Thanks for watching! Don't forget to like our video and leave a comment.
I'm horrible with watching videos cause I always tune it out and read the comments.
Same here dude, same here.😐
i do the same!!!!
same
Same its only 1 minute in
hahaha couldn't have said it better.
Does anyone else with ADHD/ADD scroll through suggested videos the entire time watching videos?
I haven't been diagnosed but I do scroll through comment sections while I watch/listen to videos.
yea
I have ADD. I hate my life.
+MucousYeti831 sending warm hugs, I hate mine too, but we will get though it
Thanks fam
How do I know if I have ADD or I am just a normal person who procrastinates a lot, daydreams a lot, is disorganised, has anxiety problems and has low self-esteem?
I have ADD its hard I can't really pay attention to good I tend to day dream a lot and forget what I'm doing
Ahri Are these symptoms affecting your life in a significant and negative way? If so then, probably. If not ADD then something else, but I was diagnosed and have your exact symptoms. I ignored them until they put me into a suicidal depression.
u don't have adhd or add
weed af and u don't have a md or a phd so u shudn't diagnose (see how I spelled things like u?)
Your doctor would tell you
The way I see it: what we lack in attention, we make up for in talent.
I sure dont
I wish I could say the same about myself😢
Very true
I wasn't sure if i have adhd but seeing the talents i have.. I'm dead sure!
Speak for your self
I'm 99% sure I have ADD, but I haven't been diagnosed. As a child I struggled so much in school and would often daydream whilst a teacher was talking and telling us what to do during the lesson. When I would snap out of it everyone was already working and I wouldn't have a clue what I was supposed to do. I was always getting I trouble with the teacher because of this. I would always try to focus on what a teacher was saying as they spoke, but after a few minutes I was in dream land again and the cycle continued. I was bullied a lot because the students were always seeing me in trouble with the teacher. When l left school I slipped into extreme anxiety and depression, I was in a very low place. I fought my way out of that and am much better. My ADD seems to be non existent these days. I'm engaged, have recently been promoted in my job and trying for a kid. Life is good. This video is interesting though as I do play the violin and paint a lot of pictures which people say I'm good at.
Gemma Whatley I am the exact same way lol. But I just read half your comment.
ADD doesn't exist, clinically speaking, not since the mid 70's since they decided ADD is a redundant term and is just ADHD.
+christian almli Even according to your own comment ADD does exist, only under a different name. The only reason people still claim to have ADD is because it better describes them and is generally more explanatory, straightforward and easy to use than "the inattentive subtype of ADHD" (there's also the stereotypical view of the hyperactive ADHD kid which evidently doesn't apply to people with ADD), nobody here's claiming to be a doctor and the video explained that ADD isn't used anymore, we're not fucking idiots man
U know you can day dream with out ADHD I have it x soo
Same same situation my son hav hes 7 .I cry for him smtimez
You had hyperactivity and immature behaviour as well ????
I have ADHD and am extremely compulsive. I could walk in a circle for 10 minutes without getting bored.
I have add and I do the same. If you put some music on I can do it for 1-2 hours.
I cry easily get in trouble a lot the teachers know I can't help but they never help me I only had one teacher in my entire school life who understand me and helped me. the only talent I truly have is art and I do that to calm me down I draw. I guess I can consider myself intelligent, in my school they have us grouped with smart or dumb kids and the kids in my class are smart.
+Jack Bhogal holy fuck i do the same thing
me too
Wow, that used to be a habit of mine, I even timed myself walking for thirty minutes. It helped me concentrate.
I have ADD and I love music I have a very strong taste in music.
Same here I have ADHD thoe and I know good music like heavy metal and rock now that's real music instead of iggy or something else
Music is one of the only things that can keep me focused.
a have add and i play guitar bass guitar and drums and its the best therapy for me. it makes me forget the chaos in my head.
Joshy Savage Yup, it's (I believe) the best modern music for people with ADD. A lot of people can't get into it because of the vocals, but if you can and you have ADD you will be healthily stimulated by the fast and intense percussion, the layering of melodies that two guitarists in a good band pull off along with INTERESTING bass parts (unlike most modern music where the bass just throbs on the same counts over and over again. In my opinion, Between the Buried and Me was some of the most stimulating metal out there for people like us. If you've never heard of them, start with the alum "Colors".
We need a new musical movement that ditches this obsession with repetition, basic chord progressions and generic vocals. A lot of classical music composers had cognitions similar to ours and they created masterpieces. We've regressed to the bland and the repetitive.
I actually have ADHD and l like rock and roll that's how I came obsessed with nickleback and sports
I have had ADHD all my life (now78). Yes it affected me in school at a young age. Could not concentrate when reading books. They did not give these tests in those days, unless someone was smart enough to ask for one? But I am very healthy, play very competitive golf 9 hdcp I was a 3 hdcp when I was 30- 40. Boat Captain since 1985. Doing quite well now. You just have to live a bit different life. No-one is perfect, but I am way ahead of a lot of people. Anyway, if you are lucky you will live a long and happy life, just go with the flow, exercise and eat healthy.
Great advice I enjoyed hearing your story.
I am not so sure of myself if this is me searching for excuses again :/ I feel terrible and confused
hobo byun Exactly how I feel!
Same
@@shrey9523 I get it, man...I totally get it...
i have severe adhd and i still doubt myself after all these yrs. then i take my meds and my suffering goes away. believe in yourself and how you feel. if youre suffering from these symptoms, high chance is that you have it.
