- This week, How to ADHD presents an incredible special guest -- Dr. Ned Hallowell!
Dr. Hallowell is a very busy man -- not only a leading ADHD expert, but a New York Times bestselling author who's written 20 books, many of them on ADHD.
But thanks to the generous support from our Patreon Brains, we were able to have someone film him in his New York office while chatted over Skype about living with ADHD, how to deal with the sensitivity to rejection that often comes with it, and the importance of connection.
You all ROCK.

I love working with Jessica. Let's do another video.... Comment on what you'd like to hear us discuss. Thanks for sharing this video too - it takes a village to learn how to strengthen our brakes!
Edward Hallowell, M.D. Thank you for what you do!
Thanks for the visit to the channel sir!!! Hope to see u more often!
Dr Hallowell. First let me say I love your name, it's a good name. Secondly thank you for your book, both books that I've read actually.
Driven To Distraction and
Answers To Distraction. I've read both repeatedly. I'm still lost in my undiagnosed ADHD brain. But your books have helped me immensely. I'm sorry if this rambles. I re wrote it 5 times
Edward Valentino.
Dr. Hallowell received money from pharmaceutical companies and promotes there drugs which are addictive and very harmful. do not trust him and his fake diagnosis. Apply non drug treatment and stay away from psychiatrists.
i dont see enough likes here so ill add one, i hope to find myself, my place in the world i call reality. thank you both. im 26 now and until recently i knew nothing about adhd even though i was diagnosed very early. no body i know would talk about it and i wasn't interested enough to ask. now that im older i have the need to understand in a frightening and ever changing world that i don't understand and that doesn't understand me. again thank you both for the opportunity to learn more about myself.
Omg, how did I make it 38 years without realising that I have ADHD, that I'm not just a procrastinating, impulsive, overly perceptive, ball of anger and frustration with time management issues! It's been less than a year since my diagnosis and I'm so happy to have found this channel! ❤️❤️❤️
@@middleagemoto got diagnosed at 45 oh how I wish that I knew sooner
I was diagnosed hyperactive in the early 80's. The doctor's prescription; "stop feeding him hot dogs, start feeding him coffee." I've known I had this condition basically my entire life, and somehow I never bothered to look into the research on it until 2021, about 4 decades after my diagnoses. As obvious as the benefits of understanding how my cognition differs from typical are, of how the condition effects not just my life, but those around me, not the least of which my loved ones, regardless how powerful an asset a better understanding of how to capitalize on my strengths, and mitigate my weaknesses obviously is, the subject somehow escaped my attention. Until now. I anticipate my focus on the subject bearing valuable fruit.
In a similar boat - aged 34. Congratulations on the ureaka moment!
Same here 38 when I was diagnosed. Everyday is a struggle.
how did I go for 50 years ? It's amazing we are even living!
"Having a dog really helps!"
*Looks around at my 3 giant dogs*
OoooOOoohhh...makes so much sense.
Yep!
I may have cried more than once watching this. Your videos inspired me to get tested for ADHD, and made me realize that I'm not a horrible person - my brain just works differently. So, thank you. Now that I know myself better, I can work on being better.
+MadamSneff awww! Thanks for commenting, that made my day. Welcome to the tribe
I couldn't agree more and I turned 40 last year and are just discovering my true diagnosis. And that I don't have to be ashamed of it
"Click all the things" could be a great ADHD tagline :D
+sillyfly I agree!
sillyfly "How to loose hours... Click all the things." I stumbled upon this channel by clicking on the things instead of cleaning my house. Turned out to be one of the best "getting lost" adventures of my life. Thanks a bazillion times infinity for making this channel, How To ADHD!
lol
The impostor syndrome makes my life so much harder. Thank you so much for this video, what you're doing helps a lot! :)
+Anna Nikitin same same. He's right though, gotta worry with the right people. Your tribe is here to support!
Klll
What is that? Impostor syndrome?
@@STEINYY Imposter syndrome is when you are successful and you think that success is due to luck, so you live in a constant feeling that you're a imposter and someday everybody will notice that and your lie will crash. But this feeling of being unworthy isn't real, because it comes from low self-steem, but it's present in people with great intelligence. It would be the opposite of dunning-krugger effect, where ignorants think they know everything and are always right when they know so little about a topic.
@@DianaWanMa omg, thank you for putting this into words that my scattered brain could never spit out trying to describe this to my husband. I just keep telling him “like how did I even get this position? Did they make a mistake? What if they realize I don’t deserve this much money!??”
