ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Subtype
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 фев 2018
- This video describes the Predominantly Inattentive Subtype of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is characterized by symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity including impulsivity, fidgeting, irritability, forgetfulness, anxiety, mood swings, limited attention span, trouble focusing, excitability, and boredom. ADHD has three subtypes: Predominantly Inattentive Presentation, Predominantly Hyperactive/Impulsive Presentation, and Combined Presentation. The Predominantly Inattentive Subtype has nine symptom criteria: failing to pay attention, trouble sustaining attention, does not listen when spoken to directly, does not follow through with instructions, trouble organizing tasks, does not like tasks that require sustained mental effort, losing items needed to complete tasks, easily distracted, and forgetful. Several symptoms need to be present before the age of 12 to qualify for the diagnosis. Clear evidence that the symptoms interfere with functioning is required.
Subtypes are mutually exclusive and jointly (collectively) exhaustive. If an individual has a mental health diagnosis that contains subtypes, they would be assigned one and only one subtype. Only one subtype can ever be assigned (mutually exclusive, having one rules out the others) and one subtype must be assigned (jointly exhaustive, the subtypes cover all of the possible presentations). The term “specify whether” indicates a subtype is required. Specifiers may be mutually exclusive, but are not always. The may also be jointly exhaustive, however, they are not in every case. Specifiers usually provide more information about course (e.g. in remission), severity (e.g. mild, moderate, severe, extreme), or descriptive features (e.g. in a controlled environment). The terms “specify if” or “specify” are used to indicate a specifier may be assigned.

I don’t even think about stuff when I zone out I just zone out and stair into nothing
fucking same, always getting chewed off for not listening but i swear to god i always try my best to listen.
I was a straight-A student all the way through high school. I started to struggle in my undergrad, where there was much less structure and time management became crucial. However, I managed and was able to keep a high GPA despite having significant trouble with school work and my social life. It wasn't until grad school that things began to unravel, and I could no longer hide my apparent dysfunction. I handed in school and work assignments late and had trouble even keeping up with emails, meetings, and appointments.
I've always been highly introverted and studious, but I was now perceived as lazy, stupid, and arrogant. I had been told I was a gifted child, but in my mid-20s, I was clearly an 'underachiever' living depressed in a messy apartment without a penny to my name.
I was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child, and it wasn't until talking to a classmate with epilepsy that I learned the two conditions were correlated. I was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive subtype) at 27 years old. As a woman with relatively high academic achievement, people still make it clear to me that they're highly skeptical. But, stimulants and behavioural therapy have helped me finish my master's and make more progress than I thought I could. Basically, what I'm saying is that if you're struggling to keep up, it's better to face it head-on than waste years of your life feeling ashamed and unhappy.
fck who else had to replay this video 5 times to fully take it in
Melissa Chang Yh
Melissa Chang do we hear the words coming out of his mouth??? Lol
Kelsey Greene It’s a breakdown of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD and all of its subtypes in the current edition of DSM. How is that basic? Because it’s objective?
Melissa Chang this happens sometimes when I’m reading. I have to read it like 5 times or read it much more slower to understand.
Zoned out watching this
I'm pretty sure I have the inattentive type but when if I try to get diagnosed my mom won't give evidence that I had it as a kid since I was a "smart" kid and got good grades, but I know I always got frustrated so easily whenever I didn't understand immediately. I remember how frustrated I got trying to learn the multiplication tables and even something as simple as tying my shoe laces stressed me out. Also, I have literal notes from my teachers in elementary saying I was messy, should study more and work faster . I feel like the only reason I've been doing well in school (90-93 average) is mostly luck cause of my teachers accepting all my late work. Right now in quarantine I feel like the symptoms have only been more emphasized cause of online school :/
I'm taking medication right now. Its so weird how I can have conversations with people face to face and not be distracted by people walking around or dogs barking.
