5 Defining Symptoms of ADD
Although not everyone with ADD exhibits quite the same behavior, there are 5 hallmark symptoms attributed to attention deficit disorder. Do you have any of these symptoms? In the first episode of a series on subtyping the 7 different types of ADD, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen dive deep into an analysis of exactly what defines someone with ADD.
The Common Characteristics of Classic ADD
Dr. Daniel Amen changed the way he treated his patients when he discovered that there are several different types of ADD, all with distinctive symptoms and in need of their own particular treatment plan. Through his work in SPECT imaging, he went on to categorize 7 different types of Attention Deficit Disorders. In this episode of The Brain Warrior’s Way Podcast, Daniel and Tana discuss the most signifying traits present in the Classic form of ADD.
What’s the Difference Between Inattentive ADD & Overfocused ADD?
In continuation of a series on defining the 7 types of ADD, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen discuss the symptoms and characteristics of Inattentive ADD and Overfocused ADD. Knowing exactly which type of ADD is crucial to help you determine the appropriate treatment and interventions to make. The Amens help you to evaluate whether you or your child has these types of ADD, and if so, what to do about it.
In the last episode of a series on identifying and treating the 7 different types of ADD, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen wrap up the discussion by describing the final 4 types of ADD: Temporal Lobe ADD, Limbic ADD, Ring of Fire ADD, and Anxious ADD. They also give you tips for how to properly treat someone who suffers from each one of these ADD types..

I do exactly what she does. You're excited with a conversation so you interrupt. Especially when you feel they're talking too slow and not getting to the point quick enough. You notice it in others right away but don't notice it with yourself right away.
Soooooo true💕
@@addictiveillusions5667 Just because someone lacks the discipline to hold themselves politely, while in a conversation.
Does not make it right to co- sign adult/ child behavior. Core issue work needed here. Sell your brand to someone else.
He is PAUSED and PUNCTUAL. He does very good having a person going too fast, talking too much, interrupting and competing. She seems very cute but sadly needs better treatment.
It’s suuuch a bad habit I am trying to break! I think it’s bc I also fear I’ll forget my thought if I want so I subconsciously blurt it out before thinking and slowing down
Omg. Listening to him is so painful for me. I was internally begging her to interrupt him. I usually speed up videos, but couldn't because to get him on a fast enough speed, I couldn't quite follow her lol.
God bless his patience with her☺
Yes, I admire his patience.
@Jeffrey Justin he must have bags of valium
@Jeffrey Justin 🤣
She is so cute.
9:20, 11:25
The way she interrupts him is so relatable 😂 he’s quite patient too.
13:28 when she stopped talking and started to touch her hair is the moment I’m sure she was somewhere else 😂
Dr amen is a stand up man .... his patience and understanding is almost like its meant to be. hes a very gifted man
Yes indeed, God Bless his patience because I couldn’t watch the video. I was yelling at the screen for her to let him talk.
She reminds me so much of me in my younger years. Fortunately, through meditation and years of working with therapist and coaches I’ve calmed down significantly. It was challenging to watch, I’ll be honest. I get it though…She is hyper focused on her own inner healing and this is why I believe she continually brings it back to herself.
S slow and sorry
I had to pause the video at 10 minutes to read the comments and validate my distaste for her constant interruptions. I have ADHD and staying focused on Dr. Amen was physically painful.
I did watch through the whole video and I feel it was gold info, thank you so much both for doing this... A little advice on video making, please flatten out your audio waves when you're doing video editing, cuz it startled me every time the lady spoke, the audio came in to fast and too loud.
@@NoIntroTutorials i felt same, she sounds too loud, too fast, and too much words. he is more paused, gentle and precise.
I did the same thing.
Omg 😳 very annoying, I felt the same way
I felt the same way😩
I like how he is talking to her. Like I talk to my ADHD son;))) Lovingly ignoring all the distractive nonsense and drama that she says and continuing my speech 😂
Yes! I'm seeing that too. And learning!
