I'm sorry, I am a very sensitive and very intelligent woman. My Grandma died a year before my birth. While my Mom was pregnant with me, she was still in mourning about the passing of her Mother. And I was brutally raped at age 5. I would rather have ADD as a coping meganism than deal with these hurts. I seriously can't handle it. I'm in a stage of shock while typing here. Please just allow me my coping meganism called ADD... I don't take medication and am not addicted to anything at all. I just don't want to deal with past hurts. I can't.

Assuming ADHD is hard wired / genetic in most instances.... Is it possible to develop / program / condition ADHD and/ ADHD-like behaviours from early age as a defence mechanism to cope with early life trauma.

I have never held down a job for longer than a year because I struggle so much to get in on time.

Amazing!!! Thank you! So positive and needed thank you 🙏 Sometimes we feel lonely in our path but this is very encouraging!!!

Never mind job hopping... what about being unemployed all your life? I'm 33 and still unemployed. It's very FRUSTRATING. I can't work because I'm VERY LAZY and TIME-BLIND!

Dr. Jeff is one of my all time favorite humans, thank you for inviting him to speak on your podcast, I loved your questions! ❤

This is exactly the reason I finally chose to go NO CONTACT with my family, after 60 years, as I will no longer allow this threat of abandonment to be used against me. It's neglect and abuse. Listening to this man is very helpful with coming to some understanding as to why they behaved in this fashion. It may not make it easier but it certainly helps to know that the issue was not mine to begin with & is not my fault.

Everybody on this planet has ADHD. Turns out you guys are not that special 😂

We have ADHD in our family. I am a sensitive child. Raised in the 1960s. I was hyper active and bored in school. My parents put me in swim team in middle school. The massive exercise made me sleep at night, straight A student. Captain of the swim team. I have asked to be tested for ADHD at age 66 and I do not have it. What is going on?

He makes more sense to me than most regarding this subject and addiction... brilliant man

Love this

This is how the standard is challenged and new perspectives and solutions are created . This is how love and wisdom clearly breaks through cyclical and old ways thinking -diagnosis dissected dismantled. Thank you Dr Mate. ❤

Literally happened with me in school all the time. That's also why I refuse to do anymore traditional schooling.

I can understand your feelings. I can't help but think of all the people in the past, say 100-forever years ago that suffered from ADHD or OCD who couldn't get anyone to begin to grasp their mind set.

Also lessons at school are not interesting. If we incorporate individual interests they may be more motivated.

You'd be surprised how many school staff don't believe ADHD exists and that the kids are just "little shi1s" even after months of training. Ignorance.

Haha i have lots of stuff in my cabinets from a few years ago. Every now and then, I discover them and throw them away 😃🙈

Nice message - very wise

Fan of gabor mate, you should interview Russel Barkley :-)

I feel like she's describing me here. 😂 Thank you for pointing out ☺️

I’m so glad that I continued to listen to/watch this video, despite being in complete disagreement initially lol 😂 I actually learned a lot about a topic that I genuinely DO know a lot about. I love when someone can make me completely question what I thought I knew

Dialogue/Debate, Russel Barkley & Gabor Mate

Emotional lives of children As a parent, I see the importance of

Building with legos or generic building materials. I loved creating wooden houses out of random sized wooden blocks the key to creativity is variety.

😢

Thank you Brooke, you did it great!

Your first sentence caught my attention. I didn’t/don’t have much money and it’s made things difficult. Lack of resources makes managing my very late diagnosis and the comorbidities that have gone with it very difficult. Thank God I am a veteran and have access to decent healthcare at least.

I work in addictions and oddly I possess ADHD...it sits in my pocket The wallet comment sits true for me.... But it doesn't define me 😮 I sit for hours and listen I go into nature as a photographer after work this is critical for my adhd

No lies here 😂😂

Heck, I think regular society should be okay with being treated a little more childish. Yeah, we may need it more than most, but like, some things that are "childish" are really fun and exciting for everyone, and society just tells people they can't do them for no good reason.

❤ lovely conversation thank you for this!

I can’t remember what I read too

This me in every single way! Like everything my lovely combined type !😂

Why have I never known this… that’s why I felt so bad even though everything is still wonderful lol

Thank you!

Great material, as usual when listening Dr Mate. Great host as well.

Thank you so much for having me! What a treat this was.

Can relate to it soo much