The fact that you can’t follow this content, and you are attempting to focus super hard on this, might mean that you have ADHD :)
Sometimes I’m trying so hard to focus on someone speaking I just zone out and look at their nose or something. There’s no way I have ADHD though because my brother has it and if I had it I should have been diagnosed too!
One problem I have always had is this inability to get started on a task if it involves a little bit of thought or is new, even if its something I want to add to my life. For example ive always wanted to play the keyboard, so I went out and brought the whole beginners dvd book etc and filled with excitement I had one lesson and did pretty good and vowed to myself I would keep practising. Since then ive just put off each session longer sometimes not doing it at all, and just going back to staring at tv or my phone, or the same dull things I usually do.This is frustrating for me because im so aware of the time im wasting. Its definately a case of "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink" with my brain. The amphetamines do help a bit though, so im just gonna keep aware of the time and make myself do it. Until this brain plasticity theory comes into effect😆 Thats the only way really
I’m 14, I got diagnosed my Mom has hyperactive. It bodies up with my high emotional iq, selfishness, and depression. It really hurts when you have Inattentive the fear of rejection, everyone thinks you’re lazy. I can’t ask someone for a straw at a restaurant for the fear of being an inconvenience for them. Sorry for ranting even though I doubt anyone will see this.
LOL I love how I can't even concentrate long enough to watch this video
Haha I fit all 9 for inattentive. (I was just recently diagnosed (i'm 20!)( FINALLY) . Looking back I was showing symptoms superrrr early haha. Ive developed a lot of coping mechanisms but Im finally getting some more help. After being dianosed, i did some more reasearch and now i'm sitting here like " this explains my entire life to a t". I was reading a web article and was astonished 😂. I was so confused for so long and doubting myself. Needless to say, thank you for educating more on the subject and getting the message on to different platforms!
Ahaha i'm exactly the same. Just been diagnosed at age 18 fitting into all 9 as well. Looking back it explains so much.
I was diagnosed at 40 years old. I felt that same way. I always thought I was different, every always and still calls me weird but now I embrace it. It was so obvious I had it growing up but it wasn't something talked about. I was just told I was lazy and didn't try hard enough.
Carrie Hazen Diagnosed at 51 here. I’m still working to de-internalize the messages about laziness, etc. But man do I fit this subtype, including presenting in elementary school.
im 26 and i just realized (it just fucking clicked with me) that i fit all of these and people around me have been telling me for YEARS.
Please do more on this! I was diagnosed at age 33 and knowing this, plus learning strategies to cope in life, plus medication completely turned my life around. Ironically I 'm now employed as a project manager and I'm considered the most organized person at the company. I'm still late nearly every single day for work (luckily no-one makes a big deal about this). But on my own time, I still struggle immensely to do normal people things. I have to take days off from work to clean the apartment, for example. I've chosen to have no kids. And I'm also an introvert, so I tend to be spaced out all the time, unless hyper focused on a task. It's like I'm watching a movie all the time, and forget I'm an active participant in my own life.
Without a doubt, I have all of these inattentive symptoms. For science, I am going to highlight my ADHD watching experience.
At the beginning of the video, I was able to focus well, until I soon (predictably) lost focus. This started about one-third through the video, when I distracted myself by dwelling on an information piece. Later on, halfway through the video, I imagined myself talking to a psychiatrist (and not being able to explain my symptoms, ironically). Soon, about two-thirds through the video, I looked something up related to ADHD (but not related to what the speaker was talking about), and then started writing this unrelated comment. Naturally, by now, I have missed the rest of the video. Looking at this, it is clear that I am inattentive, and there is more! Besides those major distractions, there were minor distractions in-between. Near the beginning of the video, I was thinking about the quality of an acronym (PIP), which I applied to the speaker's alternate naming of the condition in the title of the video (Predominantly Inattentive Subtype, PIS). Next to that, there were reoccurring thoughts about how the speaker was speaking too slowly for me, which I was sure other people with ADHD would have trouble with; I also imagined writing this down or saying this to someone. Excluding distractions, there were parts of the video that I simply did not understand, especially near the beginning. With this, I notice a pattern: I did not comprehend or try to comprehend what I did not care about (I only realize this now).
