focus on one particular thing. I will literally build a story in my mind of a project (building a wooden table) or an activity (taking my family out on an adventure) I want to do. Usually less than 5 minutes later, and I'm asleep. Otherwise my mind will be racing about what I need to do because I forgot to check my project list and I still need to set up an appointment with this or that person, etc. (and for the record, attention to detail is often where I get stuck) Good luck!
This is me too I keep telling my self to go to bed at 11 and every might I end up staying up till about 5 am and sleeping in till noon cuz I diddnt sleep enough that night
Thank you so much for this. I think I finally needed to hear that. I am now looking for a doctor in my region who can help me with getting meds. It's not only troubling my personal life with for example time management, but also holding me back with getting my studies done. I really want to finish my bachelor and I do need help with it because I constantly find myseld avoiding to start learning. And yes, there is always the thought "I am too lazy" coming with it...
I feel like I'm tricking myself into thinking I have these symptoms. Like , by hearing him saying it, and the fact it says ADHD test in the title I keep thinking that I'm manipulating my brain into believing I do these things....is that normal, or am I just messed up
Honestly? Same here, I feel exactly the same and it's so confusing. My brain is saying that I just want to convince myself that I have ADHD so I'm making things up or not being honest, it's so confusing I don't know anything anymore.
I've previously been told I was Borderline Personally Disorder, could relate to some things but not a lot. Then it was Bipolar 2, again I can identify with this a lot closer. Now I've been told some parts Borderline personally disorder 2 but predominantly ADHD. But still wonder if all I want is a label. In some ways, a label can help me to receive treatment or make changes in my life to help me cope better.
If you think you're tricking yourself into having a disorder, you're probably not. I struggle with the same problem and sexuality a lot. I think I'm tricking myself into being bisexual and I'm actually a lesbian. Thing is: I AM attracted to men, and the label of bisexual fits me really well. So I'm bisexual.
me: relates to all of them also me: stop self diagnosing you're just seeking attention my family when my emotions are over the place: HoRmOnEs or they may blame it on the phone 4 month update: still chillin here listening to the same thing waiting for them to allow me to see a doctor
If hormons are the same excuse with pregnancy just say hey yup hormons must be pregnant oh im a guy well if its hormones i must prepare for the baby. Might be enough to confuse the hell out of them enough to get you checked out buahahah
Love how several times he would say a symptom and I’d be like “nah not really” and then he would give examples of what he means and I’d be like “….. oh”
My girlfriend and I broke up recently hopefully not long term. And I thought her advice of getting assessed for adhd was a little crazy till I read up on it and every single one almost I had the ahhh shit maybe she’s right moments.
K Roberts oh my life yes.... I’m working from home today and I’ve managed to bake bread, clean the house do laundry and get stuck in a UA-cam dive... have I started work yet?... no. Will I? I’m truly trying lol
I'm already on this video because I got distracted from something else I was doing. 8.5 / 10. No issues with emotional control any more than any other regular person. Did break some controllers as a kid, not that many though. Some impulsivity, but I've learned a few ways to control it. Everything else is a thousand times yes and I think a lot of that was me since early childhood.
@@kimberle2008 So agreeable. Research mode is so real for me. All of my friends rely on me to do online research for them when it comes to buying things. Ill go down into a 6+ hour rabbit hole, looking at mass reviews and youtube reviews.
It makes me mad when people say that “ADHD is fake” or that “everyone has ADHD”, people don’t know how tiring, hard, and stressful it is to actually have it. People have said to me things like “just focus, sit down, or be still” LIKE BRO I PHYSICALLY CANTTTTTTT. I was diagnosed on the 8th grade and I wish more people talked about it and ways to manage it.
omg I just spent the last 1.5 hours replying to your comment, and freaking accidently DELETED IT!!!!! it was prob tldr anyway. one thing I was saying was that I can't sit still to save my life and my leg will just bounce, up and down and people will come up to me and try to hold my leg down, or tell me to stop cuz I'm driving them nuts. I HATE THAT!!
I totally agree with you. I have had ADHD since I was 3, and I couldn't even tell you how many time I was sent to the principal's office because I couldn't either focus on my work or stay in one place. As well as people who get so mad that they think I am faking it and think I am someone who is acting out just to get attention...... Like I mean I don't like even being looked at let alone wanting to have attention.
Yup thanks god I was diagnosed when I was like 6 so I always knew but I like wachind videos like these because like in the part of the Amazon thing I have never related so much or if something pops up in my head I HAVE to say it or I will forget. I am also a girl so that makes me extra lucky to be diagnosed since I was little and videos like these mkae me realize again.. cuz I literally forget that people actually do the same things I do lol
I have 10/10 of these. This would make sense. The only thing I don't do is interrupt people but that is mainly because it pisses me off when people do it so I have "trained" myself to not do it. I do still go "Oh!" as soon as it pops in and I just stack my head super fast if they try to stop talking to hear me.
My personal answers, 1: Yes, starting from my personal projects and given projects with deadlines. Like i'll blame myself after getting that guilt, while feeling like the smartest person after doing a project earlier. 2: Depends? Maybe when it comes to question, instruction, conversation, I often struggle to pay attention and it really piss me off. But when it comes to art-y things, I really pay much attention. 3: YES. at conversation, task, and all you've said is related to me. It's like not too often but happens. I often think that people are actually gaslighting me when they say I'm supposed to do B intead of A. 4: Yes. If I enjoy something, I'll pay much attention to it, but idt it's that bad. 5. Oh yes. I can't even describe it with words. 6: No. I organize my things, and it feels irritating to see somethings dislocated to a proper place. Well sometimes I feel a bit lazy in some phase and i think it's normal. 7: Yes. It feels like catastrophe. But I assume most people are like that, especially in this era? Or is it iust me? idk. 8: Yes, but it's not that bad. 9: YES. Connected to the point 3, oh gosh it's bad. I even take vitamins because who knows what's going on. 10: Yes. I could write 14 different articles and video contents at that one time, but choose to not write it because I choose to be lazy... And this doesn't happened once, it's a loss. And after watching this video, I feel like I'm over reacting and don't deserve this score.
