5 minutes would only able to cover one tiny speck of snow on of a huge ice berg.
There’s a lot more
But anyway i am happy to see Indian video discussing about it.
It felt like a warm hug.
Hi, thank you so much for watching our video. We'll try to make more such videos to talk more about ADHD. Keep supporting our work :)
Important to note that adult ADHD patients face many issues:
1. We have only 2 drug options versus 8 in US. Drug lag of almost 30 years exists.
2. People still think ADHD is a kids disorder and deny existence of adult ADHD. Even doctors and therapists.
3. Stigma of various forms is common in our society.
4. Psychiatrists only give depression diagnosis and ignore adult ADHD. It is highly underdiagnosed in India.
5. Adult ADHD gets disability status (in other countries) so patients can function better in society. We don’t.
The cost to society of untreated adult ADHD is huge. From road accidents to lost business to unemployment to lost lives.
Aim is to bring more awareness to adult ADHD patients’ rights and also public health costs of untreated adult ADHD.
So true, I have been to two psychiatrists in Bangalore today and they just gave it a depression angle when I'm fairly happy in life and obsessively indulging in self care. Please let me know if anyone has come across any good psychiatrist regarding the same.
How will u diagnose it's mix between autism, ocd and adhd
What medication is available in india
@@riasingh11 NIMHANS is probably your best bet in Bengaluru. Also try searching Google maps for "adult ADHD psychiatrist".
@@riasingh11 I do have an adult ADHD..I've found it by myself. How, did you find about your ADHD?
ADHD people will have a very tuff time reading long paras. You read 3 lines and completely forget what was there in the first line. Again restart. Read 5-6 lines, again forget the last sentence.
Sometimes you read an entire para (but mind is present somewhere else) and have absolutely no clue what you just read.
Anyone with me on this? Like/comment
absoltely true . i cannot read newspapers
Finally I don't feel alone
I face exactly the same problem 😔
That's me .
Did you find any solutions for this?
Yes, try Ashwagandha tablets.
To some extent it gives better focus and good sleep.
Recommend Kapiva only, others are fake
It's so hard to find enough understanding in our country towards such issues, it's sad. Thanks for putting out content on it
Those who are suffering they only can feel how terrible this disorder is
It was an honour to do this, not just because I got to speak about such an important aspect of my life but also because I got to play a part in this important conversation. To knowing ourselves, and taking it from there
Hello. I wont ask how are you because i can feel you. I also have adhd. Can you please guide me to go to which therapist or doctor you are consulting ? Its completely impossible now for me to function. And i have been to some doctors but they all are not accepting the fact i have adhd. Please help me. 🥺🥺🥺
@@mylifeiscrystalclear hii I wanna talk to you
@@Rk-fg1uvwhat medication
Thanks for sharing this with us. Any word of advice for someone who is trying to get a diagnosis, in Bengaluru or via Telehealth?
@@buzzedbrain be vv honest and don't feel like you have to fit in to stereotypes or symptoms. Remember that your experience is your own and it being subjective doesn't make it any less than that of others. Also, try and have a support system in touch with you; diagnoses get heavy.
ADHD brain is beautiful. You just have to know how to work with your brain. Ye mat socho kitna karna h aur kya pending h bas socho jitna hoga aaj ..utna kar lungi and you will be suprised on how much you will cover!! Dont decide targets for the day rather let yourself dive into whatever it is that you have to do without envisioning goals.
That fucked me up in the long term, because my interests keep switching from one thing to another
@@dingding4898 so yes, ADHD brain is creative and predisposed to think outside thr box and sadly exams expects discipline and repetitive behaviour over a duration and our brains, can't cope up. It will be difficult if u are a student. Are you studying for an exam? Never suppress ur creative brain, rather think how you can complete your task with supplemented creativity. To reduce hyperactivity and improve attention, brown noise is good, even Forest focus app helps, lemme if anything helped you. Will be glad to hear from you.
o1134 Preparing for IT interviews. I've accepted that Memorising stuff and doing repetitive tasks is impossible for me. And I am not able to gamify the tasks to complete them. It's hampering my life
@@dingding4898yes it's symptom.of adhd
Adhd brain is 100 brains in one , smart people
Psilocybin containing mushroom saved my life honestly from depression, anxiety and severe ADHD. 4 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
No doubts shrooms are 100% blessings from nature. Indeed nature's little miracles
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
Hey! Yes Mr.medmushies
Glad you made this video. Lot of undiagnosed ADHD people who know they have these symptoms can relate to this video and it's participants
This made me so emotional. It is even more difficult because for many people such diseases or disorders are a joke...they tell us it is all our imagination.
Thankyou for everyone involved in this video. Thankyou for noticing this disorder and trying to build awareness.
Hiii
This was really emotional video for me
Because
People rarely talk about about adhd in adults and how to deal with it
Their struggles and experiences were very similar to me
Hope
I could see more vides on this topic
Hello, thank you for watching our video. We'll definitely try to get more voices on ADHD. Please keep supporting our work :)
I'm mocked and made to be the butt of the joke pretty much everywhere due to my distractibility or my inability to stop thinking about a certain thing and be oblivious to ongoing conversation, the group will roast me to the point I couldn't stand up for myself anywhere.
I'm mostly distracted, or if something triggers thoughts about bitter past I'll be dissociated which made me quit several jobs due to be way they label me as stupid or joke about my attention. But if I were to brainstorm alone, in an interested topic then that's fine.
I told my friends, I'm good at building visual narratives even though they know I had to playback 20 seconds of movie every 5 mins due to my distraction. I built a game in godot in around 10 days, even though I used multiple tutorials and bugs, I was able to get the narrative good enough to convey something in a visually interactive manner.
I built incomplete and in urgency, with hopes they will understand I can do things but I need help regarding attention. All I got was how pathetic I was acting for validation from them, the game was ugly mess. Sure, only if I had enough time or less judgement calls with labelling me, I wouldn't have to prove myself to friends or feel unworthy at a job.
And the oldies(45+) are even worse, they're the ones justifying corporal punishment and there's no way to explain adhd to them.
Yov man. That is some real hard stuff right there. So yeah , how're things now, how're you holding up?
An important conversation done in such a tender and sincere manner. Proud of you all and your strength. (Especially my sweet buddy Anubhav, Love you ❤️)
Love you, too, dost, sm!
Also, pls2text kabhi, miss you XD
Much love and gratitute for all participants and The Quint to talk about this.
Hi, thank you so much for watching our video. We understand how important it is to initiate conversations around this, and since October is ADHD Awareness Month, it felt like the right time to share this. Keep supporting our work :)
Mental illness/disorders are curse . In most of the cases once a mentally ill person remain mentally ill throughout the life.
Always heartwarming to see more discourse on mental health and issues. Thanks for putting this out there!
Thank you for watching our video, we'll try to make more such videos in the future too :)
Even a few teenagers might have mild forms of it, but most of them find it out later, and might struggle to find help when their parents don't like the idea of their kids being "different" or "flawed" in some sense and going to a doctor for "correcting" the way their brains work.
Thank you for making this. It'd be great if you could make a video on good resources for diagnosis. It would be great if they could share details of their psychiatrists and therapists for diagnosis and treatment. It is very hard to find a good one and the search itself is a big hurdle towards working to find a solution for this. Please help.
Hi, thank you so much for watching our video. We understand how taxing the process of finding appropriate mental health resources can be. We'll definitely try to help in this regard. Keep supporting our work :)
@@garimasadhwani5391 Thank you! 😃
I have souch adhd that i saved this video to find a solution, and this is my 100000 time coming to this video and exiting this video just after 10 seconds , and lol i didnt even understand any of it..
Wouldn't it be so better, if we all could be part of a supporting community, where we all could cheer up and perhaps help each other? Share hacks to make life better and be sympathetic?
Even I had to scroll back this video again and again
It was a huge relief for me just knowing that it has a name, a neurological condition, (thanks to a video by Dr. Russell Brakley i came across) and not me as an individual.
Rejection Sensitivity means not even wanting to take an initiative towards any relationship (friends, family, colleagues anyone)
People say find a passion and you will have focus, i have so many interests and that too I can't keep up with. My never ending thoughts won't let me execute anything.
Work is tiring or overwhelming even though i am good at my job. Checking the sent email for the 5 th time knowing very well i have sent it.
Add overthinking, self criticism and all your time is gone and then i try to do things late in the day and struggle to get sleep.
I just feel great putting this out there.
I could hardly find any videos or content of ADHD in India. Hope there is more awareness, sensitivity on this
Thanks for making this video! 😢😭 I wish all of us can make a group and talk!