If I were to take a quiz on this video, I have already forgotten all relevant information. The only thing I remember is how I reacted to the video; agreeing to having the symptoms (which I cannot name), and getting distracted by side-thoughts many times. Looking back at my experience, it is shocking how many times I lost focus and got distracted in such a short amount of time. The craziest thing, is that it felt normal -- this is common for me.
I swear to God I had exactly the same experience while watching and I recognize it how very fast by the third of this vedio I get so coutup on my thoughts that I hear it and hyper focus on it main while cant even hear or see anything but my thoughts for a while then I'm back again 🤔
Same here
Oh like three seconds in I just scrolled down to this comment. I usually put videos on 1.25 speed, see if that helps?
This video needed images so that it could have been easier to follow and remember things.
Very informative but it would help to have words and pictures so that it could be easy to follow along, especially if a majority of your viewers have this specific diagnosis.
This feels like the stuff that they used to write on my report cards in elementary school :/
I was diagnosed as an adult....after many misdiagnoses. At first I was given adderall and I found it problematic, too strong imo.
The medication was changed to dexedrine 10 mg time released and my life bloomed! It was as if a door opened to being able to manage and function in my life. I could hardly believe it.
dexedrine, I'll have my son mention that to his therapist. For now he doesn't want to try meds yet. He's 19 in college.
I had exactly the same experience as you, although my meds are a higher mg. I take Vyvanse 30mg, which is Dexedrine mixed with amino acids to slow release the same way food is digested.
I went from being a mess during my operational tasks at work to being WAY more productive in every aspect. Same with home life. Chores? No big deal. I make lists and cross them off as I get to the end, always with a type of ‘reward’ for myself as incentive.
I was diagnosed as an adult as well. Like you, so many misdiagnosis’s. I was started on a non-narcotic medication called Straterra. It helped a tad, but I couldn’t tolerate it. Then I received Ritalin. This medication worked better than the Straterra, but it didn’t last long enough. I was then put on Adderall. This was the God send medication for me. My life in many ways improved. I wish I would of had this medication in my youth. I feel my life would be in a different place then it is......
I don't understand why there's so much emphasis on having just one subtype (or that these subtypes are mutually exclusive) when in the first place, the third subtype is both of the first two.
I have observed ADHD in several generations within families. It is interesting to see the differences in subtypes as well as severity.
I love how they say you can have only one subtype but then they have a "Combined" category which is having both subtypes. I have watched a ton of videos. I believe as do experts such as Dr. Russell Barkley that Inattentive Subtype isn't ADHD at all but its own disorder. He calls it CDD Concentration Deficit Disorder or what historically was called (Sluggish Cognitive Tempo). He hates the historical name because it is degrading and not accurate. Inattentive subtype do not respond well or are help that much by traditional ADHD drugs. This makes sense since it is a different part of the brain that is having issues and thus is evidence that it is not ADHD. Now you can have both conditions ADHD and CDD. Hence the "Combined" category. Both have problems with attention.
The way I look at it is ADHD people get distracted by external stimuli thus having a problem with attention. With CDD the distraction is internal being distracted by your own thoughts and daydreams to the point you ignore the external world and external stimuli. It has been described as "Pathological Daydreaming". When distracted by your own thoughts you miss what people are saying to you. You miss important instructions either spoken or written. People with CDD don't have any problem with emotional control or being hyper physically. It is like taking a word association test 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Any word spoken to you or word you read can trigger thoughts and memories associated with them. There appear to be no effective drugs for CDD and sadly very very little research has been done. CDD people are quiet, easy to get along with, somewhat shy withdrawn daydreamers. They don't cause society problems so they been overlooked and ignored for decades while the squeaky wheel ADHD people get the grease and attention. CDD is just as devastating in school, work and love life as ADHD. In fact it is worse though in every other aspect it is better than ADHD.