1. Trouble starting projects 2. Poor attention to detail 3. Easily distracted 4. Hyperfocus 5. Bad time management 6. Disorganized 7. Over emotional 8. Impulsive 9. Forgetful 10. Trouble shutting off your brain Just because I completely forgot everything he said the moment this video was over, I made a cheat sheet for us 😂
I get that alot with Videos & Movies or zoning out in the middle of a conversation or getting distracted. It is hard trying to stay calm when someone is yelling at you for zoning out or getting easily distracted. I know that ive got ADHD proven from a doctor but it helps me to understand more about it. I would love to help everyone else out with their problems and mis - understandings. If there is anything else on your mind that you would like more support with Feel free to send me a email johnnyuren2000@gmail.com or message me on facebook Johnny Uren. My profile picture has a rainbow with stars on it behind me and my cover picture is fireworks.
1: I think about the project, I rarely start it....even in school I rarely did homework. 2: Terrible attention to detail. I don't read things properly.....even in school I failed exams through not reading things properly. 3: I'm very easily distracted. I had to listen to this video several times because I got distracted and have always been this way. 4: I can hyperfocus on things I enjoy....always was able to. 5: I arrive on time to things (usually super early because I'm afraid of being late) but in my family we have this saying "mamma time"...that means I say to someone I'm gonna be gonna 15 mins, 20 max...and will show up 3 hours later....so now they ask me "is that actual time or mamma time"..... 6: I'm very disorganised. I actually cleaned my desk yesterday, it's a mess again today like it was never tidied. 7: I have serious issues with my emotions....always have done. 8: I'm very impulsive....from as far back as I can remember. 9: Extremely forgetful, I can't remember things from yesterday. 10: My brain never shuts up, it keeps me awake. I'm 47 and although I finally remembered to submit the paperwork, once I remembered to fill it in, I'm still awaiting a diagnosis which takes a very long time to process here.
When your parents don’t “believe” in mental health (edit: holy shit I’ve never gotten this many likes also that’s kinda sad how many people relate to this)
Mine call me "normal" as if ppl with mental disorders aren't normal ? (Also I have depression, anxiety and ptsd so I'm not new to this...but my ex, who has adhd says I might have a 78% chance of actually have it😅)
Maddi Leigh I brought adhd up to my mom and she actually admitted that I probably have it but won’t do anything because she thinks medication will make my grades go down but she still denies that multiple school counselors and nurses have said I have anxiety and she called my panic attacks asthma and even tried to get an inhaler
“Do you have trouble starting projects, but fly through the planning part really easily?” Me, whose planned out seven novels but have started none of them: 👁 👄 👁
This video is why I'll finally go to my doctor about my problem with adhd..I think I have it...not sure...self diagnosed, but its obvious..thank you for makeing it...great explanation!
Can people really just... stop thinking?? Like they don’t think about how they’re not thinking and then think about how they’re thinking about how they’re not thinking etc etc???
@@SketchUT Yeah its wierd like I can focus and unfocus. I'm doing that on accident but my brains thinking about something else. But I didn't know that you could like turn off your brain and sleep for example I'm writing this at 03:31am- I am sleep deprived and *not tired*
When I try to clear my mind it works for less than a second and I think about everything I’m not thinking about like random things like what I had for dinner a few days ago and different tv shows from when I was 5.
1. Yes. I spend so much time planning and organising every little thing but when its time to actually be productive and put those plans into action I will put it off or try for a small amount of time until I stop because I "can't be bothered" or "am not in the mood anymore". Everything i do is based on my mood, I can never really be disciplined and do what needs to be done despite how I feel. 2. I'm not sure. When it comes to reading books or watching movies I don't really notice or remember the minor details. Only the main events. Not sure if that counts. Sometimes I will skim read over long descriptions because I find them boring (I find a lot of Stephen King novels dull for the unnecessary descriptions that he includes. I just want to get to the meat of the story) But when it comes to things like instructions I will analyse the words over and over again to make sure I've completely understood what is being said. Same when I'm studying. I will reread repeatedly until that information is processed fully and understand. 3. Yes and no. When I'm fully engrossed in something I will be fully engrossed but the conversation thing absolutely is me. If I'm not 100% invested in the topic of conversation I find it very difficult to actually listen to what the person is saying and find myself simply hearing and not listening. I hate it because it then turns into a small bout of anxiety where I'm focusing more in the moment about the fact that I'm not listening instead of focusing on listening. It makes me so look so rude and ignorant. 4. And then I touched on this one in my previous comment. If I'm fully engrossed in something I will completely block everything else out. I cannot multitask for the life of me. I can only focus on one thing at a time. 5. This is a strong no. I'm very very aware of my time. I'm always early, I hate the thought of being late. I'm very fixated on preplanning my time so I know when I need to be up and how much time I need to be ready. When I'm at work I'm constantly figuring out the timing of my breaks etc throughout the day lol. 6. Yes and no. Like I've said before I'm always planning and organising but not actually doing. Maybe I'm not very organised in the physical sense though and if that is what that means then no I'm not. I'm constantly playing catch up to the chores that need doing. I plan and organise my chore schedule and tasks that need to be done but very rarely actually follow through with that plan. So in that sense I am not organised. 7. I guess so. My heart very much rules over my head. I let my emotions completely take control and on reflection I do feel like I get easily upset. When I'm frustrated about something that isn't really that big of a deal my natural instinct is just to cry and if someone else was to be there to see this reaction it would make look quite childish. A grown adult crying because the WiFi still hasn't come back on after half an hour. A grown adult crying because the electric can opener that I bought won't open the can lol. Silly things like this I have genuinely shed tears over lol. Quite embarrassing. 8. I have noticed often that my partner will say something happened not too long ago and I will not remotely remember it. I will outright have arguments with him about how that never happened and he is adamant that I did and will say I have such a bad memory. On that same note he wont remember anything that happened a long time ago but I will remember vividly and will tell him that HE has a shit memory hahah 9. The last one I would say no. I dont really have this problem. Not much to add to that really. So from this would someone be able to help me regarding what my answers mean since quite a lot of them are nuanced