When at the same time, my clients are emailing my managers and telling them how wonderful I am to work with. Imposter syndrome is such a frustrating thing!!! I worked my behind off to be where I am, why do I feel I don’t deserve it? It’s ridiculous. But my sister in law, who also has a PhD in Biochemistry (my brother does too), says she’s feels the same way! My brother on the other hand is perfectly confidant. But also humble. Ok I’m done rambling! Thank you for putting into words what I couldn’t! That’s what I really wanted to say. 🤦🏼♀️😊
I'm so glad I found this channel. I went to see someone about my anxiety and depression recently, but as it turns out, it's really all because of ADHD. I'm 22. I can't believe that's what it is but I can look back on my life and attribute about 90% of my hardships to having ADHD and not knowing it. I've failed and messed up SO MANY times in my life. As a teenager I watched all my friends graduate and move on to college while I stayed behind. And I had taught myself that I was destined for failure before I even tried anything new.
It's almost a little easier to believe that I'm dumb and lazy honestly, but that's probably because of my low self-esteem. It's such a huge relief to know I'm not alone, though. And that I'm not really a failure, I'm just someone who has been struggling with something that I didn't understand. You guys help me to understand. Thank you :)
Yadira Hunter lmao mate thats the exact same as me. im 22 and only got diagnosed this year. the reason ive always been so anxious and negative and depressed is because i have adhd. im different now :)
Yadira Hunter 36 and just got diagnosed. Hopefully, with diet and meds, I can finally finish some of the 9million projects I have going on, including my degree that I started 8 years ago and abandoned 6 years ago... 😂 Best of luck to you in your journey! Yay for finishing projects! I am seriously looking forward to releasing the anxiety of their burden, even if I just toss them into a fire. it'll be great and cleansing.
Even though I was diagnosed ten years ago (I'm 28 now) finding this channel helped me realize all the other issues besides school work that I struggled with my whole life.
Yadira Hunter I can totally relate hunny. This channel has really opened my eyes. Hmmm there's a pattern here.... I wonder how many other people there are that have struggled in the same way too and who have never known that they are not the only ones and that there is a reason behind how they feel?
I have a similar problem. My ADHD gives me anxiety and depression. But I also get anxiety and depression from my mom's side. I want to see a therapist to help me get out of this hell. But there are none in my area that I trust. They all seem nuts. This is all is so new yet so old to me that I feel like I'm going nuts. I am trying to build up my toolkit but it's a lot harder than I thought, and I thought it would be very hard.
Ugh! Impostor Syndrome! I have that with geology. I feel like I know nothing with my geology, but then when people ask me about Yellowstone or if California is going to fall off, I surprise myself with my answer because I can't believe I know so much. It doesn't feel real.
your impostor syndrome is what isn't real. The majority of "smart guys" out there know a lot less than they look. They just get great at hiding what they don't know and show what they know in a very fancy way. How you understand that there is a lot more to learn is what make you far better than any of them.
Lucas Lemos thank you. Geology is a tough subject and there's so many different paths to take in it. When some people, even the Ph.D ones claim they know it all, I call BS. Even some of my professors admit they understand their emphasis, but still have to study up on the other areas. I'm planning on going into natural disaster mitigation and earthquake research, hopefully in the Cascada Zone. Your words are kind and it reminds me that it's okay not to everything because at the end of the day, even experts need to research.
You are both humble and awesome. Thank you for making my day better by knowing that there are people like you out there : )
Lucas Lemos : )
Lucas Lemos I love people like you who acknowledge the great traits in others ☺️
Still feel this way. like any day my employer will realize they made a mistake in hiring me for my amazing job.
I've been there 13 years.
GIRLLLLLLL The moment you didn't miss a beat and asked about taking interdependence too far into codependency......I literally said out loud, "YES THAT!!!" #beenthere
I am SO PROUD of you. You're doing all the things! The Ted Talk, Vid Con, and all the interviews here on your channel. Thank you SO MUCH for helping people who experience or are touched by someone who experiences ADHD to find a community. Rather, a tribe :)
The doctor was awesome! The first thing I noticed is how humble he is about his accomplishments right as the interview started. He had some amazing things to say. Thank you for interviewing him!
And YOU, my friend, rock my face off.
I second that. Great comment. :)
“Rock my face off” - I like that! 😂 Great comment.
YAAAY everything is so good I'm glad you're getting recognition and get to work with amazing people yayyyy
+Floof right??? He's like, an ADHD superstar!
How to ADHD so are you !!!