I have CDD. Here is a good experiment to see if you have it too. Next time you are taking a shower or bath say the word or sound ohm over and over again like a mantra out loud. Doing this prevents the person from daydreaming or getting lost in one's thoughts. For me I all of a sudden find myself moving a lot faster and a shower that normally takes 30 minutes only takes 10.
What drugs could work on someone with this type of condition?
Thank you, it felt like you were talking directly to me.
You're welcome!
Maybe that's why I had trouble listening. Heh.
Shit...this explains allot. I always had these symptoms but never thought I had ADHD because I always saw people with ADHD as being kind of impulsive, hyper or always needing to figet with something which doesn't really fit my profile. But I frequently deal with the other things being described here. I am now an adult so its maybe improved a little compared to childhood but its still affecting my life more than I would like.
I missed half of what he was saying because I started to think about teeth and dental implants.
I think this guys GAVE me ADHD
Thank you for clarifying the difference in the sub types and specifiers for this disorder.
Thanks for the detailed and straightforward explanation!
I enjoyed this video, and learning about subtypes and the categories of ADHD.
Thank you for clarification of the disorder!:)
I think that the criteria for their being evidence of childhood symptoms needs to be modified or expanded. Not all of us had access to mental health care as children. Furthermore, some of us who grew up in households with corporeal punishment would have our childhood behavior heavily modified so that the disruptive symptoms were dampened enough to not be noticed by teachers. I grew up in a household with 8 siblings and always had really high grades. My mom has schizophrenia (or some disorder, her initial diagnosis was in the 60's or 70's and after emergency treatment she fled her hometown and never received txt again, so I'm not sure if her diagnosis would be different under today's guidelines) Anyways, the point is that she didn't interact with school officials, never answered calls from teachers etc. We never went to school 5 days in a row (she would often take us out to go to the beach or something). I have a spotty memory of specific events from my childhood and most events that occurred were warped by my mom's interpretation of what happened (i.e. if I did get in trouble, she would say that the teachers were attacking me spiritually for being a Christian, or that they were envious of how smart and talented we as children were). On top of that, I'm multiracial and we were very, very poor. My neighborhood was al people of a low socioeconomic status but the elementary, middle and high school I attended were all magnet school and the students and teachers were mostly white and upper middle class. All of these factors make it difficult to assess whether or not ADHD symptoms were present for me as a child. I am diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive type) and received this diagnosis at age 25. I think that the childhood question biases the tests against certain types of people (i.e. from underrepresented backgrounds). The doctor during my initial assessment advised against me returning for the follow-up 4-hr long, $300 full assessment based on the fact that I couldn't really remember any obvious event from my childhood that would indicate ADHD. Luckily, I did not listen to him and it turns out his advice was really based upon biased assumptions (not his fault, it is the current literature).
I have 8 out of 9 criteria that you @Dr.ToddGrande handed out. I´m 57 years old and all those 8 had haunted me for about 45 years. Before 9 years, I was inattentive and hyperactive.
Great video! Good information on the criteria for this subtype
I know I’m ADHD-PI because I watched 10 seconds, skipped to halfway and watched 10 more seconds, read 3 comments, then closed the video
I HATED school with a giant purple passion! And mostly skipped it as much and as often as I could. What a horrible waste of the best 12 years of my life! Honestly, if I could do it over again, I wouldn’t set a toe of a single day in a school. I had no short term memory. I carried my books home with great intentions, I tried to keep organized and I failed over and over again miserable! I felt so caged and tired when there. I didn’t want to bother with people. There is yet no system out there that would have worked for me, except for one. I homeschooled my kids because of it and I have to say, that was the only real great thing I got back out of the whole experience, to give my kids a better way to discover the world.
Here I am going on my second month 'working' at home. Paperwork all scattered, reports not typed, trouble following ongoing instructions via e- mail.