I admire his patience
I am really interested in the content of this video, but her interruptions and tangents make it almost impossible to get through this video 🙄 I would love a video with JUST THE DOCTOR.
I love that this is about ADD and she's ADD. Gives the perfect example.
Dr. Amen, you’re describing my childhood. (Your wife’s childhood)
I have ADD.
Went to school to age 13.
I’m quite intelligent I have to admit and I can’t be modest right now. 🙈
Now I can study. I love to study but on my own.
I’m a therapist now, actually a coach. But I help people heal and empower them.
Without the broken home and without ADD, I would have gone to university.
Now I’m 56. I don’t want university.
Because I have created my own succes.
I am specialized in personality disorders and trauma.
It’s unbelievable how life can happen!
Crazy the amount of people slamming Tana for interrupting, yet they expect others to ‘accept’ them. Sometimes people with ADHD are the least accepting of others with the same condition. Interrupting is a symptom, have some compassion.
Yes, it takes ALOT of patience to deal with add. And we don't have it as much or with some people...
Yes it's difficult for them not to interrupt and at the same time it is difficult to hear and concentrate on Dr Amen's teaching
They should be slamming him for talking so.. sslowww. How can your mind not wander off?
We r disable tana is not discipline
Come on guys, we don’t need to rip on her so much. If you like the man, you don’t need to be so harsh on the woman he loves.
And her points are useful and logical. Her lived experience is so valuable and it is so disheartening to read people malign her without trying to understand. This is why we have to mask and hide ourselves and why we come to resent people with these attitudes.
Self esteem is actually the difference of where your believe your potential is and where you are. Wow... just wow.
lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who was annoyed by how often she was cutting him off. my mom does the exact same thing whenever I talk to her and it drives me up the wall.
Wow- this knowledge should be made known among teachers, therapists, doctors.... in our country! I wish I knew when I was young (because of my own story!), but thanks God I know now- it feels like a rehabilitation!!! Thanks for your work! I wish I could fly to the US and get my and my son‘s brain scanned🙏
I'm 15 and I have ADD and tbh let the doctor dude talk.
This is incredible information, but how could I pay money to people who can’t see how badly she has ADD? She makes me want to RUN. If she can’t accept or discuss her own ADD without such denial , why would I take a course ON THIS SUBJECT from her. She is Not helping. I’ve left here and gone to website but Oh my lord she’s involved in all of it. They need to take a serious look at what a detriment it might be for many.
I’m DESPERATELY trying to listen to the Doctor to try and glean out information, AND SHE WONT SHUT UP.
To cut off others while speaking is for sure ADD signature 😂
I really appreciate these discussions as ADD runs in our family. You have touted the brain scan as an excellent way to style in the diagnosis. What I want to know is how are you getting these brain scans done there is nothing but resistance in the healthcare industry to paying for this
I love this episode. Because she proves what he is saying. ADD is a huge spectrum. Also,she demonstrates opportunities for ADD people. Yes, she was annoying… initially. But I loved the “proof is in the pudding” demonstration. Excellent!,,
He’s telling her she has a subtype of ADD called Anxious ADD. She won’t accept it. I have ADD. I recognized it immediately.
9:03 this is why i managed to get my highschool teachers to let me listen to music in class when we had to do work modules. it worked. i only got diagnosed with adhd 6 weeks ago, i'm 41.
You were lucky to have that teacher! The only way I can hope to get anything done, like pay bills, phone calls, organizing papers etc is to put my headphones on and listen to my favorite music...loud! Before i know it I am getting things done then i feel happy!
Glad your intelligence was able to ease the misplaced focus, we all suffer.
It's so funny and annoying how she keeps interjecting/interrupting him and he even says people with ADD will interrupt you and she smiles and nods LOL God bless him he's very patient with her and gets things back on track. But I did have to keep rewinding often because I kept loosing track of which type ADD they were discussing! Has anyone done the course? $99 I'm on the fence.
