Having ADHD is having to rewind this video and rewatch it over and over again because you either zoned out or forgot what he said.🤦🏻♀️🥴
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it ...........
A practical tip for the adhd community: when you want to do something that displeases you, find something to reward yourself once you’ve finished (i do this to get things done more efficiently because i cant stip thinking on the price)
Bong bits work
Hits
@@TheKusshy jj
I do this with cigarettes haha
I find this a weird tip to be honest. ADHD brains are notorious for not being motivated or interested in future rewards. That is the whole problem sometimes. Saying to yourself if you do this then afterwards you get this is a reward system that works for a neurotypical brain. Our brains are engaged by what we find interesting in that moment and not the price at the end. I'm not saying this won't work but it is something most ADHD people hear a lot and for most of us(maybe not all) that simply won't work.
5. Consider medication
4.exercise even 3x20 minutes a week...results are on par with medication
3.education .learn about your adhd
2.find a creative outlet ...need it as much as a cow needs milk?lol
Needs to be the right level of challenging and matter to you.
1. Connections are the driver of all that is good.
Great recap :)
Having 30 years experience managing adhd in my children’s daily myself I know this advice works ........just because it sounds simple doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.
@@alanberkeley7282 ..... are you okay?
Lmao, as someone who probably has inattentive adhd, im grateful for this list. Thanks m8
lol he said we need creative outlet as much as a cow needs to get milked.
I like how he listed the tips in descending order of importance to keep us concentrating the whole video
I really like your number one. I didn't actually think about it much before, but I think it's true, especially as an adult. You realize that ADHD makes you feel disconnected with others, because you are not neurotypical. Many people with ADHD struggle with anxiety, and depression I think because they feel misunderstood or different than others. But with other people with ADHD, and also with loved one who understand you uniquely, you feel like you can be your interesting, creative, crazy self.
😭😭😭
Emotional connection is the most important for people with ADHD as also they tend to be addicted to something. Emotional, social, spiritual connection is the opposite of addiction.
I have always found it hard to connect with people for prolonged periods. To me nobody is like me and sometimes I can be too much for people. My close friends deserve a medal for sticking around 😂 Im good in small doses iv been told
@@Don-tm7zx sometimes I find I am too much for myself lol
@@martinoheat1712 lol
I'm 28 years old and just been told recently that when I was little they diagnosed me with ADHD. I always use to wonder to myself, why am I like this? so thankful for videos like this
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it ...........
My son have been using this herbal product for 1month now so far it has cured his ADHD and eliminate his lack of social skill as well , now he is verbal , I got this herbs from Dr imenherbal on his channel and it work perfectly . Now my son is completely free
5. Consider medication.
4. Physical exercise (20mins thrice a week)
3. Embrace ADHD.
2. Find a way to engage creatively.
1. Connect
This was beautifully put. I love the fact that he said to consider your adhd as a different way of being and learn more about it.
Yeah, I totally agree with that! So many great resources available online now for educating ourselves about our condition. And then it's a case of gradually putting them into practice and changing our lives. I've been working hard at it for a long time and I'm seeing huge differences now. You can change your life!
"It is in connection we are at our best, and in disconnection that we're at our worst"
I think you've given me another inspirational quote to write down, thank you
All i know is that i have felt absolutely crippled lately due to my adhd. Im excited to try these out.
Wdym by crippled out
You’ll get better fam!
It’s hard , like the adhd Evolves over time , comes harder to control
I can't really express how grateful I'm right now for all the information I've got from you about ADHD, I am literally crying because I never heard about it and somehow I've got in this video and it just BANG, lightened 15 years of painful struggle. So many things makes sense now, from the slow but steady decline since I stopped drawing at high school to my complete isolation and loss of interest even in my closest family members... The blindness of one of my eyes when I was 18yo, which also have affected me functionally and so much more.