First off, thank you for the clarification of what "mutually exclusive and jointly exhaustive" means. I find it very interesting that the criteria for diagnosis is different for different age ranges.
T
The way it affects me is not that I am not listening but I don’t take in or process things properly. Like this video I had to scroll back a few times at one point. I heard it what you said but it just didn’t process.
4:35 I spoke with my doctor about this and she said that since I am a college student and many kids don’t make it to college, I therefore have no problem with my ability to function. Instead she told me I need to ‘try harder’ in paying attention to and comprehending lecturers???
I'm having this problem as well. I've been struggling with everybody not believing me and accusing me of being lazy and trying to make up excuses. So many times I've been criticized like this that it had sunk me deeper and deeper into depression and self doubt.
I am so happy that you covered this. This is the type i have. My son has the hyper subtype. Having adhd as a parent with a child with adhd is incredibly challenging, but it can be quite fun in, let's see interesting. Thanks Dr. Todd
I'm 33 and just recently diagnosed, I'm on Concerta although I don't see a lot of difference. I fit 8 of those 9 requirements. I always thought I was sort of stupid and lazy lol turns out I'm just inattentive.
I've heard from watching lectures by doctor Barkley, who said non stimulants like straterra or intunive work better for inattentive types or a combo of a stimulant and non stimulant.
How are you doing now? My son is 19 and just got diagnosed. He is 7 of 9 criteria. Has always been this way, we just thought he got too worked up and stressed all the time. It all became exacerbated and unmanageable while in college with a lack of sleep from snoring roommates. He just got approved for a single room and will need to follow up with the academic advocacy dept to help keep organized. Hope you are well.
Thank you for the video it helps alot. I was diagnosed around 11. My impact was mild throughtout highschool, i was passing but not at my potential, and frankly i hated school so i never saught help and never got help from my IEP. Now im in 2nd year uni (19 now)and had realised how difficult it actually is for me to keep attention in courses that i enjoy. I started getting help again and this video helped make clear what i was diagnosed with.
For a moment there i thought you were wearing a black kimono and you looked great .the long mustache added realism to the output too
Thank you for the video. To finally find out i have all but one symptom doesnt surprise me. Lived my whole life knowing i had a severe case of it, now 37.
I happened to see your video today and enjoyed watching it. I was diagnosed 4 years ago at age 55 with Inattentive ADHD. I use subtitles when I watch videos, movies, and tv to help me focus on what I’m watching and to help my mind not wander away. I didn’t need to use subtitles with your video. Your decision to keep the video short and to use a solid black background helped to keep my attention. I wasn’t distracted. Thank you! (Consider making a tutorial video for others on “how to make a video to keep the attention of ADHDers” 🙂)
I'm reading the comments, watching the TV and watching this video fml
I check all the boxes. This didn’t keep me from earning four college degrees but the last two were really a challenge. I got diagnosed at age 72.
Read the symptoms for inattentive and it is pretty much me.
I'm 32..
Just yesterday my boss told me (in a surprisingly nice way) I'm a dreamer. I am often late or don't get instructions right away. The thing is I'm now 27 and this is a stock clerk job at a store. I was called a dreamer my whole life and I don't even hate being a dreamer because I love to dream but it's exhausting constantly being told that you're bad at a job even if it's the most basic easy job there is. When I was a trainee at a law firm a coworker once told me "You're a nice and sweet girl but in terms of work completely useless". My boss at that law firm said to me that I only do good at things that I'm interested in, but everything else I dont do well or at all, and that they want someone who is more precise. Even though I found ways for me to remember things better it still wasn't enough. So one of the reasons why I now work as a stock clerk is because I feel like I can't do any job but also because I actually want to be a comic artist and make my own comic but I still need the money now so that doesn't help rn 😭
I had all those problems since childhood and my teachers complained alot about them especially in primary school and now that am in college I still suffer from them
Question for you, Doc: from your clinical experience, what are the long-range implications if a child is officially diagnosed with some form of ADHD? For instance, stigma the child might face in future education and employment opportunities, etc. Also, what is your take on the potential long-term side-effects of popular medications currently used to treat ADHD in children; say, for instance, a child who is currently a pre-teen and may have to take this medication for the foreseeable future?