We both are opposites then! Im 15 and i just discovered i have it, i didnt even know until i read what adhd actually meant lol
I have a few relatives & friends that adhd but they were entirely anti-social. I ticked 5/10 of the above questions, but behavior-wise I'm completely normal. Do I too have it?
“are you easily distracted?”

Me, who’s already been diagnosed with ADHD: “I think I might have ADHD”
Never hurts to check in with yourself :)
i was formerly diagnosed in middle school and i never truly believed it until it was in college. i remember in hs talking to my therapist about not believing i have adhd and she said ‘you’re a 9/10 for symptoms’
Lol me too
But I have ADD
lmao
@@k8_cringe I clicked on your comment on accident, but then I was like "woah, sorry...kate." but I said it like really emphasized for some reason😂 I thought it was funny...anyways bye😅😅🤠
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with ADHD. Spent my whole life fighting ADHD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
YES very sure of Predroshrooms
Where do I reach this dude? If possible can I find him on Google
Yes he's Predroshrooms. I know few friends who no longer suffer ptsd and anxiety with the help of shrooms. Never had to take shrooms after then.
Thanks for sharing this great information, this would help my son.
Saw people talking about..checked him out, I must say he's good at what he does. My son is clean 1 year now. Good luck. just micro dose and you won't trip. Mushrooms helped my son get off opioid.