I always had this crying "urge" to draw again, but since I have assimilated it with "childishness" and also set myself to think that there are more productive ways to spend my time, little did I know that maybe I've been sabotaging myself all these years for not letting my creativeness flow again.
I will study more about it and search local professional help and I NEVER write any kind of comments but I felt like you deserved to know how astonished, happy, amazed I am because of some of your videos.
Thank you, sincerely.
Drawing is my outlet too. And I picked it back up last summer and cant describe how at home I felt.
What a beautiful comment. I feel relieved too when someone helps me see adhd as a positive and gives me helpful ways to address it.
I feel exactly the same, we’re definitely not alone. I’ve been struggling with anxiety for more than 10 years, and thanks to this kind of videos I’ve realised that it’s possible that everything comes from ADHD. I’m finally seeing an specialist in a couple of weeks and I’m beyond excited. I might not have it, but I need to know!
I’m sending you a virtual hug 🙆🏻♀️✨
that 4 minutes was more insightful than a 1 hour ding bat who doesn't have adhd
It’s been consistent disconnection in my life… outcast is a good word … misunderstood… defensive, constantly feeling like I’m under attack from others .. hypersensitive as it’s so difficult to express myself in conversation and the main part is the inconsistency in how I come across to others depending how my emotions are reacting to the person or situations I find myself in or in the ones I can’t get out of….!
Then spending weeks, months and years ruminating over every bad or misunderstood situation or conversation….. it’s crap…. Except for my wife who understands and my daughter who’s fantastic….
I’m glad you have understanding people in your life that’s good, idk if I have adhd but everything you explained sounds very familiar to me
I feel you brother.
I'm 48 years old and have battled it my entire life..along with depression, anxiety and OCD.
It's been quite a ride. But I still find peace and joy in the things I love..like family and nature.
Hang in! There's alot to be thankful for.
same
I went through near 19 years of my life not knowing I had ADHD and now that I got diagnosed I felt horrible from all the times I’d get in trouble and not being understood l, now I know I can help myself and get out of my depressive episode, I’ll try to apply these tips into my life
Thank you for taking the first step and expressing your struggle. We want you to know you are not alone in how you feel. We hope you will check out the links to the resources in the description box for where to learn more and where to get treatment and support.
I feel this is gonna happen to me, I’m 20 and just now curious if I have adhd. I’ve had many signs and symptoms but ignored them, I really became curious after a previous conversation I had, the person was talking to my and I was trying my best to focus and listen but i couldn’t understand/comprehend anything they were saying, I heard them clearly and fine and new the words they were saying but idk my brain just couldn’t take none of it in.
I felt angry 😡 for not knowing my illness for long 3 years
Same..
Same. ❤
It is hard. Always ppl view us as lazy. It is really hard 😒
😒🤍
Exactly
Amazing words of wisdom! Thank you once again Dr. H :)
thank you so much! It really made me feel better to hear this.
I’m so grateful for this video, really needed it today.
Wow... I've been feeling like I need a creative outlet to dump all these ideas running through my mind when I'm trying to focus or read.. thank you very much
Wow. This just can't be overstated.
I just watched the video 4 times in a row. The first time, I was just delighted to find this information, and every point resonated with my experience. Then I had to watch it a few more times (I watch everything on x2 speed haha) just to soak it in. Each time I watched it, I picked up more. Then I shared it with 2 people. Then I watched it again (haha) and liked and subscribed, because I want to help this message find its way into the world.
Thank you so much for these tips it really helps me out considering i have a mild bit of adhd but still loses focus alot and i really am happy to see this video now i know how to deal with adhd
Hi Dr. Hallowell, I read your book with Dr. Ratey. You have both changed my life. I don't like to admit it but I was in tears multiple times because it all finally made sense. (Esp pg. 192) thank you for writing your book.
- A grateful 25 year old masters student SR
I genuinely feel my best when im connecting with people. I love finding out about peoples passions. When a homemade expert talks to you about what they know you can learn so much so quickly. I love encouraging people to talk about their interests
I love how easy to watch this video is
Thank you for the video! I know this to be a great struggle in my career advancement and your tips seem very doable, thanks again!
