Oh yes, late diagnosed woman in my 40s. From fighting to cope with undiagnosed adhd to finally taken seriously from physicians .... sometimes it feels like just switched to another constant fight against prejudice.
This is the ADHD channel that the world needs. Not another collection of short format videos on the 5 traits that suggest you might have ADHD! This is proper information delivered sympathetically by an expert. Thank you.
One of the best Interviews on this topic and I watched a lot!! Wish my Parents english was better so I could show it to them… got diagnosed with ADD at 43 and they still think I‘m a Drama Queen, as always ;) I‘m Audhd (still waiting for the autism diagnosis) so I just don’t fit the mould for Adhd or Autism in their minds! It’s almost funny that my father always felt like something was wrong with me, but now that I know that he was right in some way he thinks I’m wrong again… grmpf
I'm so sorry your parents so far haven't been open to listening and learning more. Hopefully, as you move forward on your journey, they can open up more and don't judge you by patterns that probably never really fit you and also weren't kind anyway. All the best to you!
I am undiagnosed 36 yr old woman from UK and in the last couple of months I have looked a lot into ADHD on UA-cam. I strongly suspect that I am ADHD as I recognise in myself so much of what is said. A diagnosis would honestly change my life. Without these resources we now have on youtube etc I don’t think the idea of ADHD would have ever crossed my mind. For this I am so grateful! Thank you Ben, a fantastic interview, Dr Lloyd was wonderful :)
‘We’ve not resourced this properly’ is bang on as the reason for cynicism amongst politicians which is actually denial. Say a problem doesn’t exist so you don’t have to do anything about it, BAH! So damaging.
Really found this useful. I'm late diagnosed ADHD inattentive and the diagnosis just explains so much of my life. Going through titration at the moment so we'll see how that goes. Thank you so much for arranging this discussion.
Thanks very much for a refreshingly coherent discussion. I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 58 and I'd like to know more about the link between ADHD and childhood trauma but I'm finding it impossible to see an NHS specialiast about this.
This is possibly the best video on neurodiversity I have ever watched! I'm a very late (52) diagnosed autist and there are so many parallels here with ADHD and I do wonder if I also have some in my mix. Thank you, keep the great content coming!
I'm also autistic so the symptoms regulate each other a bit, but internally, I'm in a constant fight because of this. I'm 52 and just know about being both for a few months, I'm diagnosed Adhd but it didn't make sense, all by itself. I was already shocked by this diagnose but realising I'm autistic as well, really hit me. I'm just trying to get a grip on how I was able to survive, having been abused since childhood with having CPTSD, raising my children totally on my own, working while I had Fibromyalgia for a decade and being continously exposed to my family's emotional abuse.
May I ask what he was a famous pactioner in? Quite a few medical professionals haven't researched the latest (some is 5-6 years old now) neurological evidence (fMRI) of the condition. Thus, they are unaware of this neurodevelopmental condition. The regions it's witnessed in, the size, and the density of those regions and the potential for connective problems between these regions.

This is very helpful, thank you. Late diagnosed 59yo female who is struggling to understand this Audhd diagnosis. We need more videos like this.

Possibly the most informative and straightforward podcast/video on the topic I've watched, and I've hyperfocused for years!

Thanks for asking my Question Ben ! Now I go on to get a diagnosis when suffering extreme anxiety and depression post Hysterectomy is another battle.

This resonates with me. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Ben and Thank you Dr Tony ❤
Thank you for making such great and enlightening content. I’m so grateful for your investment and time into this topic! 🙏🙌
Amazing, amazing, amazing! 👏🥰
I was in a psychotherapy lecture with a very famous practitioner who said ADHD was a ‘fad’.
May I ask what he was a famous pactioner in? Quite a few medical professionals haven't researched the latest (some is 5-6 years old now) neurological evidence (fMRI) of the condition. Thus, they are unaware of this neurodevelopmental condition. The regions it's witnessed in, the size, and the density of those regions and the potential for connective problems between these regions.
Psychotherapy operates under a competing business model. Everything is childhood trauma, you need to spend 20+ years in therapy to "heal".