That's how most of us feel buddy. Even though I've had this since childhood and it's ruining my life and my therapist kinda blamed me for these I still believe I'm just lazy untill I realize I don't know where the hell to begin to get organized or how to do it or I forget or move to sth else...etc...
I have ADHD and I just hate it when people think we are just ditzes who can't do anything right!! 😡
I AGREE I have ADHD
We can do whatever we WANT to do PERFECTLY. But they have to make us WANT to first. Lazy people. LOL
Yeah that is true Ik
I agree I have add
I swear evry person with add or adhd has different syptoms mf i was diagnosed with dyslexia aswe but i dont have low self esteam quite the opposite actually and im not ditz either im quite resourceful. But man do i like talking to myself and procrastinating.
Anyone else curious what life without ADD feels like? I wonder how it feels to think on one track, and be able to follow a conversation without drifting off? xD
It sounds boring...
Honestly it would feel like I was a robot.
Have you tried anthrax or riderlin ... lol
Lmao, people get so mad at me when I lose interest in the conversation
@@unchartedthoughts7527 that's kind of the problem though.
I have ADD, and it aggravates me how little information there is about it. I do not have any hyperactivity whatsoever. I just lost my job the other day specifically because I have distraction issues. My supervisor told me "you're just not getting it" and "you're unmotivated" even though I had informed her several times of my disability. Its outrageous...like telling someone who is paralyzed that they don't need a wheelchair and just need to try harder to stand up.
Literally, there’s only videos on adhd I totally agree. I am the complete opposite of hyperactive a goddamn can’t get moving.

This is why I failed life...
I feel your pain

+Ramiro Leiva What Job do you have? I swear us with add/adhd are natural born entrepreneurs and i'm happy that I found out that I have add earlier on in life because now i know what path i should take.
***** Thank you for replying. I am currently a Lyft driver. But I have entrepreneur aspirations. I have a real estate licence and I always have an open mind for business opportunities. What is your occupation?
***** cool, I'm just out of school, now learning how to code :)
I have strong ADD. I've never really understood what this meant. I always just assumed it meant that I has trouble paying attention, which is what my parents told me. Im now 21 and am extremely insecure. I am still insecure about little things people would mention in a joking way about my appearance or intelligence. this led me to be unsuccessful i high school with my grades and with my social abilities. I realize now that someone with ADD is just affected internally by positive feedback as they are with negative feedback. So I try and surround myself with positive and uplifting people. For anyone else out there that has similar stuggles, just know that you are a beautiful creature and have so much to live for. Ignore the hate , because life is too short to let it consume you. I love you all ♥️✌🏼
just a question do u find yourself often not hearing what other people say to you and ask them to say it again.
shit... basically everything they said about add describes me...
+SilveryLPS I know, me too :(
Should i end my life?
I was just kidding tho :P
But having ADD is sad.. It ruins the quality of our lives :/
+DoodieSmoothie If you have ADD its a big
chance you are dyslexic, i have ADD end im dyslexic.
Same
Im not dyslexic but
But I hate spelling ita waste of time and boring and wasting roblox time
So iI don't. Practise
I get some real deep thoughts about what happens after death and I can be gone in my mile for hours changing topics and then I forget it all just to do it again
Same
Same, especially when it comes to religious topics & the paranormal.
Positive words: society is generally unfriendly. That's nice.
I was clinically diagnosed with ADD (now known as Attention Deficit Disorder-Predominately Inattentive). I really tried hard to concentrate or focus in school and elsewhere, but if I have to pay attention to something I find boring the slightest noise or visual distraction would steal my attention.
Thats exactly the same with me i only concentrate of im interest in something but if its something else i will get distracted and not pay attention
@@vnova105this is the same for me as well what makes it even worse if it's a situation were your doing one of those big math test in a classroom there's like 12 or 15 students in the classroom it's quiet now you know you know you gotta focus so you 5 mins in, some small commotion is going on in the hall way but very small where everyone else pencil deep 2-3 pages finish with the test, and you looking like focusing hard but internally you are absolutely focusing what's going on in the hallway buts its in like quick burst tho one moment focusing on the test next 5 moments later what's going on the hall ( this is still internal mental work ) and after all that you where right in the middle of solving the answer for the 2nd question on the first page you gotta take more time to remember what was doing to get the answer and continue onwards then if the hallway example isn't a factor welp good ole faithful mind has a mind of its own and starts to take an cruise on the highway around Jupiter rings but on the outside it's a quick daydream but on the inside it could feel like 10 20 30 mins, day or even a lifetime of daydream of an experience of just cruising around Jupiter's rings at least that's how it is for me, it doesn't have to be astronomy related I just find astronomy an extremely enjoyable subject and that be some of things I be daydreaming about. sometimes my daydreams are mostly about what if scenarios, what if I ask that girl out what it be like for the rest of my life or what if I got stranded out in the ocean how would I survive and get back home or what if my mom was being held bye an stranger what would I do that guy would I attack or do nothing. any1 else have these types of daydreams 💪🏾✌🏾👍🏾🫡😏
I have ADD and the main reason my psychologist wanted to investigate it was because I'm so damn tired all the time. Low energy should be added to the ADD symptoms.