I always thought my adhd was just apart of growing up and maturing from childhood. Now, more than ever, it really posses as a burden and struggle in adulthood. And like autism and turrets, adhd is a spectrum that effects everyone differently in different ways but can produce similar results, (negatively impacting mental health, difficultly in everyday life, wether social, work, self sustainability). So sitting down and confronting yourself about it is the best thing anyone can do. I’m here now, never have gone on medication, and realizing it is now necessary. I’m at a my last my resort, because I feel stuck in all directions like being in a whole. I wish everyone can help themselves whether adhd or not and be the best person they can achieve to be.
Thank you for your comment, it was as if I'd written it word for word myself. 😊
I don't have an ADHD diagnosis altho I have many traits, and at 55 yrs I doubt I'd get one. When you hit 50 the med profession don't care too much. Almost like 50 + people are on their way out so why waste resources.
The game changer for me was exercise, I have to be careful that I don't become obsessed with it. I used to exercise 2 -3 hrs each and everyday. When I missed a day I would punish myself with crazy self loathing dialogue.
Now, I do what my body allows me too.
The greatest advice my mother ever gave me was. "Always be kind to yourself."
I still punish myself internally with critical dialogue, yet reset my mind with that advice.
I hope that the help you need is offered and I think it's something to be really proud of that you are helping yourself and being an inspiration to others.
Peace to you friend. 😊
@@Ethericrose I completely agree and relate. Exercise does wonders, especially compacting the symptoms of my adhd. I almost have to pull myself away from the gym bc I’ll just stay there until I’m sick (occurred a few times). But it just makes me feel better about yourself in multiple metrics and helps diminish the mentally of “can’t do” or “do it later” because I feel accomplished and prove myself better. The very important thing about using exercise to treat adhd is eating enough food. Especially omega-3s and carbs, without enough fats and glycogen, cognitive functionally will be poorer. Which maintaining enough energy and nutrients is super important for someone with adhd. As to why I’m totally ok with my physic (ofc I always push myself and prefer to be bigger, leaner, stronger). The mindset of knowing my physical health is good since relative fat is important and doesn’t define cardio health. Overall just sets me up to have better mental health and not loathe myself for something I didn’t understand or couldn’t control.
ADHD is a super power. You described, everything I believe in and what I was raised with. Thank you
Philosophy and psychology have been my creative outlet
I Was Born With ADHD, Loved When YouSaid When You Have A Brilliant Idea Nd I Could Be Talking Nonsense The Next Minute That’s Always Me Feeling Like One Of The 5%.😭😮💨
Right!
Thank you, good sir. Very inspiring.28 years old with OCD, ADHD and BPD.
What is your day to day experience like with those three? Especially bpd?
@@K3zz21 well, sir , in one word, it is no fairy tale. the worst thing is there is stigma to mentall ilnesses where I live and I am treated as someone with much ado about nothing.
i wake up and try to win the moment. I feel anxious most of the time. I have techniques learnt over the course of 15 years. there was some sort of learning disability conditioned due to prolonged stress and/or depression caused by loneliness which was caused by social pressure on conformity. I kinda accepted my quirks and currently am on a Shrek 1 period of my life , living in my own swamp on my own without being judged or critisized. Techniques help to a certain degree. The rest is just good old teeth gritting struggle, like constantly being in a dentist's office, tolerating uncomfortable yet not agonizing pain. Silent desperation.
I am finer than ever , actually. Painkillers and light tranquilizers are an oasis in a desert of my life path which I am being drawn to by a gravitational force of inevitable death which I have been longing for a decade , but still am afraid to commit suicide.
