I turned the speed up to 1.5x because yes, this guy talks way too slowly for someone with ADHD to follow. Thank goodness for video speed adjustment options!
Thank the gods 🙏 It was a struggle to get through the first minute, I’m like “please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me the bits I need to know!!” 😂

And the cost is how much? Its ridiculously expensive to get a ADHD diagnosis privately which feels unfair when NHS waiting lists are up to 7 years if you can convince your GP that you think you have ADHD.
@dollydaydreamz7149 it is definitely worth it. I will have about 3 appointments ( £200 each) after my assessment to check how I am adjusting to meds, and after, it will only cost £9 a month once care is passed to the GP. My first appointment went really well, and I finally felt seen and that someone understood my chaotic brain. Now I am waiting for an appointment with a psychiatrist, and I will be good to go to start a less chaotic life 💜
Thank you so much for sharing this video with all of us. I really enjoyed your demeanor and obvious groundedness. I am curious to know if there has been any talk, or studies of micro-dosing psilocybin mushrooms. Not looking for a high of any sort. Only a sense of well being, and functionality. Btw, I am an untreated 78yr male, and was diagnosed with ADHD 23yrs ago, but wasn’t qualified for the financial aspect. Although I have no doubt that this was onset at the traumatic birth, for my self and mother.
I find when taking stimulants, both psychedelic and non-psychedelic, they do help lessen the ADHD symptoms. There are many other benefits to microdosing psilocybin also. Having a larger dose now and then can also help with mental health, inner peace and spirituality if that is important to you.
I have taken multiple ADHD tests and quizzes online and all have been positive, I really want to get assessed but I don’t know how to talk to my parents 😭
I’m 42 and was only diagnosed in the last 18 months but the place that diagnosed me didn’t do any Ov this it was more Ov hwre is some tablets I’ll see you in 3 months
great video very informative, thank u for sharing. what are the specific questionnaires and screening tools used for those with suspected ADHD? and do these vary with age of client? thanks again.
Bloody hell. I tried to pay attention but this was like pulling teeth, even sped up I couldn't keep focus. I'm sure whatever he said was informative though lol
If this dude talks any slower I'm going to lose my mind! When I was told about needing to get an ADHD assessment done with a neurologist, I was picturing those white sticky pads with wire coming out of them pressed to my temples.
The comments on this page made me feel like we are some sort of club and wouldnt it be fun to get together.. as long as we dont forget, or like me get lost driving there.
The doc speaks way to slow for people with ADHD. Very frustrating, I deal with it daily, hurry up and get to the point, I got there hours(seconds) ago and can see the roadmap branching on to the next things you're going to say! Good thing we can speed the video up. Thanks for the information.
First thing I did: checked comments, changed speed x1.5 then procrastinated on whether or not my comment was good enough. Missed the talk and had to start again😅
Where can I go to get a proper diagnosis and actual analysis done because I feel like I may have it. I just need to be 100% sure because I’m not trying to use it as a fucking excuse.
with someone looking to get an assessment this whole thing sounds drawn out and daunting with some nice anxiety thrown in. I left thinking maybe i am just better with some helium! I mean what am i expecting from the appointment!! you tell me what i can expect ? hate that question, that list is a 100 lines long and i know some of it cant be changed unfortunately. promised my Mrs i would also try CBT or what ever you call it, as we are are the thin line line and i am at breaking point. I also dont believe in talking much, to me its black and white, talking don't change the reality of things.
Thank you for sharing this-it’s so moving to hear that the videos resonate with you. It sounds like you’re already on a meaningful journey, and when the time feels right, reaching out to the right practitioner can be a powerful step. Wishing you all the best as you move forward. 💜
I am sure this man is intelligent, capable and a good therapist. But he needs to know, us ADHDers need something more stimulating to keep us watching....that 7 min. seemed like 3 hours.
Who here did not pay attention to a single second of this video because you started reading the comments instead ?
Oh yeah the video. The video I’m supposed to be watching to learn more about ADHD. That video.
@@AbiJaay You got me there 😭
That is me
Hi :)))
Wait what is this about-
😂
The irony of trying to pay attention to this video as someone with ADHD 😅
I turned the speed up to 1.5x because yes, this guy talks way too slowly for someone with ADHD to follow. Thank goodness for video speed adjustment options!
@@musicianatheart EXACTLY what I did! 1.5x FTW
@@Only1SapphireDiamond I went 1.75 😅
Too slow, got side tracked
Had to go rewind like 10 times because I got distracted and my mind went somewhere else. Took me 14 minutes to watch 😅
Helpful tip: Play at 2x speed
genuinely thank you, didn’t even occur to me lol
He talks sooo slowww 😂
Hahahaaaaa
😂😂😂😂
Thank you!!!!
2:08 for the assessment breakdown
Thank you
Bless ya lol!!!
oommgg youre the best
Thanks
Thank the gods 🙏 It was a struggle to get through the first minute, I’m like “please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me the bits I need to know!!” 😂
Was this the adhd test?
I only paid attention starting minute 2 and then got bored again and started replying to your comment 😂
Haha yeah we all failed 😂
Wow, I've been engaging in CBT for years now and had no idea it was helping with ADHD. Usually just makes my nuts hurt
Good one
I zoned out 8 times watching this
He is boring
Only 8? I think I zoned out over 20 times🫤
Took me twenty minutes to watch had to keep going back every time I zoned out 😅
I think I zoned in 8 times 😆
For real this guy should know we would be zoning out the whole video.
Very slow speaker. Not sure if it’s just me, but he covered a good amount regardless :) thanks for the info
I put the video on x2
Read it helps
Can someone summarize this on bullet points? I zoned out a lot of times and got distracted by the comment section