Hey I just wanted you to know that I am currently an E.M.T. in Oklahoma and I couldn't of gotten my license if it wasn't for your help!!! I actually was diagnosed by trying to get my license about a year ago and with no one to help I turned to RUclips and found your videos that helped me study for the insane national test!!! So I guess I'm saying thank you!!!
“This is what the world needs now, where you can feel safe enough to be real, safe enough to be vulnerable.” Amen to that. I agree with Jessica that *so much healing* comes from finding people who have the same struggles as you, and are willing to talk frankly about them.
Roses are red,
Violets are red,
Daisies are red,
Bushes are red,
My garden is on fire again...
Just a nice joke to brighten your day.😂
Just An Artist With A Uke What about squirrels?!
george g. YUS THE SQUIRRELS ARE RED AS WELL.
Just An Artist With A Uke Lmfao AWSOME!
Hilarious!!! Love it!
Driven from Distraction changed my life. After reading it, I was diagnosed with ADHD!
I can see why he means so much to you. He seems very genuine. He was not afraid to plunge right in and say how, despite being successful, he still struggles daily, especially with the emotional side of ADHD. I might consider reading some of his work. I finally have an introductory psychiatric appointment on July 31st. Aside from being re-diagnosed as an adult I've never received any help or counselling. I've just dealt.
Sounds like RSD (Rejection sensitive dysphoria) was mentioned, its really common among us ADHD'ers. There is heaps of stuff on Tumblr that helped me learn about it and feel better about things :)
Hi, yes, I just googled RSD thanks to your comment, and between reading a few articles on it and the contents of the video itself, I feel like I just gained insight into 40% of my personality that didn't fit into my previous understanding of ADHD. I feel like I'm having an epiphany. Oh my gosh, thank you.
No problem :)
Happy to be of help, signal boost it so others can find out too!
Ohmygosh thanks! I didn't know this was a term so it's great to have the language to describe it - some bits seem similar to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) but many of us have that rejection sensitivity without having BPD.
I am a 50 year old who has had ADHD since early childhood. I want to thank you for this channel I first saw you on Ted and when you were about to cry I cried with you... I only wish there was this much support from others was around when I was a child... thank you
Hello Jessica, Thank you so much for interviewing Dr. Hallowell. Fantastic!
You both are such inspiring people. I just got test and found I'm ADHD too. It's been a struggle but your videos keep me upbeat and encouraged. Thank for posting even tho it's late.
+Josie Potter aww welcome to the tribe!! Getting diagnosed can be a rollercoaster of emotions, *hugs* if you need em
How to ADHD thank you very much. Hugs are always needed!
You did a TED talk?! Ohmygosh that's amazing!! I'm so proud of you! You go girl ;) Can't wait for next week I love these special guests
I've never felt so understood in my life. Thank you for all you do! I love your channel!
hey I discovered your videos recently and I'm amazed to see how similar I am to people like you, especially considering I've always felt like I was in my own little world. thank you for doing such great work. your videos help a lot
+Liam Sullivan I know isn't it funny? I used to feel so awkward and weird, turns out there's a bunch of us who work this way!
Liam Sullivan I second that.
Yeah same!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah same!!!!!
I'm so grateful for this channel. Thank you.
“Tend to fall for trainwrecks.” I think I can honestly say it took a lot of those to finally get to my wife. I just never understood why I kept falling for these same time of personalities and why I continued to let myself get pulled down by these relationships.
Thank you for this interview. Everything is starting to make sense now
I love your channel so much. I don't feel alone when I watch this. Thank you so much!
I can't wait until the next episode! Thank you for the effort! It means a lot! 😃
Thank you for this! I'm TOTALLY sharing this in Facebook!
I can't stop crying watching this. It's so affirming. Thank you so much.
Thank you for all you do, this channel has been my go to source after my adhd diagnosis!
The best channel, Great editing for our brains & changing lives! Just ❤️ you & your channel.
" i dont see it as a disorder, i see it as a trait - and if you manage it properly, its an asset"
great perspective
I just found you and am very grateful already. Thanks for doing these videos. I anxiously anticipate the next in the series with the doc
This is incredible. Thank you for this channel!
You hit 100K! I'm so excited for you both! I've been watching you for a while and you deserve all the success in the world. You have made me feel way less alone in the world with my struggles and I'm so happy that more people are realizing how awesome the Brain community is
The part about focus on rejection and having intuition into people really hit the nail on the head. Your channel has changed my life and I am going to go to psychiatrist and get diagnosed. Thank you!!!!