I love little moments of happiness. I live in flashes of them. I blink and lo and behold I am not me any longer. I am a worried sack of meat and bones, heavily lost and confused and in pain. There was no model of my selfness , only a vibrant highway of thoughts and feelings riding through my conscious day to day. Only last year DBT had helped me to cope better. Hail to Internet.
I don't have anyone around to sympathize. I don't expect anything. I call the death Black God , that will put me to eternal rest. Red god is my life , full of pain and some relief too.
Overall, could be worse. Asides from these, I am not struggling with any physical illness, just some minor stuff. Only, here, in autocratic Uzbekistan , the economy is quite awful and I starve sometimes. Also, climate is awful due to local sea crisis (Aral Sea disaster). A wasteland. Life here is misery even without illnesses. There's not even a cinema to go to. And I want to watch The Batman on a big screen.
Thank you for asking. Appreciate it.
@@CATDHD I here a lot of good results from the mindfulness exercises in DBT if you are in a non-depressed period deeper meditation may become your refuge. The pills are only a trap really.
Better to be dependent on your inner tools if you can, at least they are always with you. All the very best Friend.
Same bpd adhd anxiety and Hashimotos. Life is brutal
@@jenivettebigham7060 sorry.
where are you from? do you visit therapist?
Thanks so much for your to the point video , I appreciate the constructive suggestions
Awesome! Thank YOU for watching. Be sure to subscribe to our channel to be notified when we drop new videos.
100% agree with working out/physical activity. I had a job in the oilfield and it was extremely strenuous on my mental health because it took all the time I had for stuff I liked to do away from me. On top of that I gained about 20 pounds because there was no physical activity at all. As soon as I quit that job I got the free time to go back and start hitting the gym again. I felt like a COMPLETELY different person, for the better. My mood changed from constantly dull and boring to extremely happy like 90% of the time, I was more conversational and Enjoyed everything again. Now im working in a supplement store in my tiny town for minimum wage and back to hitting the gym and playing music and I’m SO MUCH happier. I still get dull sometimes but I have a doctors appointment soon and hopefully the meds will help me out with that. Love the video I agree with everything this guy said 100%
Thank you so much. Brief and to the point
Thankyou. Great video. I have often remarked that the easiest and most enjoyable job I ever did was working in a laundry - I was physically moving the whole time and now it makes sense that it worked well for me. My brain needed the movement!
Always thought that there was something wrong with my mind. Your third point about educating ourselves is so important. Thank you, sir. I'll gonna follow your tips. Already following two out of five though.
I'm adhd bipolar and high potential. Sometimes I'm scared to telling to people and talk about my mental disorder because of their reaction. Now I don't really care. I am how I am. We are NOT crazy just because we have mental illness. This difference make us strong.💞
Thank you so much for this. It's important to me because I now have added challenges in addition to my ADHD, depression and anxiety diagnosis. Menopause symptoms have tremendously impacted my already fragile mental health. So, now I'm going to do my best to put the 4 new tips to work (I already do 1 of them).
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it ...........
thank you so much! all the adhd tips I've read have always seemed quite obvious and also framed as trying to be as close to neurotypical as possible. these tips really resonated and feel like actually learning to live with adhd rather than trying to deny it. this brought me out of my existential ADHD rabbit hole ❤
You're welcome! We are so happy it was helpful for you. We hope you will check out the links to the resources in the description box for where to learn more and where to get treatment and support.