And I had to speed up the video because he talks so slow and pendantic.
I have ADD, and this women needs to just stop talking. I'm trying to listen to what he's talking about. And shes being completely inappropriate and annoying.
I am at 3:27 mins in and had to stop to see who this woman is. Is this his wife?
Yep! He put a ring on it!
unlucky
who done her hair lego .... lol
Zebedee Rotten I disagree. She is proof that someone with adhd and anxiety can live a meaningful and successful life. She is lovely and she puts up with issues he has just as much he puts up with issues she has . She is a gracious woman not spouting everything out about him while he does talk about her issues publicly . She is right about him sometimes saying some off the wall things that aren’t necessary or appropriate. I keep up with a lot of their podcasts and videos. We don’t see half of what they deal with and work though together behind the scenes but the point is- they don’t give up and are still together , and because of that, they are a ministry and an example . Two imperfect people are doing their best to love each other and help others with unique and difficult challenges have better lives and relationships too. Both of them appear try to be as real as possible on camera.
That’s a lot . I don’t think Dr. Amen or Tana are unlucky. They are blessed and fortunate .
To each his own with hair style preference btw, if you don’t like it , you don’t like it. You know the saying- one mans trash another mans treasure . She is his treasure, not yours. Obviously for very good reasons .
April Adler I see what you are saying and it’s funny because it used to be the other way around. He’d do all talking and she couldn’t get a word in edgewise . They are trying to work on this I can tell . Maybe it will get better .
OMGGGG The interuptions of Tana. I can't even follow this. Please medicate her!
😦🤣
Her plot is to have him notice and give her a discount on the treatment
She's not a professional interviewer
😁😁😁😁😁
I get frustrated at her cutting his off everytime, but in fact, I do this a lot 😂. So do I have to find a man that had this level of patience as him? 😂
In my experience YES lol
Lol
Everyone is talking about her interrupting but she is actively trying to listen and doing her best. It's not something she does intentionally
He talks sooo slow. And pauses so much. It's soo exhausting. I would like it if he engaged with her more while she's talking, instead of just waiting for her to finish so he can continue his lecture.
Shut up she she is doing trash n u r justifying trash
I think it’s great to have someone with ADHD that he life’s so that people can see what it can really look like to mentally dance with people like us. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Full disclosure, I have ADHD, and this was difficult for me to watch. If I pretend she’s playing a character in a dramatization, it’s not as irritating.
You two are a sweet, grace giving couple, fun, real, AND the honest interaction helps us learn!🧡💙💚❤💜💜
Thank you, thank you!
I realized mine with our sons diagnosis, exactly as you said.
I hate interrupting people and being late. I’m 61 and still fight it. I don’t like drugs and they don’t agree with me but now I see why my body live rhodiola, ginseng and L-tyrosine. I need to get back on them ASAP.
I’ve learned lots of great coping skills, I’m a much better listener but I still need improvement. It makes me feel better to think that I’m not just a rude person but having impulse control which makes me sad. But this isn’t hopelessness on my part at all. I was married to an ISTJ (I’m an ENFP) and he taught me SO much about time management and organization. I’m so grateful. Im different in that I despise drama and fighting and perhaps because I’m a middle child as well, but I work for peace. I don’t do the typical “shocking” things, I’m very empathetic and respectful. One thing that really helped me was realizing that I wanted to respect those around me and though I have my own weaknesses, my desire to be a cooperative and functioning member of my “group”…
I’m definitely not a classic case and have a complex personality (in a good way) with a little of all of these so it’s been harder to pin down what was amiss but I’ve finally gotten to understand myself better. I take all of the supplements that you mentioned (5HTP,tyrosine,rhodiola,ginseng) and figured out that my body suffers if I don’t have a little (organic/raw) dairy and carbs. I’d so like to get a brain scan but funds are an issue.
I’ve been able to function well because of getting kind information from the likes of you and applying it in my life! I wish my son could get a brain scan because I think he’s a mix of the rage one…😒
Thanks again!