Just a tip, add photos overlaying to serve as "BRoll" for your videos. Makes it easier to watch than just staring at your face :)
I have inattentive type ADHD and I just realized I wasn't able to pay attention to anything you said. I was scrolling through comments. Didn't even realize it till the end of the video lol
I could never read when I was younger- I would just sound the words out, but would never know what the story of the book was. When I was 9, we used to have reading time, and whenever I read a book and my friend asked me about it, I would make up what it was about because I never absorbed any of the information. I never listened in class, especially English class where the teacher would read out the entire fiction book, so I had no idea what it was even about. When teachers were writing notes down for us to copy, I never knew what it said because I would just be zoned out. Even now, I struggle to read books, and I struggle to listen to audiobooks. The only way I can really keep concentration is when I listen to audiobooks and read the books at the same time, and even then its a little bit hard.
Oh and I never listen when people are talking at the dinner table, or when people are having a conversation, but that's changing since I started noticing it.
Do I have ADD, or do I just have low concentration levels? I don't experience hyperfocus, or many other symptoms.
Thank you Doctor Grande. I believe that there are learning disabilities including Non-verbal disabilities that show similar symptoms of inattentive behavior . Non-verbal disabilities weakness are within the executive functioning. Sometimes children's behavior is due to immaturity especially when their behavior is compared to children in same grade who may be a year older as a result of their birthday, example Oct Nov or Dec. There is a great deal of research on this issue. In addition inattentive behavior may be due to situational , ,environmental and medical factors such as Hypo- Thyroid . Could you explore the above. It will help parents and professionals to obtain a better understand and avoid misdiagnosis.

Excellent video. Thank you. I'm in my 50s and I suspect that undiagnosed adhd may be the root of various problems throughout my life. I'm in the process of arranging an exhaustive evaluation by a psychologist. I've been told by my pcp that it's both fascinating and very revealing. I am eager to be evaluated and learn the results.
You provided a lot of great detail! This subtype is very clear to me.
youd think that theyd pick someone that wasnt so monotonous to speak on a subject about people with difficulty paying attention
I seem to meet all 9 or like 8,5 of these creteria, as well as more than 6 months and it interferring with functioning. I was already going to talk to a doctor about it. But I was wondering, as I'm well into adulthood now, I can't remember precisely how these symptoms where before the age of 12. How can you determine this? As a child I breezed through a lot of schoolwork because I found it easy, so I didn't have to focus for long periods of time while in class. Are there other symptoms that are displayed in younger kids?
Well I payed good attention for about a minute despite having no clue what the words coming out of you mouth were trying to portray to me. I then started thinking about what would happen if I was actually suffering from ADHD. I then tried to think if I was displaying signs as a kid. I then lost my train of thought from deciding to goto the comments. Finally I looked up and realized the video ended and I was just looking at comments.
I'm only now starting to consider the possibility I may have this. Even just trying to watch this video I had to rewind about 10 times because I stopped listening so much. I feel I'm constantly thinking and distracted and always zoning out. Not sure now.
Do I have ADHD? Self Diagnosis: Lets start with how I found this video: Ive been back and forth with switching careers (Still havent settled on one Im happy with in the past 10 years). I finally settled on my third brainstorming choice this week. I was watching an educational video on the career I chose (digital marketing) and couldn't focus so I googled ADHD and found this video which I had to watch at 1.25X speed and learned... not much lol
I have this (diagnosed as a kid). Most people with "ADHD" aren't hyperactive.