Totally agree with what you have said. ADHD and the parents feel so disconnected from the normal world. Weve been prodded, poked and pushed from pillar to post trying to find that label and then what...were exhausted, overwhelmed and dont want to do anything or go anywhere. All five points have long gone, especially connection. Thank you also for being so positive. Other experts are so negative and the feeling is that adhd is a life long sentence that will overwhelm and nothing will come of your future. Thats a hard pill for parents (like me ) to swallow when i think of my young son. I cant wait to listen to more of your wisdom and advice. Thank you so much for sharing
Saw your post and that no one else had responded, and of course, therefore had to.😁 Please don’t feel disheartened. You are early in the game and as a parent you are doing your job by getting your son the help he needs. Many don’t get that. You are ahead of the game catching it before he gets too many of those negative labels, like lazy, ingrained as part of him rather than his ADHD. He, like many of us, just simply has a brain that follows its own path and once he figures out the direction, he’ll be able to run with it. You are educating yourself, obviously, and there is so much great info out there. How to ADHD has a great video on finding the strengths and superpowers that ADHD affords us. Things like attention to detail, calm in crisis, creative problem solving and finding unique connections, are just some of the many that almost every single commenter posted. Knowing those positives now will keep your son moving forward, even when tough times come as they always do. ADHD isn’t a failure, neither in yourself nor your son. It’s literally just a different way of being.
@@TheBaumcm You are a Beautiful Soul! Do you know wheteto go for treatment? I am 46 with ADHD and BD over decades of trauma and abuse. All the while I visited my community psych. clinic. For decades I have tried every medication they have thrown at me after taking me off my meds for panic attacks because ppl other abuse them. They had never, in 20 years , given me even one medication to treat my adhd also because other ppl abuse them. I was with this clinic for decades and feel they reaped me of my life. I have disassociated myself from everyone and my own kids have a hard time even being around me now. They are everything to me...
I had to leave that place and get a new primary to refer me to a new psychiatrist which failed I still haven't seen anyone and need my life back! I would even try someone online but don't know how to choose a real person that really cares.
I find intermittent fasting helps as much as excercise. Coherent breathing meditation is good too.
+ Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Amen 🙏!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The man in Luke 16:24 cries: ". . .I am tormented in this FLAME."
In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
In Matthew 25:41, Jesus says: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting FIRE,. . ."
Revelation 20:15 says, " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE." And please repent of all of your sins and be baptized by the Holy Spirit before it is too late, you will never know when the time will come 🙏!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen 🙏!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for tip number 5. Simple but necessary.
I love that this video was so short & to the point so I didn’t lose focus😂
I really needed this video.
the creative outlet is so so so important. i have noticed that no matter how tired/exhausted i am from doing all the things one has to do, if i dont find the time (for me thats at least 4-5 hours/day) to do what i love and to get those creative ideas out of my brain i simply wont be able to sleep. i need that time just as much if not more than i need sleep. its just as relevant. whenever i talk to neurotypical people i notice that my need for free time/creative outlet time is much much higher than the nt person’s.
also if i try to live a “normal” productive life (9-5 job, cleaning, eating, exercising, sleeping at least 7h, etc) i dont have time for my hobbies.
im currently trying to figure out how i can balance everything in a way that makes me feel good and happy and not exhausted/sleep deprived.
All this is so true! When I exercise more I can stay more focused 💪 and I'm lucky I can write music 🎶 and make music so I have that creative outlet and it's something I truly love and your right about connection that's the most important! ~ SGC
Much Love Bro. Youve helped me alot
Absolutely practical and lovely advices! :)
Brilliant!! Thank you So Much!!
thank you sir..great advice.
Great video, thank you.
Love you doc my daughter diagnosed with ADHD such reliable information thanks slot Usha from india
Thank you , recently did the aq test with my partner do I could be truthful with myself , scored 32 , starting to think might be some borderline stuff going on , this has given me some good ideas and even if I called it wrong , good ideas for life anyway 👍
I love your video and authenticity!
0:47 helps me the most when I do moderate to heavy exercise. Used to work at a job where I was 10 hours 8-day 45 hours a week. Stress was killing me and I had to remove myself because my mental health was suffering severely.
Since then I've landed a job with management is much more understanding. I now have time to focus on what I enjoy and my own personal goals and ambitions.
This was just fantastic thank you for the tips
Always yearned for creativity. The problem is I should really consider medication because of the way if started affecting me. Plus I chose to continue my studies so it is a must.
Wow. Happy to have found you.
