This series of comments is now gonna be about my personal life and recovery from Catatonia/Catatonic Schizophrenia. About school, I got a little freaky, grabbing other girls' arms(not with friendly intent, trying to take from other girls, etc. I actually grabbed the girl's arm who I took as my own sister for quite some time without realizing. When she said get your hand off me I then realized that I am holding her arm. I also started protecting her a little. I actually cursed myself for being such a creep even though I know that she didn't thick of it like I wanted her romantically. I don't say that I don't have depression because I still curse myself of guilt I am not responsible for. I am still quite positive right now because I overcame my anger issues. I don't wanna talk about my dreams because I don't get them anymore. I have a controversial thing to share. You psychologists remember the time I had a dream in which I was in McDonald's ordering a Bottle Of Prime and a Big Mac If yes, you might be wondering why in the world did I order a Bottle Of Prime Now here is where the controversial thing is. Some time before sleeping I had listened to KSI's song 'Thick Of It' and complimented it in every way possible (not just to stop the controversy but also cause I liked the song. This might lead to a controversy of people saying that I have a very bad taste in music but I like what I like and nobody can change my mind. I don't care whatever society says because I have a personal opinion.
Also I feel Iike I have both Catatonia and ADHD.
Anyways that's pretty much it.
If you read all that congratulations. Here is a cookie

No. It is not 60% of people who had it as a child who experience adhd as an adult. It's 100%. It's just that the ADHD symptoms become masked, because others mistake them for childishness, laziness, poor work ethic, or lack of moral character. And so Adults with ADHD will self report that they have outgrown the problems of their childhood, when really, the symptoms persist or worsen, but their strategies for coping (which may be healthy or unhealthy) have become a part of their psyche. Nobody ever stops having ADHD. They are just shamed into hiding their symptoms, sometimes so deeply that they fool themselves.
ADHD is a neurotype, and it is genetic. You cannot prevent a child from having it by how you raise them, and you cannot cure it with medication. The only true path forward is to recognize how one third of the populations nervous system is motivated by different factors than the rest, and for society and culture to accept that these neurological differences are not a choice, and that they imbue the person with both cognitive benefits and cognitive defects. Treating ADHD with medication is more or less giving people chemicals that make their brain work more like a neurotypical brain so that they can function within the framework of society which is set up for people who find calculus hard but find stocking a pantry easy, that find painting their house hard but find vacuuming easy. That find challenging things hard and boring things easy.
But when you have ADHD, challenging things are easy and simple things are impossible, because you do not experience the flow of time and your working memory only has 1 byte of storage. When you see a second chore that has to be done while doing a 1st chore, you will either forget you are doing the first chore and leave the trash bag in the middle of the room, or you will ignore the 2nd chore and forget to come back to it. Your best day with ADHD is when you find a problem so interesting that nothing distracts you from it. Not even the need to use the toilet. Because those are the days you do great things that earn the admiration of others.

I was one of the lucky few girls in the 90s who was diagnosed. My mother, who paid attention to what the doctors told her-- refused to put me on medication. She saw what happened to all the kids who were on medication during that time and didn't want me to join them. So she shredded all of the paperwork and instead worked tooth and nail to help me become productive.
I still have trouble with things but I have never felt like I needed to be treated differently.
I can do everything everyone else does, I just need to take a slightly different approach.
It has actually been a benefit in a lot of aspects of my career choice because not everyone can be happy for hours on end and willing to help everyone for hours on end. Patience is oddly a super skill when I'm literally able to entertain myself with just helping someone and thinking of everything I could do.
: ) I guess my point is, I don't see why we should feel bad for not thinking the same as everyone else

I’m so glad this video was made bc I’m a girl with ADHD, anxiety, and depression myself and seeing an ADHD video include the gender differences of ADHD just makes me so happy, bro: DDDD It helps others understand not only how to identify/know the signs of ADHD, but to spread more info that girls can also have ADHD. My mom and I are the only ones in my immediate family that have ADHD and both of ours are very severe apparently. My mom had a really rough time as an ADHD girl when she was little so she helps me with mine! Thank you so much, Psych2Go for your videos! They help spread the right info along with supporting people’s lives at the same time! And for those out there who have a mental disorder, keep going. I hope you can find the people you need for support and company: 3 Stay safe y’all!

20 year old male. I got tested a bit ago and they came back as on the line, but normal, but the symptoms have worsened since. My GP still gave me a diagnosis later on due to the severity of my worsening symptoms but for some reason I just can't accept if I have it. Despite all these symptoms describing me to a tee I just refuse to believe it's adhd for some reason. I could swear this is all just normal. The medications don't work the way people say they're supposed to so that also just deepens my odd belief that I just don't have it. along with the previous negative test result. Idk what that's all about.

I've been considering getting diagnosed for years now. As a woman with an excruciating amount of ADHD symptoms it's been a hard battle against all the pre-existing stereotypes around the disorder. I was told by my parents I couldn't possibly have the disorder because I did well in school, even though I was a chronic procrastinator and relied heavily on late work acceptance. It's really wrecked my confidence in myself to identify issues in my life, thank you for spreading awareness and reminding me to keep fighting for myself and my health

I honestly do believe I have adhd, but my parents haven't cared enough to get me tested enough. My mom took me to a psychologist, but they gave me an autism test instead and said they'd call for an adhd test, but never did. My parents didn't make any other attempts to help me. I really want to get tested, but I just can't. No one believes that I have it because I have good grades and don't seem to be struggling It's really annoying. What should I do

I Heavily dislike medication for ADHD, I had to take it as a child to function properly due to symptons, and the long term effects from what i know vary, but they usually ended up making me very emotionally detached or emotionless, or as my parents said not like yourself. (Not in a rude way, in a way that they noticed somethings wrong with doomie. So long term, theyre somewhat bad and I was told i could quit them after it was noticed by my parents.

ADHD often co-occurs with autism too but it seems that autism is too scary for the general public to be mentioned. Here is what you can easily find on any research:
Research suggests that 50 to 70% of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD. Conversely, 20 to 50% of children with ADHD also meet the criteria for autism.

I had to rewind a few times because the speaker is going to fast. I also feel the speaker is lacking something i cannot quite put my finger on. maybe i just miss the old sweet and comforting female voice

Executive function deficit gets a quick pass at around the three minute mark or so. I don't think those words mean much to many people when put together in that way and I feel it's also one of the biggest, if not the biggest cause of problems for people with ADHD. I think it would have been better to slow down at around that point for a slightly deeper explanation.

As a girl with ADHD combined presentation, this is a great video! One thing I'd like to note is that hyperactivity isn't just physical, but can be mental as well. I don't often get physically bounce off the walls hyperactive, but very often I have tons of racing thoughts that run around in my head without stopping. Like being driven by a motor, but my brain, not my limbs.

Im AFAB non-binary, and i was diagnosed with ADHD back in the 90’s when i was 8 or 9 years old. I did take Ritalin for a year but it did absolutely nothing for me. And it definitely got worse as I got older. Im a few days away from turning 40, and my ADHD is a trash can in hell. It makes doing responsibilities difficult and keeping friendships impossible.