@@iwillloveyoursoulifyourepl5557 it works though, that's the best we got, what do you suggest? Diet meditation and exercise? Guess what I did all that and stuck to it for a year, but no matter how much will power you muster up, you will snap, sounds like you don't have it, you have no idea what this shit ADHD is like
@@iwillloveyoursoulifyourepl5557 been on it for a year, very low 15mg once a day, if you abuse it, it will be more detrimental for your brain but also your body(specially heart), but like I said, best there is, theoretically I wouldn't have to take if society was less one-up, but since that's obviously impossible, I have to use whatever tools necessary so I don't end up homeless 😞
@@iwillloveyoursoulifyourepl5557 yeah, I still don't agree with kids being put on it, they don't have a fully developed brain to be able to decide whether the pros outweigh the cons, and it also fucks up their development, I got diagnosed at 22, I knew I was different not in a good way, but I didn't know what it was, and before I went to the doctor I went on a spree of drugs(except for hardcore ones, like meth opioids/opiates), but none of them helped, then I decided to go to the doctor and got prescribed Adderall, but I was honestly really hesitant because in my mind that was meth, but after a month of research I took it, it helped a lot, and since it's low and I eat with it I don't really get a rush, maybe on the first week I think it was euphoric, but now it helps to get things done and that's what I wanted nothing more nothing less
@@iwillloveyoursoulifyourepl5557 I tried weed, it feels really good, but I would slack off even more, when I quit I was so angry for a week then it went away, I have a friend that has been on it for 7 years, he's basically a vegetable, and I knew him before that
Exactly! Tired all the time and constantly accused of being lazy
please don't use the freaking word ''suffer''
We don't suffer, we have it and that's it
exactly! its a hindrance but nothing more. sure it sucks when you're trying to focus and keep drifting off byt there is really nothing you can do about it but just try your best. the one thing that really annoys me though is when people say "oh just focus more" or "well you're gonna have to learn not to be forgetful".
+Max Phillips If i had and euro everytime i heard those... I would be billionair.
But yeah man, you said, i just have nothing to add to that. There should be an ADD/ADHD pill for ''normal'' poeple so they know how we ''suffer'' and stop saying such bullshit things
+Skedder no normal people can't take ADD/ADHD pills because it is highly addictive
+Mest Up Pokeslam12 to the
A lot of us really do suffer from it tho
I don't know why but I'm crying, after all of the things I have watched to night, but all of the effects listed out (specificity depression, anxiety, and low self esteem issues.) makes me realize that when I feel terrible about myself, it makes sense, and when I talk about it to my friends, they just say I'm being to negative and they get mad at me for "e;killing the mood;"e, am I just being a annoying when I get upset or do I have a right.
Like any adhd person could keep focus during this video. So boring.
thatforemankid lmao ikr
no i think its very interesting coming from a very emotional person like myself, its just a reminder that others do care about my add
thatforemankid I have adhd and I focused on the video
why
"However when they are interested they can keep focused."
Justin Duncan .....
I’m pretty sure I have adhd, my mom studied physiology and she always told my I didn’t have any issues with anger or learning. But I often found books in her library like “how to deal with angry kids” and stuff. I used to go to anger management. And I repeated the first grade because it was like no matter what the teacher said I didn’t understand any of it, this is still quite often today. I remember teachers always telling me to “just focus’ but I couldn’t and I felt so crappy about myself. This makes everything make sense thank you.
I have ADD and I am not organized with paper lol and I stare off into the universe but I do get mad with certain things I do hold grudges but the next day I’m just like LLLALALLALALALLA idk 😂😂😂 and I can pay attention to art music and theater with no medicine lol
Rick never add/adhd people not pay high ADHD 100MILLION WORLD No longer Rick miss fail bad [2020]
Kpc 8080 lol basically I’m the same😂 I have ADD and I could never focus on anything except for the things I really loved which is drawing and dancing. I usually learn dances quicker then normal people because I love doing it and I’m really focused on it as if I didn’t have ADD at all, which is a little weird when I think about it😂 but everything else I can’t focus on like when the teacher at school if talking or if I’m at home doing homework I’m always multitasking then get tired and quit my homework and never end up doing it.
Does medication work?
When I'm studying I can't focus and remember things so I either have to reread sentences because I was reading without paying attention, or because I can't retell anything except for the last word. Sometimes when i try studying something and I can't understand it I just want to cry and I feel so stupid. Even if I try to pay attention in class I still don't really get what teachers study, especially maths. Is this normal?
Yeah you re good for more superior things
Exactly me :(((
You probably have dyslexia
Same here
You know your the 1st person iv seen thats admited to rereading things because you didnt pay attention while reading. I have that aswell but i find once i understand something iv got it dow pat. But yeah you might actually be dyslexic. I was diagnosed with add and dyslexia. Talk about being a trip. But the truth is you can study you just cant study by reading you need to write things down or take a test. I found i retain info better when i explain it to someone else you'll figure things out as you teach someone else
I can still feel tired some days but im able to get pretty frickin energetic when im happy
I can't focus on a thing for a long time
I am easily distracted
I daydream during conversation
I forget things easily
I am not hyperactive
I am somehow organized
Do i have ADD?