Thank you for the video
it feels like someone completely understood me and gave a tips for me. I haven't know that I have adhd for longtime, but recently I met a guy, who has a adhd and he mastered it, and he encouraged me to study about adhd, about me.
Thanks for posting this-this helps :)
Amazing video! Thank you! 😊🤟
Thank you!
Thank you.
Many thanks Dr

@@PsychHub I will do, thanks again.
I see what he did there it's so ADHD-friendly: putting things in descending order of importance, having vid that's only 4 min
thanks, education is underrated
I really wish we hadn't mixed together ADD and ADHD cuz I feel like there's such a big difference in how we work. I try to find tips for helping with ADD but I only find for ADHD and there's like 1 or 2 tips throughout several videos that feel manageable and relevant for me
The term ADD is now considered outdated, precisely because it was causing confusion and was unnecessary. The term ADHD is now used as the umbrella term to encompass all shades of the condition; it's broken down into subtypes, like primarily inattentive and primarily hyperactive. They manifest in quite different symptoms and behaviors. Women are more likely to have the inattentive type and men the hyperactive type, but those are only general tendencies and not hard and fast rules. But if you search for the types or categories of ADHD that would be much more helpful for finding information and strategies.
@@camez2345 I know that, but I personally honestly prefer to still use the term ADD because then people understand what I'm referring to. If I say I got ADHD everyone expect the hyperactive kind, if I search for help in specific situations for ADHD, they never account for people with my type of ADHD, if I changed it to "inattentive adhd" it doesn't make a difference. However if I ask for help with ADD I get better results in finding useful info and tips. I honestly think it causes more confusion to have the term ADHD as an umbrella term for them because it's a bigger difference than one just being inattentive and one not being, plus the term ADHD still features the H, basically still referring to the hyperactivity even if u don't have it. It just makes my life easier to say ADD, cuz it causes less confusion with the people in and around my life and my situation
@@fritzmoy101 Well, but the term is on its way to becoming obsolete as a diagnostic term, so why cling to it? I suppose I understand the hesitation about the hyperactivity part, but it's also our job to be ambassadors for people legitimately diagnosed with our condition to represent ourselves as a united front and educate everyone else who doesn't have it, on what it's all about. There's very little utility to keeping two separate terms and in fact, the lack of cohesion really kind of promotes the idea that it's a dubious or at best imprecise diagnosis, which is unfortunately a rampant belief.
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it ...........
Thanks
I find it hard to do anything and complete it. I am so distracted all the time and procrastinate all day. I never used to be like this. I have become worse.
Medication changed my life I went from a heroin addict, who struggled with ADHD to owning my own business. My own house, and my life is great. I could not have done it without my monthly visits with my counselor, my psychiatrist and my ADHD medication.
I used to thrive because I was SO active and connected.
Since becoming a mum (and doing 18 of his 18.5 years solo!) I have just got more and more isolated, by choice, just focussed on my son and work, neglecting ALL my friendships (kidding myself that liking their posts on Facebook was effective maintenance🙄)
I loved being a mum and loved my job, so felt like that was enough.
But I see now that I got so lonely without realising it.
Then I got cancer, in between caring for elderly parents til their deaths, (losing 3 jobs as a result of my bunking off to nip over to look after whatever issue my dad was panicking over.. he had Alzheimers, rang me all the time 💔)
I have to agree with all 5 of these, but lack of exercise and not having some kind of routine are my absolute kryptonite.
Not working has been a disaster for me.
My son is now at Uni, and I feel like I have no purpose and just waste away the days, then feel shit that once again I have wasted a day of my life! (Especially beat myself up as I am a cancer SURVIVOR, and ‘wasting my 2nd chance at life’ 😱😡 Lord we are hard on ourselves!!💔)
One step at a time can get you anywhere 🤗
This video was so helpful
Thank you for watching!
I'm 37 years old and have always felt off...
This year I've started to learn a little bit about ADHD. I'm still not sure I have it, but it sure would explain a lot if I did.