I think I paid 350-450 or so for the initial appt years ago
7 years! Is that what you have been told from your GP?
I paid £1500 in Oxford for private assessment.
I have mine in a few weeks. £700...😢 then there's the private prescription charge until you're stable on the meds

Ha ha, I’m just shouting GET ON WITH IT!
I just realized midway I was daydreaming about something else and not paying attention at all
Me too. I can't stop thinking about how slow his speaking is
Me too I be like get to the point please 😂😂😂😂
Longest 7 minutes of my life but informative nonetheless

@@c12onnorcan you recommend where to get them and what to get??
@@husshhhussh easiest way is to grow your own mushrooms or truffles, there are loads of guides and videos on youtube :)
bots.
Who else sped up the video twice to keep their attention on it?
I done so well up to 3.45mins🤦🏼♀️
@Amy B
Winners never quit.
☺️
Me too😂
can someone summarize the main ideas? I ve been daydreaming while watching this video.
He’s talks so slowly 👀 I was straight in the comments looking for the way to get to the point
lmaoo not me skipping video to get the main point his talking speed irritated me 😂 I'm done
Me too 😂
Same
I have taken multiple ADHD tests and quizzes online and all have been positive, I really want to get assessed but I don’t know how to talk to my parents 😭
i felt the same way until i hinted at it and my family is like "Cool so, can they fix you?"
Talk to your doctor. They will give you a referral.
Omg I’m in the exact same situation!! We will figure it out some day😭
If you are not a minor, you don't have to! Please know that nutrition, therapy and lifestyle changes can help so do not give up :)
@@nycolewithawhywhat kind of docs bc my main doc gave me referrals and a few said they don’t do it and I’m stuck
A very helpful video for a mum whose child is about to start this process. Thank you
How the hell am I supposed to find out what the assessment is like when the dude is talking so slow? I'm going to try again at 2x speed.
Much better at 2x speed.
Its a very good and informative video but anyone else speeded it up? Drove me mad a little to wait to finish a sentence... (not being disrespectful)
I’m 42 and was only diagnosed in the last 18 months but the place that diagnosed me didn’t do any Ov this it was more Ov hwre is some tablets I’ll see you in 3 months
What's ov?
great video very informative, thank u for sharing. what are the specific questionnaires and screening tools used for those with suspected ADHD? and do these vary with age of client? thanks again.
Bloody hell. I tried to pay attention but this was like pulling teeth, even sped up I couldn't keep focus. I'm sure whatever he said was informative though lol
If this dude talks any slower I'm going to lose my mind!
When I was told about needing to get an ADHD assessment done with a neurologist, I was picturing those white sticky pads with wire coming out of them pressed to my temples.
how accurate are these tests? I think I have ADHDenial but I'm booked for an assesment
how did it go? mine is at 530
the only dissappointment is that we dont have a 4x speed option, geez, dude is a professional but he's affecting me horribly
The comments on this page made me feel like we are some sort of club and wouldnt it be fun to get together.. as long as we dont forget, or like me get lost driving there.
Im here because I'll be taking a test. I would have lost attention if it wasn't for the 2x button
At 5:30 I realised I wasn't paying attention to this video.
The doc speaks way to slow for people with ADHD. Very frustrating, I deal with it daily, hurry up and get to the point, I got there hours(seconds) ago and can see the roadmap branching on to the next things you're going to say! Good thing we can speed the video up. Thanks for the information.
Not me wanting to know and then skipping ahead and learning nothing.
First thing I did: checked comments, changed speed x1.5 then procrastinated on whether or not my comment was good enough. Missed the talk and had to start again😅
Ah, we've all been there! 😅 It's all part of the process! Glad you gave it another go. Thanks for sticking with us!
I'm sure the beginning was helpful and impactful, but the double tap skip is helpful
Loving these comments self diagnosed I always speed up voice messages didn't even know I could on you tube! ❤
Looking at the comments atp bc I’m impatient
Thank u so much sir your video is very information ❤❤ thanks alot.....
Set to 1.5x
Where can I go to get a proper diagnosis and actual analysis done because I feel like I may have it. I just need to be 100% sure because I’m not trying to use it as a fucking excuse.
6:53 Dew Course. Thats outside London, right?
anybody else speed this up to 1.5 to be able to concentrate on it 😭
This video needs a speed of atleast 2.5 or 3 minimum. 😂😂 Reading the comments…. only to find out i’m not the only one. The irony.
AD/HD for those about to forget what’s my name 🤣🤣🤣
Watching this l wanted to feed his flowers here
I disagree with others here because i feel like i can absorb the information better because he's talking slower.
Spoke to slow and my anxiety acted up
with someone looking to get an assessment this whole thing sounds drawn out and daunting with some nice anxiety thrown in. I left thinking maybe i am just better with some helium!