You just described me
@@dishadhouliyan5190 .....what?
very thoroughly explained, I found this video to be extremely helpful. I have ADD and I fully understand my disorder, and I loved the part that explained that children with ADHD can be very good with music. I am currently in college for music!! Thank you so much for this video
I haven't been diagnosed, but I'm pretty sure I have it (ADD, no H). It feels like having fog in your mind 24/7 that makes you forget things and ignore people half way in their sentences. I'm lucky though, when I was in highschool all subjects were interesting to me, EXCEPT maths and I suffered greatly for it. My attention sucked in that class so much that I failed 2 math grades... I'm also purposefully avoiding math courses for when I go back to college, because I know I'll fail them...
Ayoo facts, it is the same for me but for my add experience, the only way I would feel like I was smart or just normal in a math class if the math teacher in some sort of way made it were it was engaging in a sense of the teacher adding or combing it with an activity not to big or small or just simply having an more positive approach teaching the lesson. And definitely the other subjects were never a lost interest for me especially the science subjects even if I didn't pass, understood, if I started to daydream it is like I never lost the interest or got bored now the history subject it Barry allot, during my middle school years history class was absolutely my most hated class in fact I slept a lot in those class but in my highschool years history class became a favorite and it majorly dependent on the teacher who was teaching.
I was diagnosed with ADD in 2000, and this video perfectly describes my ADD
***** Thanks Cooldude. Problems of overdiagnosis and overprescribing in ADHD might exist. However, our animation will be online for several years so we left this kind of information out of the animation. Good you mention it in your comment: parents can keep this in mind and read current medical information/news. Thanks again!
Yeah when those little pop up things pop up on TV I can't pay attention to the show
I personally think meds just amplify it.(Or at least in my case.) I started out with meds in kindergarten(I'm 10 going into 6thGrd.) because my teacher check and saw that I wasn't on med and the school said meds on no enrollment. I showed some symptoms but at a low level then I got on my ADHD meds and they spiked. I've been on more meds the I have fingers and toes. Currently on two that "work".
overdiagnosing and underdiagnosing on adhd excist simulatenously. too many kids are given pills like candy, too many adults underdiagnosed that are sittinh in jails etc
@@LiSa-fc5sp It's easy to see the patterns in children because they are locked in school all day under the direct supervision of one or a handful of teachers but some people are overzealous and see the symptoms everywhere or don't really understand the nuances of the behaviors. Adults are much harder because there is no one looking out for you but yourself. Your boss isn't going to come to you and ask you to get tested; if the behavior is a problem they will just fire you. On top of that there is this emphasis on childhood behavior as though the condition will just disappear when you get older, but the reality is that if you have ADHD as a kid, you'll have it as an adult. Either you learn to compensate or your life becomes a mess because there is no one guiding you anymore.
I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD when I was 16 because one support teacher noticed my symptoms. From when I was diagnosed, I started geting help for it, therapy and medical. I was a C- average student with a few failed classes on my record, after treatment and help, I was in my last year of high school and was getting almost A's and at least B+'s (as my average). It explained so much about why I understood things differently. WE NEED SUPPORT STAFF
If you scrolled down, you have ADHD! Have a good day
A1 KEV 😂
i finished the video so i dont GET REKT NUB
I scrolled up
A1 KEV I scrolled down instantly...
oof
As a adhd person , when u recognize it’s a super power... man. The things u can do are endless
I honestly feel like god sometimes because of how smart the adhd makes u over normal people...
wow, im so USELESS... i have ADD, depression, ocd, and anxiety...
You're not useless you Just need to know how to manage them. Those are both your weaknesses and strengths. I struggle alot with my adhd/bipolar/anxiety. There is treatment to help
Hahahaha soo hanna (pretty little liers) just replied to gretchen wiener( mean girls) yeah i can see you to being freinds...
I thank you for telling everyone the difference. im tired of everyone thinking i have ADHD when i only have ADD and although my attention span and procrastination are terrible, i have no problems with substance and im pretty organized
I remember when the concept of me was first associated with this mysterious thing they call ADHD back in fourth grade at about the age of nine. I had just taken the bus to school (and being someone with ADHD, I wasn't exactly thrilled to be at school in the first place) and as I entered the classroom, I noticed my parents sitting at the back of the room. I was surprised and stricken with a sudden surge of shame that quickly turned to anger as I noticed them talking to some old, uncannily tranquil man that I had never seen before in my life. Now, to be frank, it feels weird to have these people who birthed you who are supposed to fill the caretaker role in your life but have unconsciously filled the child role throughout your childhood try to put you on medications. At first you just feel shocked. Then you start to feel violated. Then, after that, you just feel kind of helpless and you passively accept their "offer" of meds in the hopes that it will get them off of your back. That way you can avoid the feelings of being responsible for them when they become frightened at the possibility that they could be wrong to have considered the option of meds.
I found out way later in life that my mom got me tested for disorders when I was in elementary school, I actually didn’t find out I had ADD until highschool when I came across some paper work that the school had to have for my 504 plan and it listed on there that I was diagnosed with ADD, I couldn’t even describe how I felt when I found that out so naturally I went and asked her why does it say that, and she told me.. everything started making wayyy more sense after that. There was a reason as to why I was always struggling. It’s good to know these things so you can try to work around it and get help with the struggles that ADD can bring you
What needs to be included is that ADD and ADHD are life time things, yea symptoms are not as strong as when you are a child, but they still severely impact your life as an adult. You are only a child for a short amount of time. There is simply not enough information out there on being an ADHD adult. It is not something you "grow out of".....