Spectacular job, as usual, Jessica. Congratulations on what I know is a watershed moment for you. I'm so happy for you!
You can see the care, dedication and compassion in Jessica's smile and in her eyes. She has power and care in the twinkle in her eyes.
Key phrase of my day today, "effectively interdependent." So true. We all need to start getting to know our neighbors and cashiers at our local stores again. How would we feed ourselves if no-one was behind the local deli counter? We all need each other.
These videos always make me feel so much better
Thank you for this channel ❣️
Your videos are changing my life and I'm so glad I came across with them. Whether it's just helpful tips, gaining general knowledge, or just knowing I'm not alone, your channel has helped in so many ways. Thanks so much fellow brain :)
Pretty much the only thing I struggle with about ADHD is how some of us can be developmentally behind a few years, mentally speaking. Sometimes I start beating myself up, thinking that I can't be a functioning adult if I'm so childish, but seeing successful people like you and Dr. Hallowell really helps. Thanks a million!
i sooo love the way he discribes adhd. Makes me feel good about myself the way it should be.
I am so so so grateful for your channel. I am not alone. You are saving lives!
Thank you very much for your content. You truly do a lot of good with your work and it definitely helps. I have learned more about myself that I wish I would have learned earlier in my very young life. It has definitely added perspective and I want to thank you again for all that you do.
One of the cutest most huggable persons I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you for your generosity.
So happy for new video!! Been trying many other ADHD channels, but for some reason yours is the only one I can connect with. Looking forward to more videos!
This is so great! Thank you!
Instantly clicked like, even though i haven't watched.
Thanks for creating great contents.
Your videos are helping me to understand myself better!
Thank you so much for this channel, I feel like this is an amazing fit to my problems
He is such a great guy and you guys make such a great team. Thanks for all
I’m so glad I found this channel. I’m looking forward to getting to meet with a psychiatrist again next week after not being on meds for over 25 years. You folks are making it look half assed sane to be on meds again.
You are amazing!! So happy I found this channel
YAY!
Thanks so much for all your help for us fellow brains.
+No thanks for watching and commenting! It keeps me going :D
This was awesome! I can't wait to see the next video!
You are doing such amazing work!
This has lifted me up. I adore you and Dr Halliwels book made me realise I need to get diagnosed. And I did. At 27. There's so much connection and love in this video. Thank you so much
This channel has opened up my eyes to something I have and realised the pros about it and my personality
I'ts truly relieving for me when i can listen and and connect to someone that can relate to what life feels like for me 100% of the time. thank you friend ( :
What a treat to see you having Dr. Hallowell on the show! I got dx'd in my mid to early 30's with ADHD and his book (actually, I think it was the book on tape) was the 1st one I found that was SOOOO helpful!! I'm jumping over to Part 2 now!
Thank you, Dr. Hallowell. You are an amazing person.
Thank you. Thank you for everything.
I love what you're doing! Your energy is so infectious :D
I was diagnosed as an adult. Thank you thank you thank you for this channel!
Your channel is amazing. I look up to you ya know. I currently take medication for ADHD and have only just started posting my experiences, but watching your videos pretty much sums up everything!
I went to him when I was twelve and he told me to never worry alone. That advice has helped me a lot
My whole life in a video with all of the extreme struggles of this 2017 year. I turned 30 this past June and I'm only now researching all about ADHD. Because of your channel, I now know why I function the way I do and why I have had all of the struggles I have had.
Thank you so very much for all of your videos. They are helping me to get my life back together to finish my degree so that I can eventually have a dog.
Thank you
listening to his books in audible has been so helpful in understanding many other aspect of ADHD. And helps pass time during long boring road trips.
I'm 35 and I'm still so blown away by your channel! You are amazing! I always say if my kids could see themselves the way others do they'd spew confidence. There's even a part of me that totally wants to be your best friend.
Honestly you've inspired me to get help. Ive just had my 3rd baby and realized as my 8 year old son grows up I need to help me just like I'm helping him with o t and speech and therapy
If only my mother had the same information at her finger tips so many people would be better off.
I stumbled across this channel by accident and was mesmerized the first time. Ive sent your videos to all my family.
Ive told my niece a million times I think I have ADHD
My sons dad does but doesn't get treatment and he's a mess so I really hope that when I sent him your video he will connect with your info like I did.
Add was always a joke....the way my niece and I jump around a million subjects at once.
Is ADHD a family thing?
Is it hereditary?
Anyway thank you for your videos!