I got diagnosed few weeks ago., Can anyone suggest me methods to streamline my symptoms excluding medications?
When the chase got over the interest gets over thats happenend to me
Which doctor should I see for an ADHD diagnosis? I am 29 years old and believe I have ADHD symptoms. I procrastinate, frequently lose focus while reading or watching videos, zone out and have to re-read pages or rewind videos. I avoid social occasions and phone calls, even from siblings. I dislike being the center of attention and have trouble sleeping for long hours despite sleep deprivation. There may be other symptoms as well that I can't recall at the moment.
i am 27 year old and my symptoms are 100% same as yours. is there anyway to connect with you?
I don't know if I have it or not! I wish to get diagnosed ! How did you guys come to know ?
i suffered from executive dysfunction. where you plan a lot and execute zero. also procastination of important projects and then last minute pressurized style of working
@@RM-vd2ihThis is exactly my case.
I would run cold feet prior to exams . Deadlines give my anxiety and last minute pressure working leaves my dysfunctional for days
@@RM-vd2ih by not performing well at tasks, exam's preparation procastination
, Time mismanagement, unorganised work order all this
@@RM-vd2ih same!

How could i know that i have ADHD ??
Hi Pankaj, thank you for watching our video. You will have to consult a psychiatrist or a psychologist to get a diagnosis for ADHD. If you have any ADHD-like symptoms, you can reach out to professionals near you.
@@garimasadhwani5391 thanks
See a psychiatrist or psychologist. They will assess you for it.
I received my diagnosis yesterday. It turns out I have ADHD.
@@sbh0892not in india

Please can someone recommend a good psychiatrist for diagnosis in mumbai or other part of maharashtra. The ones I tried just label it as depression but I am not depressed I just dont get things done. I am relate with almost all symptoms and all videos or books out there about ADHD but docs in indian just dont accept that an Adult can have ADHD.

Hi, thank you for watching our video. We'll try to make such videos in Hindi too. For now, you can check out more of our Hindi work on Quint Hindi. Keep supporting our work :)
ADHD is a very exaggerated disorder!... Yes, you'll be much better able to function when on medications but it's nowhere near as disabling as Depression
Exaggerated??? Wtf r u talking abt mam??
ADHD is a life long struggle, due to Adhd u develop anxiety and depression. U can cure depression but ADHD ??
I'm was suffering from depression 2 years back , offcourse it's deadliest at its peak. But ADHD is a slow poison which kills ur soul everyday and u become depressed 🫥