I’m glad I found my family here.. hey guys where have you been all my life. We’re not alone.. love y’all
Ha ha this makes so much sense. Now I know what is responsible for my high social intelligence and my forgetfulness. Not to mention my low self-esteem
Does anyone else with ADD or HDHD have a sensory problem..I freak out when people chew food, clip nails, plates being hit together or metal hitting glass.. I also hate clothing.. I avoid wearing socks because they make me mad.. as a child I wasn't very sensitive to sound but touch was a big problem..I have been diagnosed with ADHD as a kid.. I never sat still and found many excuses to leave class cause I couldn't focus..ive searched and have seen others say it could be part of my ADHD.. But I'm unsure.. I honestly just want to be normal..
*ADHD
yea i have a very sensitive touch. i can get tickled by anything, even my clothe tickle me and i also love to touch certain material,And sometimes high pitches hurt me and sometime i feel like i "overhear" things in a way that i souldn't feel as loud as they do.
thank you.. cause i never understood why i was that way and no one around me who had adhd had that problem..
Miranda Irene Wow, I feel the same about everything you said up until the diagnosis part (I have ADD myself, and didn't discover I had it until I was in my early twenties)... The "avoid wearing socks because they make you mad" thing must sound incredibly strange to most people, but I can't agree more. I usually just wear three items of clothing around the house; shirt, underwear, pants (preferably shorts). As for annoying sounds: We have a washing machine here at home that starts to beep loudly three times every 90 seconds, when it finishes washing. It will keep beeping forever, until someone turns it of manually. Oh man... how I HATE that beep. The interval between beeps is JUST long enough to make me unwilling to drop everything I'm doing to walk up and down two flights of stairs - just to turn it off. It doesn't seem to bother anyone other than me and my ADD cousin who visits from time to time though.
I thought I was the only one! When people chew and I can hear them it drives me absolutely nuts. And my mom bites her nails a lot; the sound her mouth makes is unbearable. Sometimes when we're both sitting on the same sofa and I can hear it even more it almost makes me cry.
I had an ADD,
Got bullied,
Bad grades,
Anxiety,
My mother treated me,
Things got better,
Got self awareness,
Now i’m chasing my career.
Thank you mother....❤️
Hi Zavox, thanks for you comment and compliment. Hope your friend can learn to cope with ADHD if he wants to. It is always nice to have friends around for support! Take care and hope the Xbox is not a permanent addiction. Hugs, HealthchannelTV
fuck. i have add and everything mentioned applies to me. i just have to try not to use it as an excuse for not even trying to to things i don't like.
ebin mental disorders are an exaggerated part of being human, it isnt surprising that you recognize yourself in the diagnosis.
tjeulink true, just like horoscpes ;)
(i was professionaly diagnosed btw.)
ebin oh i didnt read that haha, its actually a mental disorder with psych students, they start to selfdiagnose because they see themselves in everything, quite intresting and a nice thought to get remembered how human it is to be "broken".
ebin ugh I know how you feel... I rebelled against the meds as a child as all I could remember is how angry and miserable I was through-out my early teens to late teens so I stopped taking them never showed up to another psyc drs appt in my life as I was 18 and thought I could easily do without any meds and I did because I actually liked what I was doing at my job at the time and was making a decent living wage.
Anyhow, I worked for a sales distribution company of which I was in with since I was 18 years old.I ended up working my way up in the ranks until the market crashed in 08 we had to let go of 98 of the 200 + people who worked there and had to close down a few vendors(warehouses). The business slowly went under and went down entirely.So I'm going on 30 now and i'm having trouble finding employment as I became very familiar with the routine and people I was in with at my other job. It's been well over a year since I had worked somewhere for more than a few months and can't adjust properly to working somewhere else as I find it overwhelming and get irritated quickly...Yet, I know exactly what you mean! lol . Anyhow goodluck to you
spooninspoon my story is a bit different since my parents were very much against the meds and i only started taking them when the situation became unbaerable and i was about to be kicked out of highschool. the rest of my school career went very smoothly after that and i stopped taking them around age 18, but now at 23 i find myself unable to finish anything i start, i'm at university and it's borderline impossible for me to just sit around and memorize all this useless crap that i don't even want to know, even though i know i have to. i feel like the biggest idiot, my exams start in 6 days and i haven't even started my studying. instead i'm on youtube typing my lifestory to some stranger.
i think i'll try to get back on my meds for a limited time, to see if that's still my ADD or i'f i'm really just a lazy person.
Here I am, tuning out putting down a comment and reading them.
Thank for clearly and simply explaining this, it's very hard both emotionally and mentally to properly tell people when they ask about what it means to have ADHD. I will be showing them this video :)
i like my adhd, its helped me in my life ...some minor problems but some major pluses. they medicated me for a little while and i became someone else,,I'm happy now to just be my adhd self :-)
Heinz Hafner Thank you for your comment. Good we can be of any help!
Healthchanneltv / cherishyourhealthtv The positive qualities of ADHD( high social intelligence great empathy caring etc) are they synonymous with ADD as well Do people with ADD often have these similar qualities. I'll really like to know. Also thank you very much for these educational videos. I know many people who suffer from ADD/ADHD and this gives me a whole knew insight on this disorder.
SuperBigdude77 I've unfortunately been diagnosed with ADD, and in regarding your very validated question, there is a distinct difference between the symptoms, it tends to vary from each person i am sure.
