I was diagnosed with Inattentive 13hours ago. I'm 50. This explains a lot!
Great interview!
That bit about untreated ADHD making us more susceptible to dementia I had never heard. That's unsettling.
i finally feel heard, thank you for this video. i would love to see more stuff with her.
"They've had hurtful lives and they're figuring it out." Yeah I felt that one
Thank you for this informative talk! I needed to hear this today.
For me it is really complicated. I had absence epilepsy from the age of 2 to the age of 11-12. Now it is possible that I would have developed a lot of these symptoms without the epilepsy but Ican't differenciate the symptoms from medical side effects and I feel like my whole self only started developping after getting freed of my epilepsy and the medication.

Everyone has a level of ADHD. Some are bad enough to need medication. Over 25% of people in prison have a serious problem.
No they don’t because it only counts as adhd if it affects your daily lifestyle