Samee
Yep same with me lol
I’m almost certain I have ADHD, but my parents are brushing it aside because they think it’s my anxiety/PTSD… I relate to just about every symptom there is. We were at the doctor’s office the other day talking about the likelihood of it, but my parents AND the doctor all made me burst into tears because they told me it’s just my anxiety. I’m so sick of not being heard. However, my therapist told my parents that she recommends me seeing a psychiatrist, and thank goodness she said that, or else I might never get diagnosed. They’re all on board with me seeing a psychiatrist, but just to look into medications for my anxiety, not ADHD… please pray for me 🙏😞
If you relate to every symptoms, trust your guts and talk to a psychiatrist about what's on your heart, not about what other people expects you to. Unfortunately, many doctors are not trained to diagnose ADHD yet, so it's important that you seek the help of a professional who is aware of the symptoms and could establish a proper diagnosis for you. It will get better soon! 💪
Simply tell your therapist. If they don't listen. Ask for another one. It is often personality dependant. Like customer service in general. Just keep trying until you get the right person. Unless, you go through a boatload of people. Then the problem may be something different.
Keep in mind that PTSD and ADHD have a massive symptom overlap. Check out a few videos and websites on comparisons between ADHD and PTSD. You may have one or both. If you haven’t already had the psychiatrist appt, good luck.
Tbh there's evidence to suggest childhood trauma causes a lot of cognitive, mood and personality disorders. Autism spectrum stuff figures somehow, too. So it's really hard to separate anything trauma related from any diagnosis, especially as it's so common. It does take a specialist.
It's also why professionals are moving away from DSM style criteria and working on managing symptoms first. That does require some element of patience on your part.

its a gift to hav adhd bro really iv lived with it on the extream way for over 25 years yh
Don't be afraid to tell your parents:)
But If you're really uncomfortable with it, try to tell a friend or a family member!
You don't have to say you have it, you say you think you might have it & maybe want to get it checked out!
i used to be in the exact same boat as you.
have a teacher contact your parents on your behalf, or just outright ask them. idk what your family situation is like.
also the actual test is pretty much just a questionnaire similar to this. which of these symptoms do u have? how long have u noticed them? do u have family history with adhd? stuff like that. if u have 10/10 of these, i would bet money that u have adhd.
same here...I have done several adhd tests and all of them said that i've adhd...as an asian i'm super scared to tell my parents😶

Me: “what that’s possible?”
King Melon when did he say that
King Melon meeee
insane Sienna 6:19
HONESTLY
King Melon wait I didn’t know people could do that...I think I’m stupid
Yes to everything (to an oddly high degree) except these two:
1. Being late. I tell people in my family that being on time = being late. My way of avoiding this is to give myself a 30% time buffer for everything I need to do that's important. Walking to the dentist is the most recent example: takes 20-25 minutes of walking (depending on speed) but I will leave at *latest* 30 minutes prior. How do I do that? By doing everything to prepare for leaving 5-10 minutes prior bare minimum.
So I'm getting my shoes on 40 minutes prior. Where do those 10 minutes go between then and when I leave? Beats me.
2. Interrupting people because I need to get my thought out. I think talking on the forums my whole life has allowed me to be OK with not getting my thoughts across. I've posted tens of thousands of times, and not getting a single thought out isn't a big deal. Now....when I'm passionate about something, that's a different story.
Even then however, I try to show signs of wanting to speak. If the other person wants to have a good conversation, they will usually pick up on it and let me talk; the struggle there is listening to them while I wait. If they simply don't catch on or don't care, I get the immediate realization that it's not important to share the thought with *them* in-particular. I usually end up losing interest in any conversation after that and stop engaging with them pretty quickly.
Now, that can lead to me being selfish, and I try to keep that in mind; perhaps they genuinely just didn't pick up on queues I thought were obvious (putting my hand up slightly and starting to talk but stopping within 1 word usually.)
Anyways...when there was a string of "yes, that's me" it was kinda 'funny,' because I started getting a bit emotional...followed by you talking about the emotional part. I don't get emotional often, but weird things can hit me hard.
I don't really care to get diagnosed professionally, but I'm glad to know how I can start understanding myself better.
Thanks.
“Do you get bored easily” went straight to the comments and zoned out from the video..
M L P oh my god
omg why did I do this after like 5 seconds

That happens to everyone
That was the first thing I did-
"Do you struggle remembering things you were literally just told?"
Me: Sorry what were you saying?
Oml same I do that lol
Not me in my class going over a power point and absolutely remembering nothing right after it.
I get a lot of drawing ideas right before I go to sleep but I always have to draw them and write some context or else I'll forget it by morning. Every day, I almost completely forget the entire previous day and I can forget things I was just told or that just happened in as little as two minutes (luckily that's not often). I think there could be something else going on as well but I think ADHD is a contributing factor.
Me: shit *skips back 10 seconds for the third damn time*