***** i get both
I have adhd
its shit ain't it? x
This is SUCH A GOOD VIDEO! Thank you so much for uploading this. It clears a lot of misunderstandings of people with ADD and ADHD...
Damn this is so Judgemental to me because I have add and I used to be unfocused and I had really bad grades . My english reading and writing were not that good . I felt insecure about myself being dumb , people would go tell me to go learn my vocab and I would get hurt from hearing it . My parents think I am struggling with school . I get lazy easily I know i have a lot of flaws but I don't smoke not drink, I try really try to focus and fight having this stupid disorder in my body . I wish I was normal like everyone else.. I felt lonely .. but now I have all straight B's I have a good behavior at school, I'm doing track . I love running and my IEP program helps me a lot with my learning . :/

I have ADHD, and when I try to work on stuff on the computer, I keep moving and can never be comfortable... and I also have OCD so things have to be perfect... so I’ll keep adjusting myself, and then get mad at myself because I’m in the wrong spot or sitting wrong... it’s super annoying. I can’t sit still, and have trouble sleeping... I’ve done meditations; relaxers to help... but these just make it worse for me. 😭
Edit: didn’t mention I can’t pay attention, but that is if I can get to what I’m actually trying to do that is.
I have add. Or adhd Inattentive...I’ve been told baby things. But i got diagnosed at 32...and super thankful for it.
Thank you for also including ADD, not just ADHD.
13 years old girls: OMG I DEFINITELY HAVE ADD SJSKSKSKKS
i think too many people blame their kids behavior on it. when really they just need some direction and proper discipline. parents are lazy these days. so they just put their kids on medication they don't need so they won't act up.
I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 8 and I used to fall asleep in class, fail my work, and was hypersensitive. But now im 16 and I have better control, kept my grades up, amd now im in Chemistry honors :))) so im pretty proud. And anyone can do it ;)
No, not unless you eat medicine.
I was never on meds :)
idk if you even got add, cause i got adhd and i work without my meds.. add dosen't go away if you think so, you are born with it, you learn how to live with it.
Right and I defo still have it. Just really learned how to cope with it. :)
sim265freak
impossible.
I have ADHD and omg i love learning things like music or how to operate things
Yo idk if I’m trippin or not but this shit say u posted this comment 81 years ago 😂
Billy Rhodes bruh same 😂
Hi Katie! Thank you for your comment! Great to hear you graduate, and thanks for your advice to others! Keep up the good work!
Got a friend with ADHD broke my ps4 controller cause he died in call of duty
Nuh thats bipolar shit or his a spoilt brat most likely that 1. dont blame us for other people shit. Plus people with adhd tend to be better at video games
Hi Lolleranne, thanks for you comment! Great we have given you helpful information.
Wow, I might have ADHD as the symptoms they said described me a lot.
If you've been to a psychologist at all and you weren't diagnosed with it even tough you might have been there for something else you wouldnt have it. they test for other things if you go for example depression. since its a possible symptom of ADHD theyll test for it just in case and same for any other thing you go there for
philinator71 Go visit a doctor for your Stupidness Please
U don’t x
Same
Problems with anger management and high mental sensitivity? Uhuh! Definitely have. I've diagnosed with ADHD and I actually started searching for videos on ADHD because I wanted to make sure that these problems are related to my having ADHD.
I got into trouble at work yesterday for yelling at a colleague for no reason. I was simply very tense at the moment and completely unable to think clearly.
A person without ADHD would not have reacted the way I did. I received a lot of critique for my "unprofessional" behaviour. While I don't to use my ADHD as an excuse, I do feel a lot better that was the actual cause of the problem and I do intend to talk about this with my colleagues on Monday.
I have really bad ADHD.. I tell my mom but she always says "youre normal everyone has it"
Lol everyone has it
"everyone has it" lololololOLOLOL
When I tell my mom it's hard for me to focus in school she just says I need to try harder :|
@ken that's some bullshit...I try my butt off in school and still sometimes I don't even notice the teacher started the lesson until 20 minutes in.
Ikr, I zone out all the time
I have ADD and tbh the ADHD kid's are annoying af at times, but I like how at times the entire class can discuss bout ADD and ADHD and the drug's we take 😂I remember getting bullied and over time I became addicted to the medication I take which was adderall mainly cuz it helped me pass my classes. I was scoring high cause of it, but over time I ended having a horrible incident with it which led to me not longer taking. Currently on Vyvanse.
Somehow I do not think they use ADD anymore. I think it got changed to ADHD because they have some of the same subtypes that ADD had. I was diagnosed with ADD as a child but I rarely hear the term ADD anymore. I guess it is interchangeable.
I stopped the video half way through to walk around my house aimlessly then returned to the video, read your comment, and realised how accurate you are :(
In school i used to make straight D's and F's and sometimes C's if i was lucky. My mom took me to a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with ADD. I started taking psychostimulents and i was making straight B's and often A's.
Bad parenting = Adhd. Just my opinon.
Adhd is actually ptsd from a narcissistic or abusive caregiver. Thats why there is the increased risk of being an addict. Your brain is stuck in trauma mode and your seeking dopamine triggers. To make you feel better. Thats why you can only focus on what interest you. ( addiction)
Music is the only thing that really helps my pain. I love music and making it.