It’s not just the constant interrupting; it’s the barking/shouting machine-gun communication style. I’m exhausted!
You two are doing great work!
Unfortunately, I can't keep watching. Too much interruption
Exactly
that’s the adhd 😅 I interrupt too
I so much enjoyed and learned a lot from Dr. Amen, but unfortunately his wife keep interrupting and deviate the point of conversation. That’s so unfortunate, I just felt he is sharing an amazing clinical research results, but unfortunately it was very hard to follow due to her constant interruption and questions and story telling !
“If I don’t say what I am thinking I am going to forget it” that’s my husband classic ADD
It's true. We'll forget it. Whch would not be an issue, but we will remember it randomly later on and it will drive us crazy that we didn't tell you. So it's easier to just blurt it out right away. Lol
Mine too. If someone asks me to repeat what I said it is generally gone
Dude I swear if she interrupts him one more time I-
Ruins the interview.
What's up with the constant interruptions by Tana,,,,, impulse control issue or what? Makes it difficult to stay on track with what the good doctor is saying. 11:32 exactly! LOL.
I have learned so much from you throughout many years. This program, with the 2 of you was excellent as well. Thank you. 🙄
I’ve tried to finish this 18 times
HUGE HUGE respect for both of you for what you do. But, it was very stressful to watch and focus with the interruptions. lol at the same time I get it because I’ve been the same way
She interrups a lot
Thank you! You have taught me so much and I have shared your videos a lot!
I love Tana her questions and commentary really keep the discussion going and hit points that listerners might be wondering themselves. I'm glad go see a woman with adhd speak. Dr. A and Tana are a really cute couple.
I diagnosed myself when my Psych professor was giving a similar explanation of the 1st type that girls are usually under diagnosed. I raised my hand and told him he was describing me.
Excellent information. Thank you so much.
I'm a fan of both ❤ I'm surprised to see her interrupting so much. That would drive me crazy. Hard to see because I want to learn from what he is saying. Wow. Sad. 😢😢😢😢😢 my sister does that to me. I've stopped calling often. Can't handle it.
I love this they're great together
So good to watch and listen again. Thank you ❤
ADHD individuals usually seem extremely smart... of course not all... so they do seem to be very successful in life. We usually use our ADHD to our advantage and create skill sets around our behavior/personality.
But in regards to Dr. Amen's wife, Tana, her ADHD interruptions definitely distracted me...a 71 yo ADHD female, to attempt to listen and learn about the different types of ADHD. That said, if this episode was to teach us about ADHD types... and not to be "entertained " by a husband/wife comedy team... I truly didn't learn about the types. I am disappointed. 😢
Definitely she has something, she does not let him talk 😮
I have to stimulate myself with chewing/eating/sugar to keep my focus. But I am also too anxious from that type of food, and need to calm myself down. 😤
Excellent show!! Keep up the great work!!!👍❤
So helpful. Thank you!
I had terrible side effects from three meds. My natural Dr put me on a higher dose of DHA and phosphatidalserine. Works just as well as the meds, without the side effects. Not really knocking drugs, but there are other options that work. I've had a traumatic back injury, but I did notice that I had less hyperactivity when I was able to run. It didn't help my crazy brain though. I'm far more interested in balance in my life.. so the suggestion here to over-exercise is a silly idea imo. There's something wrong with the obsession with weight, food, and exercise in the world. That's why the eating disorder numbers have spiked.
Also, the "how to AdHD" RUclips channel has amazing coping strategies. Highly recommended. She struggles greatly as well. That combined with her excellent research is why I feel that she has a much more well-rounded understanding of this issue.
how much DHA and phosphatidalserine were you taking?
Why din't you do bite sized videos short enough to by good for people who have ADD?
I need the list of 7 and time markers. I'll never make it through all this with her babbling and hair arranging. Poor thing
Tana, some of us with ADHD DO care. It’s like he said, we don’t see it.
“I don’t want to do it” sounds like RDS
I think she was great. What awesome people. Many thanks
Thank you!