“Do you get distracted easily?” “Do you have trouble concentrating”

i immediatley started doing that as soon as the video starts playing i literally have to restart the entire thing just because of it LMFAOO
same but instead i went on my phone and forgot i was watching this
SAME THATS WHAT I WAS JUST DOING
What really helped me in deciding whether I should get tested (which I eventually did) was reading experiences from other people with ADHD. The list of symptoms to me always sounded recognisable, but as you said, it's a list of things that many people experience anyway, ADHD or not. Just reading r/ADHD and going "wow this is literally me" on every post, as well as hearing the experiences of content creators I watch that have ADHD, eventually led me to believe that I really might have it, and I can conclude that relating to experiences of others can help greatly in making that decision.
basically what I am doing right now. Did you get a diagnosis in the end or were you just broken (asking for someone who also relates a lot but then again it could also just be confirmaiton bias)

I don't comment on videos often, but I came back to this video years later and watching it again made me smile. I originally found this video when I was 18 and going through a super rough point in my life and it was through videos like this that I recognized my own ADHD and was able to get a diagnosis and treatment. I even showed your video to my parents when I told them I thought I might have ADHD. So I wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this and helping people like me to understand themselves and their brains better!

Been on a waiting list to get diagnosed for around 4 years, and in this video, every question was a yes. My mom also thinks she has it as well and some people don’t understand what it is like for us, so I got told growing up: “Attention Seeking”, “YOUR OVERREACTING, STOP IT”, “DON’T SNAP AT ME”, the list could go on forever. Luckily, awareness of ADHD is spreading but still, not everybody gets it especially Boomers, Gen Z, and sometimes Millennials. But they also can have it, but they didn’t know back then, and they might still not know now. My mom got harshly punished as a child because of ADHD, so please, just spread the awareness of it. Thank you.
I'm Gen X - the one everybody forgets. When I was a kid it was called "hyperactive" and it was usually the squirrelly boy in class that was labeled "hyper". Every report card I had said I was smart but spent all day in class daydreaming, staring out the window and talking with classmates. I was always called lazy and in trouble for not studying, not cleaning my super disorganized room and being super emotional about everything. I am 57 now and always wonder how different my life might have been had I been diagnosed and treated at a young age.
Waiting list? My dr just gave me a paper to check stuff off

10/10. I add those points too: My voice changes; for instance, when "I'm relaxed" I never relaxed, but when I start work, when i wake up, or something, my voice is normal calm and soft. But when I'm feeling motivated, my way of speaking speeds up and my tone changes, sometimes reaching a high-pitched, fast pace like a squeaky mouse. I can't seem to control it, and I can't take possession of it. Furthermore, I act like a child when I work - and I do this professionally. I exhibit childlike behaviors, such as being constantly cheerful, highly motivated, always smiling, helping everyone, joking, and engaging in playful movements, some of which may seem silly but bring smiles. I'm genuine, I don't put on airs, I have no pretensions, and everything seems to go well for me. I don't experience jealousy at work, and sometimes, I struggle to discern whether someone is making fun of me or not. I speak rapidly to the point that people can't keep up, and they often ask me to repeat what I just said. I'm not a native English speaker, and I often receive compliments for speaking like a native. However, if people aren't English speakers, they find it hard to follow the thread of the conversation and ask me to repeat it, most of the times slow me down -.-. Slow speakers seem boring to me, and I struggle to follow them because I'm always thinking, thinking, thinking when they are speaking. For me, work is like a game. I enjoy it, love interacting with people, helping them, and exploring with them if they have any issues or can't find something. I hyper focus on things, and I keep searching for a solution until I find a solid point. I always ask for forgiveness for everything: if I do something, if I move and touch someone, if I walk in front of people talking, if I accidentally brush against someone, or if they are in the wrong. Apologizing is a constant part of my daily life, and I don't know how to stop it. I've tried, but it keeps coming back.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at like 8 years old. On Adderall and Ritalin one time or another in elementary school. I think I stopped taking them before middle school. Anyhow, I'm 37 years old now and I can assure you that you can overcome many of these deficits. I never suffered from lack of attention to detail, but definitely all the others.
I did estimating for a year or two in my early 20s and I've been in aerospace manufacturing for over 10 years. Definitely helped me with time management and organization. Maturing will help with impulsivity and "shutting off your brain".
My strategy with getting to sleep is actually to focus on one particular thing. I will literally build a story in my mind of a project (building a wooden table) or an activity (taking my family out on an adventure) I want to do. Usually less than 5 minutes later, and I'm asleep. Otherwise my mind will be racing about what I need to do because I forgot to check my project list and I still need to set up an appointment with this or that person, etc.
(and for the record, attention to detail is often where I get stuck)
Good luck!