You are the inspiration I wish I had as a teen I'd have been a scholar lol instead I barely graduated
❤️😊
Crying within one minute of the start of this video. Thanks for posting this even if I am only coming across it now:)
Sensational interview👏🎉💯 thank you
Thanks for this channel. It made everybody around me better understand me. I can't put a price on such a thing.
As a fellow female with ADD (diagnosed in 2nd grade!) I LOVE your channel! I have learned so much from you and it is good to share a kinship with fellow brains :)
OMG! I thought I was just going crazy but I think I've probably just got adhd. Thank you for starting this channel. Your videos have really been informative and I have started to understand myself so much more. I'm 40 by the way and have struggled to understand why I feel how I do for years! Dr Hallowell has a really good way of explaining adhd, he's awesome, as are you Jess x
This was very helpful! Thank you, Jessica! =)
This interview was amazing! I really enjoyed his book Delivered from Distraction.
OMG just found your channel -I love it! Thank you so much for doing what you do.
Wow. What a beautiful way to highlight both the empathy / insight, and also caution about the same trait's inclination to fall for users and abusers. Such a positive framing.
Glad to hear you guys made it home safely! Great video :)
Oh, the generosity! I recognize that in my daughter.
This was an incredible video to watch. I have felt so disconnected to everyone and everything throughout my life. Finally at the age of 31 I’ve got diagnosed with adhd. Now, I’ve Finally found people who think and talk like me and it’s the best medicine possible.
I have had this diagnosis for better than a decade. Jessica, you have pointed me to great resources using your research. Thank you.
Thank-you, this video made me feel so much less alone!
SO PROUD!!!! Love you, guys!
can't wait for the next episode! as i feel i have found that right job field but need to know fully if it is something i can dedicate 40 years of my life to! as always thanks for all you do Jess, it makes me understand me more and have that passion to chase a diagnosis even more!
Before I started watching these videos, I didn't know how I would survive college. But now since I started watching these videos, when doctors diagnosed me with a learning deficit, I am feeling confident that I will be able to truly make it in this world. Thanks in part to your channel and the confidence it gave me to get help in things like my work and everyday tasks. Thank you so much keep researching! Even though my deficit is not ADHD, these still help me because part of my deficit is inattentive behavior. Thank you for these videos.
We always have to deal with these challenges. We always have emotional problems, poor sense of time, anxiety attacks before important deadlines, mood swings and a lot of problems. The most important point of your videos is that we are not alone, there is nothing about us to shame or be depressed. We just have to accept and know ourselves to make better decisions and enjoy more from the life.
I honestly thought a lot of the intuition and worrying was just in my brain and that I was just imagining that I was giving more to others than I was getting but knowing that it's characteristic of ADHD, it really helps me understand that I'm not alone and that I'm not just imagining these things. They're actually happening and I'm not alone in my perceptions, thank you, this video was super helpful
First time I have seen Dr Hallowell in person and hes so sweet!!! I love him!!!
I greatly enjoyed this guest speaker. I'll be checking out his books.
I am so glad I saw this!
He is amazing. I shared this with my 2 best supports. My husband and my bff supervisor. Thank you God for all of my fellow Brains. I love you all. I don't feel so alone anymore.
For so long I was trying to convince people, perhaps convince myself, that there wasn't something wrong With me. That I wasn't Just lazy or unfocused, And now I see it see it. We were made this way for a reason! The interesting creative intelligent person syndrome. We have abilities other people don't have. I never gave myself permission to make mistakes before, I needed to be perfect to prove that I didn't have something amiss with me. Your channel has helped me see it is all right to make mistakes, it's, that failure doesn't mean you are a failure. Thank God for your channel Jessica! Thank God! Whether you realize it or not, God is using you to do great things! Heart
Just.. THANK YOU.
Thank you for posting this, for doing what you do and for making me feel less alone and more comfortable with myself :3
THANK YOU!
thank you so much!!
The need to work sounded like me after I got out of the service. It was hard. In that time, I got my diagnosis and the meds help. Thank you for doing this.
Again, *SOOO* much overlap with complex PTSD. Hearing personal anecdote and different learned understandings of trait similarities with my own chronic issues gives me a much deeper understanding than I could ever have had I stuck with PTSD literature only. As he said, you are doing a good thing. So is he. Thank you, both of you.
It's great that their are people who are people who are speaking out about the positive aspects about ADHD instead just stating the negative aspects. As many of us, ADHD brains see it as a burden when diagnosed. Thank you!!!
