I also got diagnosed at 23 and Medical School. It has fully changed my life. I can now identify my bad behaviours and call myself out which has been the biggest help for me. Additionally, I can finally watch a lecture and study. I wasn't diagnosed for so long due to living in the country and excelling academically. It wasn't until the physical manifestations started interrupting my life that decided to get tested. Turns out it was my ADHD that was giving me major bladder issues. Now I have my diagnoses I can somewhat function in a neurotypical world.
That literal dr saying that he doesnt think that you have adhd when you did, and telling you that because you're in med school that there's no way....is exactly why its important for you to share your story. Its so helpful for those of us that have it but who mask very well. Could you please link the book you read about high achieving kids who have adhd?? I didnt see it listed in your links in the description.
Faye had added a screenshot of it at the start of the video when she first mentioned the book 😊
It’s adhd for god sake, not a fucking stroke. Stop pretending and making this into a bigger deal than it is.
My psychiatrist said “ADHD is often undiagnosed for very intelligent people’s because they learned how to cope with it”.
Ironically my psychologist told me that I can’t have ADHD because he had people with ADHD as patients but I’m not like them… I was the first person who had the suspicion that I could have ADHD when I was 19 although I dropped out of German Highschool when I turned 18 and went to 8 different schools… my Parents always thought that I was just gifted (had an IQ of 133 when I was 7) and that those are just troubles associated with it.
I had the exact same situation, my GP told me I wouldn’t be in medical school if I had ADHD. Also thank you so much for sharing pricing and the specific details of your diagnosis, it’s so helpful!
What's crazy making is that you can go to the same doctor and tell them you're struggling in your semester and need to drop out and they will tell you "you need to get better sleep and if you really wanted it you would go get it"
I suspect I have ADHD too but it’s so disheartening when those close to me reject this possibility because of “how far I’ve come” and how well I’ve performed academically
Thanks for breaking down the costs involved!
I'm at my first year Uni and I'm failing (I used to be considered a smqrt child always ranking first even thought I never pay intention at class ) I suspect having ADD but my parents doesn't beleive in mental health issues so I guess I'll just save some money and get diagnosis secretly .... cuz if my issue is ADD I've to figure out how to deal with it ... otherwise I feel like my entire life is fading away 😅
@@user-uy8dv4zk4m I know how you feel and I can empathise, it's not easy! One thing that helped me is having a routine (keep it minimal and not overly ambitious) and sticking to it. A bare minimum routine that, if I stick to it everyday, I still get things done and dont fail/fall off. Keeping it simple and not too ambitious also made it easier to stick to. I hope that helps! there's loads of good advice on reddit btw
I’m a medical student in Chile and in our first semester we were encouraged to speak with our doctor about ADHD if we thought we could have it because it would really help us if we were diagnosed!! Love the video❤
Wow that's amazing! ❤ maybe I would have finished college if that would have been suggested, instead of "if you only tried harder" 😅
Love you Faye. You inspired me to seek help and I now have my autism assessment next week! Fingers crossed I will get an answer. Watching you follow your dreams has allowed me to follow mine! You’ve changed my life in a lot of ways.
Hi Faye! Thank you so much for your content, although I’m only in year 11 you’ve really inspired me to think that I can do medicine. You show your journey a lot more realistically than other creators which allows me to weigh up the pros/cons of applying to med school, it’s been really helpful. Thanks again 💜
Thank you for this Faye! Truly eye-opening and I was able to learn so much from you! You are such a fantastic person.
⚡ I got diagnosed at 45... earlier would have been better but very thankful for ADHD medicine and a DR who listened. Thank you so much for this video! ❤️
10/10 video as always 👏🏼
Thank you for this video Faye ❤️
I am pretty sure I have adhd as well and i have been wanting ti go get diagnosed for so long. I am just taking my GCSEs but in Hungary, as I am Hungarian, I am planning to become a doctor, and you have helped so much on my journey mentally, making me feel seen and not alone, I wish all the best for you⚡️
amazing editing!
You have truly helped me in so many ways. Most importantly inspired me to not give up, to not label myself as stupid and realize it truly is possible no matter how tough studies or whatever it is can be. Love to see your journey ! Sending support !🩷 Thank you for still taking time to film these videos, edit them, upload,.. even during your busy schedule. We appreacite you☺️🫂
Also an F1 who got diagnosed with ADHD in final year of medical school... Not yet on medication as I went through right to choose so still on the waiting list for that but 100% think there's way more medical students and doctors with neurodivergence, whether that's ADHD, autism or something else than people would think. And one of the best doctors I know has both autism & ADHD!
It would make sense a lot of ADHD people would want to study medicine it's a highly stimulating/high adrenaline/infinite learning / helping people/researching field. Sounds like a dream job for hyperactive Adhd'ers ❤ 🤓 Wish I could go study medicine 😊
@@magalimasson9472 definitely agree! My brother is a vet & one of his supervisors told him it's the same for vets as he's currently going through the process of getting diagnosed with ADHD & autism.
@@magalimasson9472 But in my eyes it depends on the medical specialty. For me I can say that I don’t want to become a surgeon as my main symptoms of ADHD are hyperactivity and impulsiveness as I can’t stand still for a long time. Also something like radiologist and dermatologist wouldn’t be something for me because those are just boring.