Still trying to figure out the next steps... hence why I ended up here.
As someone who is 37, and has lost almost all contact with family and old friends, it's difficult to know where to begin, or even why to begin.
i wasnt paying attention for a minute while watching this video and i have adhd lol
Thank You Dr Ned from Mumbai, India. I have struggled through ADHD and misdiagnosed as dysthymic for years. Fortunately when I changed Dr. He came to right conclusion. I should emphasise that Yes, these strategies mentioned in your video do work.. Specially Medication, Connection and Exercise. I have tried it and got awesome results.
Thank You for these short yet immensely useful tips.
Hey Yogesh, we have a peer support group for Indians with adhd on discord, would you like me to give you an invite?
@@anoushk Yes.

You are a gem
great video
you really are an adhd expert because you made this video 4 minutes long but said so much in that time
Lol I got distracted half way. Should really work on my adhd.
As soon as he said find the right difficult it sounded familiar. I just finished reading ADHD 2.0 a few days ago so I was like aaaay!!! Had to check the book spine to make double sure lol
I used this doc herbs for my son and now my son is completely free , his speaking and behavior is ok . His herbs is 100 % working on ADHD . I met Dr imenherbal on channel and I'm happy to share my experience about it ...........
thankyou. cried after watching this
You're welcome ❤
I have been on medication and I need medication now but the pharmacy won't give it to me. The state is not adult ADHD friendly at all. What is the most adult ADHD friendly state in the U.S. I've lived in California since 2013 but CA is changing. I walk 3 to 5 miles a day. More now than when I took medication but that's because I can't focus.
Sry to hear that friend.
Just want to let you know that the proper therapeutic dose of fish oils (min 1500mg/day) can help a bit, 5 to 25% percent improvement on any given day depending on many variables. (New research shows ratios of dha to epa in 1:4 or 1:4 or 4:1 is ideal, but not many companies have caught up with the research yet.
Sry, I've forgotten which was meant to be the higher ratio dha or epa).
Abyway, I know it's not much compared to the 70-85 percent or so from meds but if your desperate it can help some.
Just had an afterthought, you may want to look into and compare hemp oil figures of omegas. Might be a better and cleaner source.
Worth trying out. We are all so different.
All the best
I like this guy. Anyone know if he sees patients on line?
Thank you. Diagnosed at 44 with severe combined ADHD. Devastated. My life has been ruined by misdiagnosis. Feel all too late. So disconnected for so many years, beyond depressed. I have to live alone in the country cost of living is so high in my country but find it so isolating. Still waiting to see if I can get meds & taking forever. Really debilitating for me. Ended up very, very alone. Lost my job & failed at so much so my esteem & confidence just destroyed. Don’t know if I can ever do better. 😢
44 is not that old, really. I think you still have a great deal you can achieve. Keep trying, you'll eventually get the help you need.
5. I might consider it, depending on the other points.
4. I have astma, gonna be a bit harder to do.
3. On it! Regarding hyper/no focus, i usually experience hyper focus playing videogames.
2. I've tried this before. I'm somehow always too critical towards myself to continue improving. Kinda ironic.
1. I agree, i find myself talking to random cassiers alot. Small talk usually. And animals, oh yes, they are not safe from me HAH.
I’m 20 and just now curious if I have adhd. I’ve had many signs and symptoms but ignored them, I really became curious after a previous conversation I had, the person was talking to my and I was trying my best to focus and listen but i couldn’t understand/comprehend anything they were saying, I heard them clearly and fine and new the words they were saying but idk my brain just couldn’t take none of it in.

I'm on 20 mg of Ritalin and 25 mg of quetiapine, which is an anti psychotic. I also use quetiapine to sleep at night as i am undiagnosed insomniac and i take 100mg and I'm able to sleep at night.
Get on 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 all agreed, I want to do a creative writing course.... Better late than never, but late diagnosis. ❤️🙏
Love it