I feel like I'm tricking myself into thinking I have these symptoms. Like , by hearing him saying it, and the fact it says ADHD test in the title I keep thinking that I'm manipulating my brain into believing I do these things....is that normal, or am I just messed up
Honestly? Same here, I feel exactly the same and it's so confusing. My brain is saying that I just want to convince myself that I have ADHD so I'm making things up or not being honest, it's so confusing I don't know anything anymore.
I've previously been told I was Borderline Personally Disorder, could relate to some things but not a lot. Then it was Bipolar 2, again I can identify with this a lot closer. Now I've been told some parts Borderline personally disorder 2 but predominantly ADHD. But still wonder if all I want is a label. In some ways, a label can help me to receive treatment or make changes in my life to help me cope better.
If you think you're tricking yourself into having a disorder, you're probably not. I struggle with the same problem and sexuality a lot. I think I'm tricking myself into being bisexual and I'm actually a lesbian. Thing is: I AM attracted to men, and the label of bisexual fits me really well. So I'm bisexual.

Man I have never related to anything more in my life wth
Love how several times he would say a symptom and I’d be like “nah not really” and then he would give examples of what he means and I’d be like “….. oh”
That itself is a symptom 💀
omg saaaame💀
Lmfao well now I need to make a doctors appointment 😅
I know, right!!
My girlfriend and I broke up recently hopefully not long term. And I thought her advice of getting assessed for adhd was a little crazy till I read up on it and every single one almost I had the ahhh shit maybe she’s right moments.
This test is a really good one, i was diagnosed with adhd in the 2nd grade and after watching this video i have 9/10 of the symptoms.
"Do you get bored easily?"

Fantastic Esther omg me
I'm already on this video because I got distracted from something else I was doing.
8.5 / 10. No issues with emotional control any more than any other regular person. Did break some controllers as a kid, not that many though. Some impulsivity, but I've learned a few ways to control it. Everything else is a thousand times yes and I think a lot of that was me since early childhood.
"Today we're going to try and figure out whether or not you have ADHD."

i was similar XD i already know i have it and i was like why not and was like "wow these are so relatable" like duh...

I get so stuck in research mode.
@@kimberle2008 "Research mode" is so relatable, I don't see enough people mention that
@@kimberle2008 So agreeable.
Research mode is so real for me.
All of my friends rely on me to do online research for them when it comes to buying things.
Ill go down into a 6+ hour rabbit hole, looking at mass reviews and youtube reviews.
It makes me mad when people say that “ADHD is fake” or that “everyone has ADHD”, people don’t know how tiring, hard, and stressful it is to actually have it. People have said to me things like “just focus, sit down, or be still” LIKE BRO I PHYSICALLY CANTTTTTTT. I was diagnosed on the 8th grade and I wish more people talked about it and ways to manage it.
omg I just spent the last 1.5 hours replying to your comment, and freaking accidently DELETED IT!!!!! it was prob tldr anyway. one thing I was saying was that I can't sit still to save my life and my leg will just bounce, up and down and people will come up to me and try to hold my leg down, or tell me to stop cuz I'm driving them nuts. I HATE THAT!!
Same here but... I was diagnosed with ADHD..... wait... idek but it was definitely before da age of 5
I was told it my whole life. I got diagnosed when I was born :P
I totally agree with you. I have had ADHD since I was 3, and I couldn't even tell you how many time I was sent to the principal's office because I couldn't either focus on my work or stay in one place. As well as people who get so mad that they think I am faking it and think I am someone who is acting out just to get attention...... Like I mean I don't like even being looked at let alone wanting to have attention.
Yup thanks god I was diagnosed when I was like 6 so I always knew but I like wachind videos like these because like in the part of the Amazon thing I have never related so much or if something pops up in my head I HAVE to say it or I will forget. I am also a girl so that makes me extra lucky to be diagnosed since I was little and videos like these mkae me realize again.. cuz I literally forget that people actually do the same things I do lol
“Are you easily distracted?”
Me: *trying to figure out wtf is on his shelves*
SAME XD
Lmao I was admiring his tall lamp with the Dino on it
Edit: it’s not a Dino it looks like a camera stand
same i was like "one of them kinda looks like power armor, that cool, that's neat, wait what'd he say?"
I wasn't doing this I was getting distracted by some weird fuzzy noise -.-
But cool now I'm wondering what they are (I just typed a whole paragraph any something and had to delete it BC it wasn't what I meant to type)
I have 10/10 of these. This would make sense. The only thing I don't do is interrupt people but that is mainly because it pisses me off when people do it so I have "trained" myself to not do it. I do still go "Oh!" as soon as it pops in and I just stack my head super fast if they try to stop talking to hear me.
"you have to show 6 of these symptoms before the age of 12"
me: shows them before 12
school: nahh you dont have it lmao u aint gettin a diagnosis

