Hey Carl, non-hyperactive ADD person with a fairly high dose of instant release Dexedrine here, any stimulant is going to be prone to cause/worsen hyperactivity when you start your treatment or up the dose, but after a few days it starts to settle back down. Everyone has a different therapeutic window for stimulants, in my experience every specialist i've worked with started whatever medication they wanted to try very low, and very gradually upped the dosage, with regular check-ins. While i suspect that someone with a bad case of hyperactivity is going to be quite the challenge to manage during this onboarding process, i'd assume that they too will develop a tolerance, where a correct dose of stimulants should at least not worsen the hyperactivity component. As far as method of action, in my case, i don't feel it's a question of having internal stimulation (rwar); i liken my brain to how Hal acts in this classic scene from Malcom in the Middle: ruclips.net/video/AbSehcT19u0/видео.html. I usually don't end up wrenching on my car, but rather some minor annoyance at work can easily send me in a tailspin where i lose half a day coding a solution or machining a part to fix something because that annoyance is literally a shiny at the bottom of a pit that i can't ignore. I should mention that i'm in accounting, so while being able to code and machine can be useful in a pinch, i've lost a couple jobs because i've had issues staying in my lane. Too high a dose of stimulants in my case will worsen this kind of behavior, but at my current level they basically help my critical sense and/or will power assert themselves better, so I can both recognize that i'm about to journey down another rabbit hole and pump the brakes before i commit time and efforts to something not actually worthwhile. Tl;dr stimulants good if you need them, but they require some time to get used to and should be monitored regularly. Thanks for coming to my TED talk everyone!
The reason stimulants have the effect they do on people with the hyperactive form of ADHD (in that it appears to "calm" the person down and make them more focused) is because the pre-frontal cortex part of the brain is underdeveloped in ADHD-hyperactive people. The pre-frontal cortex is what manages focus and task-sequencing, as well as guiding your motor control functions to do whatever it is you need to be doing. Stimulants improve the pre-frontal cortex's functioning so that you can better control your energy and direct your focus, thus causing you to feel calmer and more focused. It really is a counter-intuitive result, but it's the truth. That's why people who don't have ADHD shouldn't take stimulant ADHD meds because their pre-frontal cortex is already functioning at proper levels, and thus the stimulant effect ends up being too much and they become overly wired and amped up.
I like your "health" sections at the end. Lifts my spirits up and makes me feel unique, loved and appreciated. Most importantly, it makes me feel like I'm understood by not just one person, but a crowd of people who are able to come together. Especially so, since it's from a community around a game I don't even own. It makes me realise how many people are out there that *get it*, so to speak.
At 5:11 my browser crashed right as the screen went black from you entering the pipe and I had a moment of confusion thinking you messed up so hard that even just watching a recording of it breaks everything. xD
As someone who is not affected by your health issue of choice, I am confident in saying that you will feel so much better if you simply stop having health issues!
In my psychopharmacology course we learned stimulants basically activate the part of the brain (frontal lobe) that is responsible for planning, consequences, and saying stop and think before I do that. So that part of the brain being more active by the stimulant helps it control the rest of the brain that doesn’t think and just does stupid shit.
Carl: "Let's go get lost in the woods!" My brain: "You're walking in the woods... there's no one around and your phone is dead... when out of the corner of your eye you spot him..."
it's been so weird since I first seen your videos almost 2 years go (Dang! that long?) I've noticed that I have a lot of similar history as you and it's so cool seeing what you do! I first came across your stuff when I was getting into mario maker and when I heard you were a geneticist (my passion) I was super excited to start watching your streams! Seeing you talk about depression and anxiety and ADHD has been super helpful because I have so many friends with the same problems (and various other ones too) so to see you talking about it really meant something to me. Thanks for being so cool!
Going outside *can* help depression *if* it's being triggered by a lack of vitamin d. That's a lot more common than people realize, because so many people don't even know about it and spend all their time indoors, especially in the C19 era.
The term is used frequently in the board game world, usually negatively with people whose turns take forever. I think that's why there's a timer in chess tourneys.
The way I heard the ADD stimulant explained, is that their minds are racing but not their bodies. The stimulant makes the body and mind more in sync, which reduces a lot of the problems.
