    ADD & Loving it?! has been called “the best film ever made on ADD.” Okay, we called it that, but thousands agree! Originally aired on Global Television in Canada and PBS in the US, this award-winning documentary is changing lives.
    Made by and for adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, this is a must-see for anyone who has ever been impacted by this much-misunderstood disorder -- or wondered if they had it.
    “I've been misdiagnosed for over almost 30 years. I saw ADD and Loving It?! and it explains my whole life the way nothing else has. I started reading, going to support groups and diving into this new journey… I feel like I have a whole new lease on life!” -DP

    Its not about putting a positive spin on ADHD. It's about understanding that your brain isn't wired like %80 percent of the world. Like being left handed in a right handed world. What you focus on grows. Focusing only on the negatives will produce negative perceptions and outcomes. Focusing on the positives will produce positive perceptions and outcomes. Because of the neurological factors of ADHD by addressing self beliefs and focusing on strengths with therapy and ADD coaching will help.

  • @maniacalmania
    @maniacalmania 12 лет назад +7

    @MmmSauceNeal It's not rhetoric. ADHD is one of the MOST studied disorders. Conflicting views means science is at work. Nothing worked for me until I started vyvanse, and it is like a whole new world has been opened up to me. Not to say I don't diet an exercise, but everyone is different. Don't condemn someone because something different works for them. Your skeptical hesitance is a sign of a sharp mind, but I disagree.

  • @maniacalmania

    @aliweston
    That was me exactly. I don't see it as a weakness or a flaw, I see it as a creative spark. I'm so smart and I can do so much other people can't. ADHD doesn't mean anything other than you are wired differently. I try to make my world fit me, because I will never fit in "society". I don't think about scared children, I think about professors who come to class looking sloppy and unorganized, but are the brightest minds in their field. I'd rather be no other way.

    I know this comment is two years hold, but what the heck, I'll reply anyway.
    As a college student who has had serious trouble with ADHD, I'd recommend you watch this documentary. In no way does the tone of it echo what you seem to think it does, on the contrary, it discusses in detail the problems that ADHD folks face, and lays out a means by which they can minimize those problems and embrace the positive aspects of the disorder.
    I don't think being "doom and gloom" helps at all.

    I respect Dr. Hallowell's putting a positive spin on ADHD (the whole Ferrari brain and Chevy brakes thing) but for some kids with severe ADHD, the reality (even when medicated) is often more like: I have no friends, my parents are always yelling at me, I'm flunking 2 classes at school, I can't seem to control my impulses, and I have no idea how to make it better. And on top of that, I'm supposed to be loving it! For these kids, there is little that's positive about having ADHD.

      I am here trying to find the video titled 10 Reasons you can know you're NOT adhd that I watched not so long ago. It was the perfect way to share with another that I recognise has the same symptoms as me. That video so effectively shut up the voices in back of my mind that constantly question my diagnosis. I need to share it and the benefits it brings. Does anyone know why it has been made private? Hello!!!?? Rick????

      I pulled my eyelashes out when I was a kid and my 23 y/o daughter did this too when she was a teenager. But we weren’t taking anything medication wise...just went thru a lot of stress. I feel like such a bad parent...I didn’t know until now what all of this was. I could’ve helped her if I had known these signs. We are estranged now...but this explains why we can’t find our way back or trust eachother.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE this documentary. It was the catalyst that lead me to get tested for ADHD which I was diagnosed as having. Getting diagnosed has improved my quality of life. I recommend watching this if you think you or someone you love has ADHD. I recommend watching it if you are a teacher for any age group - K-12, college or adult education. AND - good luck to my fellow ADDers...I tried to get my mom to watch it with me and she kept getting distracted. After 4 hours of her getting up and down from her chair I finally turned off the documentary (it's not that long, but I paused it every time she left the room) and I don't think she heard or saw any content in the film, even when she was sitting in her chair watching. :( Sadly that's just a part of the disorder.

  • @makexxwar
    @makexxwar 11 лет назад +1

    You are right. The reality is that hundreds of studies have shown there are literally no positive things about being ADHD. Many people with ADHD happen have gifts they are good at, but they have those gifts in spite of the disorder, not because of it. If ADHD is to be taken as the serious disorder it is by the general public, it can't be touted as a gift. As long as it is, people will denigrate it as being inconsequential, or even a moral shortcoming, which is just patently false.

    Treatment for ADHD does NOT have to be pharmaceutical stimulants! You can do just as much by using some basic nutritional supplementation. Fish Oil and a Multi-V! I was irritable and uncomfortably focused on every ADD med I was put on. There is another way people, and you don't have to buy in to this rhetoric.

    It's not enjoyable, but you can enjoy certain aspects if you put them in a certain light. However, I don't think anyone who has ADD/ADHD "loves it" to the degree the host seems to suggest.
    The opinion(s) of one/few person(s) with a certain condition do/es not represent the opinions of ALL with the same/similar conditions...