They asked where it comes from. Our natural human brains that we are trying to alter into some sort of chemical "norm" that fits that learning needs of our terrible education system??? I'm sick of how people with ADHD/ADD are treated like there is something wrong with them. It shouldn't even be called a disorder unless it is extremely drastic. I have ADD and honestly see how I act as a natural part of my genetics and personality. I am great at a lot of things and take AP courses without using pills because I know it is not me that's messed up, it's the fact that this system is handing me a mind-altering drug and asking me to use it so I can "learn effectively." How do we even know that the way we are learning is effective? Why do we have to change ourselves?
+therightpaige good point yu got there
I dont think you have ADD
+therightpaige yeah the education system is very shit when it comes to adhd I get treated like I have a god damn mental illness half the time and thats what is driving people to be depressed :P
+therightpaige I totally agree with you. But that extra Dopamine goes a long way for some people. You might not need it, but some people with ADHD or ADD have much worse symptoms and simply forget everything, cant concentrate at all without medication. It's what ever works you. Have a happy ADHD day :)
I think its evolution. Some people are evolving to keep up with busy lives and I think ADHD might be evolution for multitasking
I'm 22 right now and I am really struggling to find out what I really have wrong with me, and I'm starting to think it was ADHD all along. I thought it was social anxiety or bipolar disorder, but considering how my school life has been I'm coming to ADHD as a conclusion (I loved to learn but school environment forced me to be class clown and I hated it but couldn't help it). In social interactions I can never listen, never make eye contact and can never remember anyone's name. I hardly even listen to anything anyone says, It's like I'm not even there and i switch my self onto auto pilot and smile and nod to everything they say. But there are times when I'm at a gathering and I go mental, talking to everyone about everything to anyone (sometimes with really positive consequences, sometimes destroying an entire friendship) and I can't control what I say. But it usually leads to me putting my own foot in my mouth or being simply scared to say anything, and hence can lead me into a depression that can last weeks. It's interesting though that in this they mention music because that really is one of the thing's I find solace in. If it all gets to bad I go somewhere private and listen to some radiohead.
ADHD and proud! :). You don't need to be treated like an outcast just because you think in a different way. We don't need to be drugged till we drown from side effects. We may need extra attention and more tolerance but when we are focused we do incredible things. For example Albert Einstein was ADHD and dyslexic he didn't solve probloms because he was just smart and had good grades. He solved problems because he looked at them in totaly different ways. And I bale ive anyone with ADHD/ADD Can do the same. Please don't shame yourself about this. Be proud of it , embrace it!
actually albert einstein did terribly in school haha
Einstein did not have ADHD. Einstein was very smart and he may have had something like aspbergers but he did not have ADHD. He was very focused. And he did do very well in school.
I have both Aspergers and ADD. They do not mix well, and cause me great mental pain and hinder my ability to get things done.
I've ADHD & ADD (environmentally amplified by trauma's) both of them will only get self-perceived as a curse, if you are intelligent enough or are forced to notice your own impulsive behavior (mostly in hindsight) knowing you can't rewind time to redo it, and notice yourself struggling with all the negative features, backlash & stigmas regularly.
I always excelled in school, academically and creatively speaking, except in math. Math.. One of the most important things in life right? The problem wasn't that I'm bad at math, the problem was that teachers have no clue how to teach adhd kids.
Oh look! A butterfly!
The internet is simultaniously the best and worst thing to ever happen to people with ADD and ADHD. On one hand, we have an endless amount of new stimuli so we never get bored, but at the same time, we have an endless amount of stimuli so we never get bored, and never get around to doing more important things.
I am a pretty good singer, I guess that came with my Add.
The Rooster 88 i feel same. :)
Got to the end of the video and realized I didn’t listen to it at all. Rewatched, but it happened again. And a third time, and a fourth.. and ooh a Ted talk!
I have ADHD so can I get a r.i.p.?
I ve been diognised :(
Dániel Kökény once you get some adderall in your veins, your life will get ten times better
@@griffinarnold3677 yeet to that
I have ADHD and i am doing a report/presentation on it in Health Class. This helped me quite a bit
i think i have adhd i can never pay attention for very long unless im really intrested in it
That can be more than just adhd. People without it can have that problem too.
Yes we can Hyper focus when we like a subject. When we don't care it's hard to show interest
I have been diagnosed with ADD ever since I started school, my mother had to pick me up from school while everybody was doing their homework because i could never focus on it in class. Now I'm 21 years old and i still struggle with remembering things, and focusing...it resulted in me having a very very low self esteem which i battle with even to this day. It can be hard at times, but I'm graduating college soon and i can say I made it. If anybody with similar problems think they can't achieve anything...you're wrong, never give up:)
Too long. I left.
Hi Lidiutza, thank you for your compliment.
I have ADD I know it how do I tell my mum?
+Fleetato Hey mum I got ADD
+Fleetato Hey mum I got ADD
Haha that's what I told her ;)
+Fleetato be. like mom I'm gay
Lol, "Hey Mom I'm gay."
"WHAT???"
"Ha just kidding I'm ADD."
"Oh... K."
I was diagnosed when I was 30 and find myself going months without taking even one dose of medication because I forget that I have it! The first time I ever took the medication I was flooded with memories and ambition. It is still this way.. when I do remember to take it.