Me: Doesn’t remember him saying that
but u did
He said that?
Taliah Macias-Letoto I got to that part and got distracted I watched that part a week ago 💀😭😭
My personal answers,
1: Yes, starting from my personal projects and given projects with deadlines. Like i'll blame myself after getting that guilt, while feeling like the smartest person after doing a project earlier.
2: Depends? Maybe when it comes to question, instruction, conversation, I often struggle to pay attention and it really piss me off. But when it comes to art-y things, I really pay much attention.
3: YES. at conversation, task, and all you've said is related to me. It's like not too often but happens. I often think that people are actually gaslighting me when they say I'm supposed to do B intead of A.
4: Yes. If I enjoy something, I'll pay much attention to it, but idt it's that bad.
5. Oh yes. I can't even describe it with words.
6: No. I organize my things, and it feels irritating to see somethings dislocated to a proper place. Well sometimes I feel a bit lazy in some phase and i think it's normal.
7: Yes. It feels like catastrophe. But I assume most people are like that, especially in this era? Or is it iust me? idk.
8: Yes, but it's not that bad.
9: YES. Connected to the point 3, oh gosh it's bad. I even take vitamins because who knows what's going on.
10: Yes. I could write 14 different articles and video contents at that one time, but choose to not write it because I choose to be lazy... And this doesn't happened once, it's a loss.
And after watching this video, I feel like I'm over reacting and don't deserve this score.
"Do you have trouble shutting off your brain?"

painted scars and then zones out again so you never know what he said
Literally read this comment then realized I missed what he was saying and had to go back 10 seconds 😭😂
9.5/10 i dont really hyperfocus often but do sometimes. Very insightful test, thanks for making this video!!
Him: “Are you easily distracted?”
Me: *Pausing video to vibe with Für Elise because it randomly started playing faintly somewhere in the house*
that song is great though
"Do you find yourself zoning out of a conversation really easily"

6. Disorganized
7. Over emotional
8. Impulsive

Londue || me every time i watch a youtube video
Londue this comment made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I get that alot with Videos & Movies or zoning out in the middle of a conversation or getting distracted. It is hard trying to stay calm when someone is yelling at you for zoning out or getting easily distracted. I know that ive got ADHD proven from a doctor but it helps me to understand more about it. I would love to help everyone else out with their problems and mis - understandings. If there is anything else on your mind that you would like more support with Feel free to send me a email johnnyuren2000@gmail.com or message me on facebook Johnny Uren. My profile picture has a rainbow with stars on it behind me and my cover picture is fireworks.
I still zone out but it helps if you speed up the video. I watched this on speed 1.25 and faster for slow speakers.
i did this so much
Him: talking about adhd
Me: got distracted by the comments immediately
Yes... hello
Oop- same
it's a habit of mine to read them
don't call me out like this, I'm only at 1:23
Oh myyyy.... why are you called me out like that! 😐😐
1: I think about the project, I rarely start it....even in school I rarely did homework.
2: Terrible attention to detail. I don't read things properly.....even in school I failed exams through not reading things properly.
3: I'm very easily distracted. I had to listen to this video several times because I got distracted and have always been this way.
4: I can hyperfocus on things I enjoy....always was able to.
5: I arrive on time to things (usually super early because I'm afraid of being late) but in my family we have this saying "mamma time"...that means I say to someone I'm gonna be gonna 15 mins, 20 max...and will show up 3 hours later....so now they ask me "is that actual time or mamma time".....
6: I'm very disorganised. I actually cleaned my desk yesterday, it's a mess again today like it was never tidied.
7: I have serious issues with my emotions....always have done.
8: I'm very impulsive....from as far back as I can remember.
9: Extremely forgetful, I can't remember things from yesterday.
10: My brain never shuts up, it keeps me awake.
I'm 47 and although I finally remembered to submit the paperwork, once I remembered to fill it in, I'm still awaiting a diagnosis which takes a very long time to process here.
When your parents don’t “believe” in mental health (edit: holy shit I’ve never gotten this many likes also that’s kinda sad how many people relate to this)
Mine call me "normal" as if ppl with mental disorders aren't normal ? (Also I have depression, anxiety and ptsd so I'm not new to this...but my ex, who has adhd says I might have a 78% chance of actually have it😅)
Taco_Bell 1234 ugh, i hate when all those people don't truly believe in those disorders because not everyone takes them seriously
My mom too🙄
Maddi Leigh I brought adhd up to my mom and she actually admitted that I probably have it but won’t do anything because she thinks medication will make my grades go down but she still denies that multiple school counselors and nurses have said I have anxiety and she called my panic attacks asthma and even tried to get an inhaler

This video is why I'll finally go to my doctor about my problem with adhd..I think I have it...not sure...self diagnosed, but its obvious..thank you for makeing it...great explanation!
"Do you find yourself zoning out?"