23:57 Nice thing about key-coin levels is that they don't necessarily need an elaborate dev exit to beat from CP - you just need to make the "last state" be starting with no red coins, since that's how the player starts from CP when uploading. You'll note in this level you pick up on red coin before the CP, so I suspect that's how this level works. Doesn't solve the "clear from start" though, which probably *is* some elaborate dev exit.
In order to be stimulated, we sometimes have to take dopamine detoxes because we're so fried from the overstimulation, its a very neat balance we strike between finding happiness in things and becoming addicted to that happiness.
in highschool i needed to have one head phone in for background music just to give part of my brain something to do so i could focus on class.. it was a problem sometimes, but usually teachers got over it.
@@Gatorade69 i had them too. i had long hair past my ears so in a hoodie with my hair down and dark color wires it was easy to hide as long as i didnt mess with it
Mechanisms of ADHD stimulants aren't all that clear, but another theory is that ADHD folk tend to have a lot of slow brain waves (delta), and because that is a "sleep" type of frequency, concentration is hard, attention is hard etc. Stimulants bring the frequency of that brain activity up to 8-12hz (alpha) which is more of an "alert" state. If you've got some friends in your local psych department, get an EEG before and 2-3hrs after medication and see if there are differences in particular areas, might be cool to see. Love your work, good on you for being so open about mental health - you help a lot of people.
All the time i listen to you talking about ADHD i feel very related to the symtoms and your story as im in my 30s aswell. Im finally going to set an appointment and a lot of strength to do it definitely comes from what you have shared.
I assume CBD was CBD oil in this context. CBT in this context meant cognitive behavioral therapy. Who wants to tell carl the other meaning because it don't want it to be me.
Your trollaries are awesome, mr. CarlSagan42! Your insight into health adds a lot to your content. Thank you for being a positive source for information and for positive inspiration!
6:10 I’m not entirely sure because I’m not a doctor, just someone who takes ADHD medications, but I heard that the “hyperactivity” problems from ADHD are at least partially from a smaller amount of activity than normal in the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that sorta keeps the rest under control and thinks about what you should be doing. I think the stimulants work by activating that region so the brain can get itself more under control
On mental health i work at a call center where they have many different clients. The client i worked for at the company was stressful but it was something I could deal with. When that client left I asked if they could put me with a client that wasn't insurance so that there would be stakes i would be comfortable with. They told me that if I just stuck with it for a month than they would switch me. After three months I talked to my supervisor explaining that working in insurance was extremely stressful and that I felt that I was loosing my mind so they told me to deal with it and every once in a while they tell me that they will look into it soon while telling me there planing on up training me to give me more responsibilities with the insurance client. So now I get to debate if its better to slowly loose my mind or be unemployed in an area where pre covid it was hard to find a job. atleast I know I'm not alone because most jobs don't care about there employees well being but are just interested in the most convenient way to make the most money.
I tend to be super hesitant about teling people how I got my panic attacks largely under control because its not something that will likely work for everyone.
I saw this level being played twice now, and it is really interessting how both are going for every fire flower in the level although it teaches you in the first screen to not do so :D
For the things that are bad to say to someone with depression: often, they have already tried that. and sometimes, the despair is coming from a particular source; "go take a walk" does not remove that source.
For me, taking a walk adds more. You mean I need to get dressed? What's the weather like? What I wear depends on that, but it also depends on how far I'm going to walk, and that depends on where I'm going to walk to. By time I reach this point I'm like, ah forget it, I'm already spent.
Taking stimulants for add can also be because you have different parts of your brain working at different speeds. Taking a stimulant cranks the slower bits up to keep pace with the faster bits and keep them in check. Essentially, it's like a sensory processing disorder. There's so much coming in but an add brain can't prioritize the important stimuli over the extraneous, hence easily distracted and easily hyperfocusing on stimulating input like TV or other flickering images because it stimulates dopamine and serotonin which helps your brain process but at the same time tune out all other stimuli do the intake processes aren't overloaded.
That's actually a better vulgarisation for how stimulants works for people with ADHD and how it helps them focus, instead of being scattered all over the place. Better than the previous one I've heard!