ADHD is perfect,, yea its true i fell into a depression for 4 years . From 5-9 years old but thats wasent why we lost a house we went bankrupped and my parents broke up... But ADHD is a gift, it's who i am its true i care about others .. And ager management... Oh boy i do lol. But still it builds your creativity and makes you, you, we are still unique. So a lot of the things on this video are not correct , im now 13 and am perfectly able to do what i want.. This is not a disability, we are just more hyper
Wow your the only person who makes me feel better about myself I have ADD and it REALLY depressed me and sometimes suicidel lol I was teased at through this damn disorder.
I have ADD. Not really much positive about it too. In fact it's ruining my life.
wow! i could actually focus for once just for this video!
I never had ADD or ADHD what is it like?
+SKY-911☆CS:GO☆ ADD is bad because it makes you have trouble in school and you cannot be focused when doing something like listening to somebody like lets say I am in school and we are doing math I try to pay attention but my mind goes elsewhere and I can't seem to follow along in a lesson and when I get called do go up to the board to show everybody what the answer is I don't know because I didn't stay focused and didn't pay attention so it kind of hurts your grades in school and I know because I am struggling a lot in school.
+SKY-911☆CS:GO☆ oh and I have ADD or ADHD I don't know which one I think both
TheCrazeCrew
ok :(
it's not bad I have ADD or ADHD I don't really remember but I enjoy and struggle with it because I procrastinate a lot but I also love creating and it helps me tap into things and emotions that fuel my art
It's worse than that You can't get through school very well I have the same problem but it's a pain Mostly when kids reach 11 they get anger issues and like that it's weird
Hello Rosumisorimu, thanks for your comment and we hope you find the right additional information that is of help for you. Your family doctor could give you advice if you need it. Kind regards, Healthchannel
*Taking shots everytime she says "ADHD"*
I'm very lucky my add didnt lead to any other issues because I know that for some reason things people say to you that are hurtful stick for years but I finally learned how to suck it up
yes please, anyone who is suffering from adhd or add whichever, both are the same thing
please anyone who suffers in silence even adults with it, please seek medical help, life does get better when you get treatment
turning to alcohol and drugs for social acceptance does not work, ive done this and trust me it doesn't work, it makes it worse
when on medication, you have no need for drugs and alcohol, you can function just like everyone else when medicated
there is HOPE!! please get medical attention if you have been suffering for too long
it is treatable, trust science! don't give into the mis-information, this is a real condition and medicine has an extremely effective treatment for it
ADHD & ADD is NOT the same thing!
I have adhd
some days I am a dope and other days I'm the killer
ImMADasAMeatAxe
I got ADHD too, but did you even watch the video? ADD just is school, ADHD is school and alot of stuff,
either way adhd is something that is with you for life
if you really have it
ImMADasAMeatAxe
ofcourse it is, you are born with it. and live with it, as well for ADD. I am just pointing out it's not the same.
After Perhaps 30 years of feeling 'different' and struggling I'm finally going to a Psychiatrist to try and work this out....because this is me down to a T.
At 3:47 when she said special Ed I was like "fuck" cause I have ADHD and I'm in gay ass special Ed I freaking hate it it's so embarrassing every one makes fun of u my special Ed teacher yells at us and I just hate it there
That is terrible. You should report this to the board of education as soon as possible and seek help from ones who care.
I know what your talking about I have to go too speech class and I hate that women she is always trying to correct me and I hate that I swear I walk out mumbling to myself what a bitch I fucken hate that women
It's no fault of your own but please try and use different adjectives. Saying gay ass is basically making fun of people that are different than you whether you intend to or not. Considering your post is about being made fun of, you know how bad it can hurt. Don't be too concerned though, school isn't everything. You'll get through it just do your best and stand up for yourself as best you can. You're worth it.
Thnx Jordan and I apologize
i Didnt hear her say Ed... lol my adhd is real
Finally someone pointed out that add is also something the same as ADHD because when ever I say add every one yells at me
Crap, I think I have add :(
Not to worry it isnt the end of you'r life it makes you special (meaning you ar not worser or better than othet ppl)
GhenGhost it’s k if u do I have ADHD sure it sucks but I couldn’t imagine myself without jt
GhenGhost From what I've read, ADD is caused due to a lack of dopamine. That's why people with ADD are more likely to become addicts, because drugs stimulate those same areas as dopamine does in the brain.
I’ve just been diagnosed with ADD an hour ago. Was pretty shocking but a lot of things make sense now...
Well...that crossed out ADHD in that girl in my class...I guess she is just hyperactive (and a liar)
+pornboi yonkers I haven't known anyone who did that, but it's very believable. People lie about problems and disorders that i have and say they do too except it's "way worse" i guess the only reason they don't say that about ADHD is because I'm too embarrassed to admit i have it.
So I have ADD which is really hard but combined with my
- OCD
-Clinical Depression
-Social anxiety
- Panic Disorder
- Separation anxiety
- Aspergers
- Dyspraxia
NONE of these things are jokes.
They will not make you cool.
They are not to be self diagnosed.
They are serious, real and sometimes horrible to live with.
If you believe you have anything like one of the many mental "issues" people suffer with talk to a doctor or trusted family member.
Do not think that because, for example, you like things to be tidy means that you have OCD. This is not only poking fun at a difficult life problem for some people it is blowing everything out of proportion. This is also like saying because I have a single zit that my entire face is going to fall off.
Thank you for reading this lecture.
Sincerely,
A pissed off person who struggles with these things on a daily basis.
💛