Hi Dr. Todd, My daughter is age 6 and presenting all 9 of the symptoms of innattentive ADHD you discussed in this video. We are in the process of diagnosis / evaluations at school and with psych. Do you have any knowledge on qualifying the difference between 'sustained mental effort' vs activities that can be engaged in for long periods of time? My daughter can get into being read to, legos, playdough and playing with trinkets or watching kids shows / videos for hours on end. However, she cannot do self care tasks, reading on her own, writing, filling in age appropriate forms (like school work-sheets or "homework"). I was dissapointed to hear the therapist say to me at our first meeting while she was just going over family information that my daughter was sitting and playing with play-dough during the 45 minutes, then the therapist said to me, see, she paid attention to the playdough the whole time! It was quite frustrating that she needed to point that out, after two visits of me sharing years of strong examples of all the above mentioned symptoms.
I think some therapists dont understand that we can hyperfocus on things we feel are interesting. Me, my mother and numourous other family members get extremely obsessed over random things and hobbies and can't snap out and do important things
I would seek a new therapist
Many people with ADHD experience "hyperfocus", where some activities can hold their attention massively even though trying to pay attention to something else is extremely difficult.
I'd also look for ASD to be evaluated for because it can have a lot of overlap. Many people with ASD have similar hyperfocus and inattention patterns.
*sets video to 1.5x speed
I’m the type of adhd that people always tell me I don’t have adhd
Thank You! But what does it mean if they do have it? I really don't like the idea of medication. Can you help me find resources on how we can help him?
Your best way to help him, please believe me, is to read about the medication and what it addresses.
This is what I am diagnosed with. I didn’t get that diagnoses until I turned 42
Thank you for this video, I have this and my life is so difficult, cannot function normally without madication.
Me: Hmm, I was diagnosed with this as a kid but my parents said I grew out of it. I wonder if I still have any of these specifiers.
*has to repeat the video 3 times because I spaced out before it was over*
Me: OH
Wow! I was diagnosed with adhd with the combination type and still experience today. Wooooow all the defining characteristics are definitely me lol. 😂
So saying they're mutually exclusive and then following up with saying you can have a combined presentation.. seems like illogic that applies to any conditional statement? If you have 1 and 2, you can have either one, two, both or neither. Perhaps you meant that you cannot switch between the types for one individual which also seems to be true for most conditions
I am worried I have this.
Just got into your channel, and was like, who is this guy? Like he's some Dr. Amen who knows ADD isn't just about being hyperactive and a kid? I'm not about to diagnose you, but you get us. Or the literature is getting better. I never use it as an excuse, and I was always quiet. It wasn't until my GPA was shot that I was diagnosed. I came from an educated family, naturally smart - never quite living up to my potential, always distracted. It was always in my report cards, but nobody thought the quiet space cadet might need ritalin or something.
Here's my brain: I listen with my ears, why do I have to use my eyes? I've got other things going on in my head right now, but I'm putting it in my brain and can repeat back what you said while I watch the bird out the window. I hate eye contact, though that could be something else. Time? I got it, it will just take me twenty minutes to get there. Forty minutes later stuck in traffic. Oops. I'll make up for it. Nope, other people care about time, even if I do an hour's work for the five minutes I was late. I don't get the problem, unless I were relieving another worker and screwing them over getting off their shift.
Any case, you covered the basics, whereas, I'd be talking about the Roman empire or Thai orthography or drumming or waterfalls in Africa at this point. I'm curious about Aspergers. I'm definitely not, but I think the difference is I see it and don't care, while they don't see it - and I'm jealous. I have the same social problems, but I see it - all at once - hear it all, all at once - everywhere and I shut down overwhelmed. Hunter, not a gatherer. And I need my alone time to collect myself.
What is sluggish cognitive tempo and is it possible that inattentive type adhd is a completely separate disorder than hyperactive adhd? Are either of these notions being explored in current research?
I suppose the fact that there no longer is a diagnosis called "ADD (simply Attention Deficit Disorder)" implies that inattentive type has definitely been determined through contemporary research to be sufficiently related to ADHD to merit being called its subtype.