I love the story of her mom, and its true.. i have a friend that had issues and she started her own business. Not everybody fits in when you have issues or add.. but those same people have talents.
What can you do about head trauma? I fell off the top bunk bead when I was about 6 and had concussion. As an adult I have depression, anxiety and ADD.
Omg I love you to thank you so much for your podcast loving this all the way in england. I'm having to wait 2 years for a diagnosis due to the waiting list here! I cant afford private but my son has just been diagnosed. I've lost a business because of my impulsivity and believe I would still have my business if I had the help I needed to understand and manage it. Thank you so much for all of this.
P.s i could tell instantly how much you love each other, the way you look at each other 😍 it's all in the eyes. X
I haven’t watched the video yet but judging by the comments, Tana is on one
I believe my whole family has this because they’re all always picking out what each other does wrong, and we learned from my mother and my father; they both constantly picked out what we were doing wrong, and I being the youngest noticed at all… now I believe one of my sons has it also..
I go tomorrow hopefully get the help i so desperately need
My 9yo son sounds like Jarret 😢
We just drove to the Amen Clinic in Atlanta to have his scans done. To me it looks like he has Over-focused ADD as well as the Ring of Fire. I have OCD myself, and my sons maternal grandpa (my dad) was a drug addict and criminal who died by suicide overdose.
Our results appointment isn’t until June 28th because there is only one child psychologist at the Atlanta Amen Clinic location, but we need help NOW! Is there anything I can do to get a jumpstart on my son’s treatment? Any advice is so greatly appreciated Dr. Amen, thank you so much for what you do. So wonderful to finally have some HOPE after all these years
Doing the exact same thing everyday is like slow death for me. I HATE tags on my clothing or rugs even! Easily distracted, Impulsive, Spontaneous, Procrastination is probably putting me homeless soon. I have to wait 6 more days to see therapist/psychiatrist. I am TERRIFIED they are just going to put me on anti-depressants!!!!!!!!!!
Dr ont take pharma drugs ever
I DIDN'T KNOW I HAD ADHD AND WAS HOOKED ON DRUGS FOR A LONG TIME. NO ONE UNDERSTOOD ME WHEN I TOLD THEM I FELT NORMAL ON THEM AND IT EXPLAINS HOW I KEPT JOBS AND OTHER THINGS UNDER CONTROL TILL IT GOT OUT OF HAND BECAUSE OF COURSE THATS WHAT DRUGS DO. NOW IM ON A MAINTENANCE PROGRAM AND UNDER CONTROL
No, “all of us” do not have “ADHD moments” and a heads-up, most neurodiverse people I know find that type of comment off-putting as it is trivializing. That would be like saying, “Oh, I have MS moments” referring to tripping on something. Please don’t use disabilities as a means to describe non-disabled people’s non-disabling traits. He clarified that, but I want you to know from the neurodiverse community’s common take on those comments, me included.
Wish there were time codes to all the types. I mainly want to learn about Limbic ADD which is what I have.
Here is more information on Limbic ADD: www.amenclinics.com/blog/when-depression-add-intersect-week-5-of-7-limbic-add/
Watching this with ADHD, it's like a recovering addict going to a drug party. This woman triggers my shame, my disappointment, my knowledge that I struggle every day with impulse control and blurting, and she is revelling in it and seems entirely untreated. Her behavior indicates that I will never watch another video from these people.
G Man it ain’t t that bad
🤣😂
i highly disagree with that last statement, this man is a very very intellectual man on ADD / ADHD if you really want help I recommend listening to what this guy has to say. You can get over the chick for one video bud
Nah, she's intelligent, fast at process information and can talk as fast as she thinks. If she was talking about irrelevant stuff then it might be different.
@@rubyblu21 wholeheartedly agree
My whole life and relationships make sense now. My mind is blown
Do some ADD brains make the connection between stimulation and anxiety, creating an anxiety disorder that supplies constant stimulation.