Did he not know where the cameras were?
I think I’ve found my people.
Put some emotion into it man!
He talks so slowly that 1.75 speed sounds normal. This pisses me off so much
Holy sh*t. Is this video a test?
the irony of this video 😂
Omgggggg sooo slowwwww
LOLLLLLL I was thinking that
@Jesse Zabko
If I could live my life with infinite adept facility, I doubt I'd be seeking a professional diagnosis of ADHD.
😉
same 😭i skipped the video and closed the video then came back laughing at myself i better go and get treated 🚶
I just skip through if it's slow/boring.
@@beanieyoobi 🤣😂🤣😂 I’m starting to think it was intentional because I’ve got it on 2X speed and I’ve zoned out several times ☺️🤭
No wonder these charge by the hour. Seen how slow he talks?
What was he talking about again💀
Seriously, I'm looking for a summary or something in the comments 😭
I just can’t stay focused on this guy.
Rewind rewind rewind ...agony to watch 😂
I have this on 1.5x speed and this dude still talks slow
The nerve of this man to talk so slow
😆
Damn, I think I’d rather have a root canal than try to pay attention to this guy 😂😂
My adhd wont even let me watch this seven fucking minute video
I thought that in the first two minutes!
I always tear up when i watch a video of a professional beautifully illustrating my experience.
I hope to be treated by one of them one day soon 🤍

Speed up the video to x2.0. Thank me later.
I switched off 1 minute in
Took me 30 minutes to watch this
1.30 in I can't watch anymore it's to slowwwwww
I'm finding it so difficult to focus on this video, because his voice is so monotonous
What I took away from my first watchthrough
1. Many of the comments did not pay attention
2. He kinda looks like he belongs in Clue is professor Plum
turned it off at 3 minutes 20 got bored talked way too slow for my brain
“Turn to page… 394”
1.5 is better
Is he deliberately talking in a way that someone with ADHD would nor be able to focus?
Is he trolling us??talk faster!!
I wish I had a spare two grand lying around. Oh well.
I skipped to 3:11 because I already got bored
Can’t spend the time required to listen to.😢
Man is so slow at talking
What?
This guy speaks so slowly and doesn't really give any specific information - blah blah blah
Can. You. Talk. Any. S l o w e r ? OMG
I cnt even pay attention to him
Man can this guy talk any slower?
lmao i had to increase playback speed to about 1.75
1.25x speed
He is boring
HES TALKING TOO SLOWWWW
This guy is putting me to sleep. He talks like BORING
He’s so borinnnnggggggg
terrible
I am sure this man is intelligent, capable and a good therapist. But he needs to know, us ADHDers need something more stimulating to keep us watching....that 7 min. seemed like 3 hours.
I stopped listening to this man when I focused on the orchids. 🪷🌸