@@pasteleater1527 Sounds fair to me.
Wait a minute, you say a person has to fall into only one subtype, but there is also a combined subtype of inattentive and hyperactive. That is contradictory. Please explain.
I don’t think the age 12 thing is right bc most women find out later
So a medication treatment protocol would still be the same? Normally this would be treated with stimulants?
Same treatment because it's the same root cause.
Isn't the existence of a COMBINED type mean by default that one can have both an Inattentive and Hyperactibe subtype?
Hi Dr. Grande if you read this. I usually follow your descriptions really well, and you give first the technical criteria, but then you also follow with layman’s understandable terms and examples. But here I’m absolutely lost I must admit. It was rather like insiders jargon. I’m sorry but I really wanted to get a clear view of this one as I’m a attention deficit person of the highest order, which has rules my life since childhood. But no hyperactivity. In fact, a real observable and undeniable tendency to fall asleep a lot. Been through all the brain tests nothing is wrong in that respect. It seems part and parcel of add. I wish you would do one more understandable as I wanted to hear it from you. Anyways, here’s hoping. Thanking you.
. I seem to have all 9 symptoms and quite badly as well. I am 16 and i have never recieved anything close to a diagnosis so i really dont know what to do.
I think most people get diagnosed with inattentive type as adults because it is easily overlooked.
we adults with this have survived this far and so can you. keep studying this disorder and approach your doctor with it. you may have to go through five psychologists or psychiatrists before you get your diagnosis. It can take time.
My teachers thought I had ADHD because I didn’t focus on schoolwork but would be super hyper focused on drawing. But it turned out I was actually on the spectrum (I have high functioning autism)
Back in the stone age when I was in grammar school teachers said I didn't follow directions and didn't listen. Was never dx AD hD. I was later,as adult dx moderate intellectual disability, which fits. I have trouble sustaining attention too. I guess the other disorder would be development disability of intellectual disability. But who knows.
Its hugely under diagnosed in women
Have you heard of sluggish cognitive tempo? Is it a real thing?
I know slow processing speed is a real thing Im not sure if thats what youre talking about
Eva cope I always I won't to know as well
I have AD only not HD
I know I’m not crazy I hear water In the bck ground
So what are the 9 requirements?...musthave missed something.
My son has inattentive plus mild intellectual disability, he can be impulsive and he loses things. Hes about to be 9.
Was he born by C section?
Learn what you can and be on his side. ADHD isa mixed blessing in some ways. It's not all negative.
I had to examine your facial features so I can keep focusing on the video
Ok who else had to reatch this atleast once??
I have ADHD since im born and just learn i got a ASD too.
Static black background....about to fall into meditative trance. Please add music and “jazzier” background. Good video though...I think?!
I keep blanking out
YES 👏 people are always saying “my mind is always running!” But my mind is almost always blank.
@Hubble Tea Do you lack words for your thoughts, and just have feelings and pictures mostly(which I do) or is it as you say like really blank?
Aaa I had to play back the video so many times. It's honestly so annoying.
Again, the role of environment and nutrition should be considered.
It has been. Research scientists and practitioners are the most thorough folk in the known universe.
What about men with "ADD Predominantly Inattentive Subtype"? Is this diagnosis exclusive to women??? I am in therapy and have recently started taking medication . . . .
ADHD, including inattentive subtype, is observed in both men and women.
Everyone become Adhd watching thus video
This is definitely NOT a video designed for ADHD people to watch...😅 there’s no way we can pay attention this long, and at the speed he is talking...no images, graphics...nothing there to grab our attention... I lost my concentration in the 1st minute ! It’s only 6 min long, but for me it’s Iike it lasts 30 min!
#Inattentive awareness #diagnosis #Doctor
This is what I have. I’ve had it described as Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD.
I think the official name has changed somewhat recently, this used to be called ADD