I am finding that as I tackle my anxiety, my ADD seems to become more prominent, that hyperactive energy / jitteriness.
Omg lol she needs to stop and just let him explain 😂
I’m adopting you two as my parents 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would be interested in watching a definition of the archetypes by Dr. Amen without this woman involved.
ruclips.net/video/UWnJ4wjVu9k/видео.html
This is his wife with him on the show and in his practice.
Very helpful video on ADD
I love her energy. He speaks sooo sloowlyy... 1.5x speed helps.
Americans are impatient.
Omg exactly... so slow.. I usually have to watch people on 1.5. but I don't need to speed her up. Love her.
@@SomeLittleShoe this is literally a video about a disorder where people process information faster than other people. Do you not realize how clueless you sound!
See to much, hear too much, busy mind, listen to music while studying, sensitivity to light, foods, noise, seams and elasticated wast bands, well meaning but diisorganised, interrupting, interrupting. One of my soothing methods is swimming in the sea daily all year round.
Some of these symptoms are also attributed to CPTSD but looking back some of the things I was punished for were symptoms i. e. interrupting (bright ideas, can't wait to share otherwise I'll forget,) fixated on things.
TANA!! CALM DOWN!!
loved this lecture!! It should be a criminal offense to allow regular MD's and even professional psychiatrists to "practice" on people that trust in their professional training to ruin peoples lives by intuitively prescribing the wrong medications!
❤ 15 minutes in so far...
Not sure if she’s anxious add or has a personality disorder. Anyway his knowledge is amazing
She enjoys her husband's company and seems to forget at times that it is a podcast. It is forgivable and essence of the story is there.
i am disappointed with all the people complaining below.
Why does she have to sit there? She interrupts him in an annoying way.
He is a patient Man
Idk I’m 10 minutes in and I’m super entertained
I hate people interrupting during a conversation
Tonight on Tucker Carlson’s show, he spoke about several mass murderers and the fact hat several were being prescribed anti-depressants such as Zoloft or Prozac. He also cited the increases we are seeing in suicides among young people, many of hen also being treated with these drugs. Apparently these drugs have some very serious side effects including increased anger.
The facts he cited were shocking. I was wondering if you ever saw the numbers he talked about? Knowing your background as a physician, I hought you would find the connection very interesting and if you knew about it, perhaps you might want to look into it and perhaps find a way to slow the prescribing of these drugs at least until more details are examined.
How to deside if it is ADD or NPD or both? NPD persons brain scan is different from ADD brain?
Is blood flow to the brain 🧠 dispersed, in these regions at a constant ?
He's a saint!
Opinions about being on ahdh meds and being angry all the time?
When you go the double length route to avoid traffic, even though it takes longer.
I can relate to most of what they both are describing ADHD
Came to this to get clarity on my own ADD. HOWEVER, clearly she has ADD because 32min in and I’m yet to hear anything new or not related to the couples experiences.
I am 65 and when I was a child always had an A first report card second a B or C and third and 4th
A D or F…it never got better. Years later became an engineer and had a very successful career but 3 failed marriages. … when I was 40 was diagnosed with Asperger’s. Due to cough syncopy had lots of head trauma. Now at 65 am having more problems with impulse control . Exercise helps but haven’t found anything that helps more. I have all of the ADD symptoms all of my life. Should I try Methelyne Blue?
When a woman has completed 10 books and has a successful career, didn’t really know she was struggling… where is the disorder part? I think that when someone is trying to do things and can’t overcome the struggle is where the disorder comes in. I’m sympathize with her anxiety, but I think she’s lucky to have the focus she does on her interests.
I enjoyed this for the moment, except for the constant interruptions 😮
ADD FTW! :D Damn he got me on the FAN! hahaha, Im 38 and Ive been in a 2 year hunt to find laser focus.
I understand, as an ADHD person myself, the interruptions etc., but she keeps talking about herself like it’s all about her and her diagnosis. She should be directing her comments to the audience
