Maybe one day adhd and cds are seen enough. It’s a literal disability that must be cured or treated asap Both of them are so hard to live with My brain is so damaged I’m broken
Is there any studies about how often these symptoms are seen in people who are autistic and have adhd vs having just adhd? Or are the studies done on people who purely have adhd, without being neurodivergent any other ways?
Plainly - just describing what this is, I'm realizing I use drugs to put myself into the cluster I want to be in, unconsciously. If I'm zoning out too much I'll smoke weed for a burst of energy, if I want to zone out I'll smoke to help myself zone out.
Missed the Q/A unfortunately. How common are the CDS symptoms among your ADHD patients ? I am currently trying Atomoxetine, which seemed to have worked initially for a couple of days but the effect diminished unfortunately. Have you ever had patients who respond more to doses above 100mg/day or even above 120mg/day of Atomoxetine ?
Lots of adults need at least 100 mg of Strattera to see benefits for ADHD. In general, I tend not to worry about the number of mg, but rather look at the effects on the person's body and brain. If you are tolerating it and getting benefit, then it is a health dose. If you are having problematic side effects, then it doesn't make sense to go higher whether or not you have much benefit.
Why does so many people on the Reddit community are having good effects taking creatine and choline? My girlfriend tried and she says that afterwards her awakeness and attention are comparable to Ritalin (she is in the minority who does respond with a very small dosage) but in a more natural way.
The Reddit community, and most other online communities are self-selected and not representative of the the world at large. They can give some suggestion of the range of responses, but they tend to attract those who have either dramatically good or dramatically bad responses and tell us very little about how common those responses are.
Is this sydrome synonymous with "slow processing speed"? What if you don't have the daydreaming symptom or inner distractions? What do we know about slow processing alone?
We're struggling as it is to differentiate inattentive ADHD from CDS, so yes, we also need much more research to disentangle slow processing speed from the problems with top-down attention regulation.
@@DrJohnKruse Thank you. I had read a book titled "Kids who can't keep up" which supposedly focusses on just slow processind speed, and they also seem to have some unclarity regarding if and how executive skills fit into this. Since my tests showed no dysfuncion in those areas I thought it odd and I'm questioning putting in the time with the treatment modalities offered for it. If you know of any researcher that I should follow for this question of disambiguation, I would love to know. 🙏 Thank you again for your informative videos.
@@shulamay I don't have a specific article or book, but Russel Barkeley has written extensively, and now has a RUclips channel, and he is not only the leading expert on CDS, but he has also written extensively about how seldom our neuropsych testing reveals executive dysfunction in people with ADHD, even when in real life they appear to have trouble in real life with executive functions. I have a video on some of this that came out around Feb 2023 (I'll look for the link.)
is it possible to function in the academic world when you have this? i have lofty goals for myself but i definitely deal with the more daydreamy subtype, not so much the sluggish subtype. i seriously have problems organizing my thoughts in real-time. i have to write everything out beforehand a lot of the time, especially with complex topics, even if i'm well informed. i'm only truly coherent in writing. my iq is in the gifted range and i don't have ADHD, but my CDS symptoms alongside anxiety and mood issues are really frustrating and they make me just want to give up on myself. should i just be on a stimulant or something?
dude are you stalking me or what this is like someone is describing me specifically.

I hope there are ways you can learn to see it as different rather than damaged or broken.

I know that there is an association between CDS and autism, but I don't know what those numbers are.

Thank you so much. I don't think I have these issues, regardless of the tests, but I will look it up.