Me reading this comment: rewinds because I zoned out
I had to watch the last 2 minutes like 6 times
I didn’t even know he said that 😂

"do you have trouble shutting off your brain?"
wait... normal people can do that...
Lmaooooo
Can people really just... stop thinking?? Like they don’t think about how they’re not thinking and then think about how they’re thinking about how they’re not thinking etc etc???
WHAT THEY CAN?!
@@SketchUT Yeah its wierd like I can focus and unfocus. I'm doing that on accident but my brains thinking about something else. But I didn't know that you could like turn off your brain and sleep for example I'm writing this at 03:31am- I am sleep deprived and *not tired*
When I try to clear my mind it works for less than a second and I think about everything I’m not thinking about like random things like what I had for dinner a few days ago and different tv shows from when I was 5.
“Today, we are going to figure out if _you_ have adhd!”
*Me, a person diagnosed with ADHD:* oh well I _need_ to know
menento mori
Memento Mori..
same here xD
memento mori, lads 😔
Memento mori
1. Yes. I spend so much time planning and organising every little thing but when its time to actually be productive and put those plans into action I will put it off or try for a small amount of time until I stop because I "can't be bothered" or "am not in the mood anymore". Everything i do is based on my mood, I can never really be disciplined and do what needs to be done despite how I feel.
2. I'm not sure. When it comes to reading books or watching movies I don't really notice or remember the minor details. Only the main events. Not sure if that counts. Sometimes I will skim read over long descriptions because I find them boring (I find a lot of Stephen King novels dull for the unnecessary descriptions that he includes. I just want to get to the meat of the story)
But when it comes to things like instructions I will analyse the words over and over again to make sure I've completely understood what is being said. Same when I'm studying. I will reread repeatedly until that information is processed fully and understand.
3. Yes and no. When I'm fully engrossed in something I will be fully engrossed but the conversation thing absolutely is me. If I'm not 100% invested in the topic of conversation I find it very difficult to actually listen to what the person is saying and find myself simply hearing and not listening. I hate it because it then turns into a small bout of anxiety where I'm focusing more in the moment about the fact that I'm not listening instead of focusing on listening. It makes me so look so rude and ignorant.
4. And then I touched on this one in my previous comment. If I'm fully engrossed in something I will completely block everything else out. I cannot multitask for the life of me. I can only focus on one thing at a time.
5. This is a strong no. I'm very very aware of my time. I'm always early, I hate the thought of being late. I'm very fixated on preplanning my time so I know when I need to be up and how much time I need to be ready. When I'm at work I'm constantly figuring out the timing of my breaks etc throughout the day lol.
6. Yes and no. Like I've said before I'm always planning and organising but not actually doing. Maybe I'm not very organised in the physical sense though and if that is what that means then no I'm not. I'm constantly playing catch up to the chores that need doing. I plan and organise my chore schedule and tasks that need to be done but very rarely actually follow through with that plan. So in that sense I am not organised.
7. I guess so. My heart very much rules over my head. I let my emotions completely take control and on reflection I do feel like I get easily upset. When I'm frustrated about something that isn't really that big of a deal my natural instinct is just to cry and if someone else was to be there to see this reaction it would make look quite childish. A grown adult crying because the WiFi still hasn't come back on after half an hour. A grown adult crying because the electric can opener that I bought won't open the can lol. Silly things like this I have genuinely shed tears over lol. Quite embarrassing.
8. I have noticed often that my partner will say something happened not too long ago and I will not remotely remember it. I will outright have arguments with him about how that never happened and he is adamant that I did and will say I have such a bad memory. On that same note he wont remember anything that happened a long time ago but I will remember vividly and will tell him that HE has a shit memory hahah
9. The last one I would say no. I dont really have this problem. Not much to add to that really.
So from this would someone be able to help me regarding what my answers mean since quite a lot of them are nuanced
"do you find yourself zoning out of a conversation really easily?"
me: *zones out while he's talking and doesn't pay attention to half of the video*
@ALLEGRA F OMFG tysm
Wait, was that a question ?? 😅
ayo 😭 and i just noticed i did this when i saw the comment