From my current standpoint I want to become an anaesthetic/paramedic because I want that adrenaline. I tend to drive too much aggressive but as a paramedic it’s good. Also as an anaesthetic I don’t have to be sterile while also being allowed to move myself around.
⚡️ thanks for this!!
⚡️ - This is my favourite emoji I’d completely forgotten about, typical lol. I sat through this & related to it all, cried in parts. Thank you!
⚡️Great video Faye 👏👏
I’ve always loved your content but recently you have stepped up to another level!!
Loving the pink vibes, cardigan, make up, hair tie 💕 - where is the cardigan from?
I'm currently in therapy to finally get a diagnosis. I feel everything you say. Especially that your brain or your thoughts never stop. I also ask my boyfriend what he thinks about and I can't imagine how good it must feel to just think about nothing and enjoy this time. Hope I will learn more strategies and good coping skills that I can continue my law degree in Germany and become a great lawyer. You inspire me - thank you ❤
I’m in law school dealing with ADHD. It’s been a struggle. I’m trying to get through it. Thanks for your videos ❤
THANK you!! U r talking about me 💯 I’m so shocked rn that’s it’s not only me, it’s not that I’m stupid or lazy, I worked so hard to get into medical school and I was doing great for the first 2 years then Covid happened and since then my life has been miserable and failure.. everyone is asking me what happened and why u are like that u were an exceptional student and I have no answers💔 I failed my exams for 3 straight years and I gained 20 kg in this period, I became introvert and unrecognizable.
I wish I could be better I want my life back but don’t know what exactly to do
⚡ thank you for this, was helpful, I got diagnosed at 32 years , its been about 8 months, through private doctor, and is so expensive 😩, but I'm glad I done, is the best thing I have ever done, I'm glad I advocated for myself and insisted when no one believed me.
I relate to the part around 23:00 so much. Got diagnosed with Autism just shy of my 18th birthday last year and my executive dysfunction is the reason I’m having to reapply to med school this year.
⚡️A lot of the shy inattentive signs resonate with me. The whole process seems so costly and intense though so it might be a while until I try for a diagnosis. But thanks for the video so helpful and insightful xx 🇵🇸♥️🍉🍉🍉♥️🇵🇸
I do have the same experience like you. Before I had taken med,I didn’t know how having ADHD is feeling like.
The moment I realised I had autism in my first year of counselling studies and then got referred to be assessed. I’m still waiting, but the ah-ha moment when I related to almost all the symptoms was so reassuring. I attend a group for autistic women and the way I can relate to them is amazing. I find it upsetting that neurodivergent people are more likely to experience complex mental health problems.
Faye I’m really lost for words . I’m a Dr too and my academic success masks the symptoms of ADHD . I relate to more of what you said than I would like . My husband also tells me he’s thinking about “nothing” I can’t fathom the idea of thinking about nothing? How? . Just while watching this video I almost left to go read my book . Yesterday during reading my Quran I almost left to do something else . I avoid making phone calls and many other things. I don’t want to accept it but I think I may need to go see someone. Thank you for this .
I'm 23 and got diagnosedw hyperactive adhd 2 months ago, we went private in spain (it's a bit cheaper here). i really struggle with emotional regulation but have alright coping mechanisms so for me therapy without medication is the current strategy, and it's working quite well. I've definitely noticed that it's held me back socially, especially in traditional female friendships where my gobbiness and impulsivity can be jarring. it's not rare for me to be the only girl in a group of 10. i worked it out because 2 of my best friends had it and believed i had adhd too. the first time i mentioned it to my then therapist 2 years ago he dismissed me, so it's so good that i finally have an answer.
Also side note: this pink cardigan is so cute and so you!!
Where is the pink cardigan from? Suits you so well!!
Omg!!! It is SO common for GPs to dismiss medical students just because they have some more knowledge than the general public, it is an absolute joke. They think everytime we come that it's med school syndrome. We know what med school syndrome is and the difference between that and actualy having a problem, the feeling is very different
Faye please make a video on medical school how did you manage to get to medical school having adhd ❤
I have the same ADHD as you but my mind is like freaked out every time 😣😣
Please share with me the best daily routine and schedule for studying in med school, Thanks!
only got diagnosed with adhd after I graduated high school, and my whole life makes more sense. Currently doing premed as I didn't get the required grade (I was 2 point under) for the undergrad route-- difficult to think what I would have got if I had the right help
Hey Faye would you mind pls sharing the book about high achievers with ADHD? I’d really love to read it 🫶🏻
Please utilise right to choose: psychiatry UK, you can access NHS funds but it’s a private service!!!
Ive heard gps no longer accept shared care if your diagnosis was private, I could pay the upfront fee for assessment but it would be ongoing cost to access medication that would be a barrier to me.
for the medication, you could get it on a private prescription then pop into the pharmacy, hand in the private prescription.ADHD medication shouldnt cost more than £150 pound unless its a brand that the doctor has prescribed
Does adhd make your heart race even if it is the right medication for your adhd?
I got told by a physiatrist I couldn’t have ADHD because I got good grades and made it through college…
could a person with adhd get addicted to medicine?
