I was diagnosed with ADHD combined type at 33. This video made me tear up because I identify a lot with Brianne. I managed to get a 3.2 GPA in high school, but barely graduated from college while self medicating with heavy marijuana use. By age 13, I really just thought I was a bad/defective person. The feeling of an hour class feeling like 8 hours.. I just thought everyone felt like that. Everyone else seemed so much more disciplined and no matter how hard I tried...I just couldn't be like the "normal" kids. I had my son at 24, and 4 years, I lost my marriage, job, home, and any self esteem I may have still had. My self worth was wrecked. At 33, I was severely depressed and had generalized anxiety.
Now...at almost 35 and after finding the right diagnosis, along with finding the right dose and type of medication, I'm literally rebuilding my life. Thank you for this video!
Were you diagnosed at his clinic? If so how much did it cost around ?
Hope you are doing well Lindsay!
U can do it! I hope I can do the same just being diagnosed at 50yrs old and now being treated.
@@debbiemckenna5 if you don't mind me asking what was the conversation that you had with your doctor
Am so happy for you , life is beautiful . Enjoy , viewer from Australia
I have to say after reading several of Dr. Amen's books and watching a ton of his Podcasts and RUclips videos, I truly believe that he wants to help people live their best life. I'm so happy that Daniel Amen decided to become a psychiatrist and bring awareness to brain spect imaging. It's so TRUE, how can you know unless look?? In my opinion, brain imaging should be a common test that is done to evaluate overall health- especially if someone is having problems emotionally, or with headaches, possible concussions, learning problems, substance abuse, etc... It should be common sense!
DLJG1 it seems like it would be but in practice the way that Dr Amen does this is at the minimum not as precise as he makes it out to be. We can use brain scans to see certain patterns of behavior in the brain and confirm certain characteristics of disorders but at the individual level it is not all that helpful beyond helping to identify a disorder in a fairly general sense.
We’re simply not good enough at this yet and I say this as a psychologist and someone who can actually read the data.
We don’t know enough about the brain yet to be able to use brain scans which in one way or another measure the firing of electrical signals in brain, or simply activation.
So basically by mapping ON/OFF Billions of times throughout the entire brain we are to make conclusions as to the details of what’s happening.
Imagine I break you iPhone and I have to tell you everything that is happening on it based on the display, audio, with the memory, etc. just by the electrical signals that it is sending out.
Now make that 1000x more difficult .
That’s what we’re doing and FYI Functional MRIs are now more advanced than the methods Dr Amen uses.
I love his vulnerability here! I can just imagine how he felt being looked at by his community as a failure as eing able to control his daughter 😂😂. Parents get SOOOO much blame for everything their kids do or dont do, I feel so validated in my struggles! Thank you Dr Amen for this video ❤
When he said "I had a spirtual crisis over this child". 😆 But on a serious note...you can tell how much he loves his children and helping others is his calling.
I love your honesty.
Thank you Dr. Amen, this video gave me hope for myself. I have been struggling with all of these things myself. I envision greatness in my career and I am always trying to motivate amd push myself to be organized and on top of everything, but sometimes I have a task and I just can't even get myself started, I procrastinate and I get myself worked into a frenzy for no apparent reason and I end up falling behind on things. I have been watching your videos and things are making sense I relate to your daughter Breann!
You're cute.
I was just diagnosed in June 2020 with ADD the inattentive type at 50 yrs old I am so upset that no one diagnosised me for ADD but for depression and anxiety. Due to the late diagnosises I struggling I did in my life with school and relationships. I had been able to get my Masters degree in SW 20 yrs
ago and have 3 beautiful children and.2 of my children have ADD. I had so many jobs, car accidents, friendships/ relationships that never lasted. My life makes sense now. I hope I can stilll can learn new ways of doing things and I pray to GOD I can reach my goals now that I am being treated.
Such helpful information! Can't wait until this is taught fully in teacher education and more widely as general information so that people can seek the help that is available to those that struggle and suffer so unnecessarily.
Thank you so much for sharing. As a parent w a child w Add...I've felt nuts and like a terrible parent. This was encouraging to hear your frustration as a parent. Feeling not so alone.
Dr. Amen, thank you for sharing your knowledge and sharing your very personal family stories. I'm a 52 year old female and have struggled for many many years with depression and some anxiety. I've went to a few psychologists and a psychiatrist over the years until they drained me. This last Dr tried me on a few medications and only one helped for a short time but I feel like the exercise I was doing was the key. When I quit things went down hill again. Now I truly believe that my diet plays a big roll so I've been changing that but it's very difficult fighting a sugar addiction. I've had suicide attempts I hate that I'm not consistent with anything in my life and I hate that I can't compete tasks or follow thru with plans. I hate that I leave messes everywhere just to have to clean up later. I was a terrible mom and now I'm just a terrible enabler to two adult kids with addictions. I fear I'll be there same to my beautiful grandchildren. I love till it hurts. I'm doing no one any good. Can you please recommend a doctor similar to your ways for me, please? Your story about your daughter made me cry because that was me, I felt and experienced exactly what she did. Thanks for listening. God bless. Cheryl
I am 51 and have never been diagnosed I am going to be tested for the first time. I dropped out of college. When I look back, the life that I could have had...
Thank Dr Amen you have been a God send to my life! Absolutely life saving!
How do you contact his office?
What a joy,you are,so very honest…your tears are mine…I have a son,whom has ADHD(And on the Spectrum) back then,it was a battle to get him help(He’s now a Project Manager in I.T). Because I got him help and treatment.It turns out of course that I-have ADHD too!!
Thankyou Dr.Amen for all of your informative videos on ADD. Im a 34yr old mother of 3 kids and I myself have ADD as well as 2 of my children. Its a struggle to have ADD and have 2 kids with ADD, but what a blessing it is to have more knowledge and awareness about ADD and your Brain. Thankyou for all you do! Your AMAZING!!!
Great video! I wish he would make more like this.
I am 35, newly diagnosed with ADD. I relate so much to your story about Brianne. It parallels my own life so much! I wept watching this video. I have found life so hard up until now. I am awaiting my first prescription of Ritalin and hoping that finally my life can truly begin to be enjoyable, rather than just survival.
So how did it go?
Dr. Daniel Amen good and smart man
This was a fantastic video.
Awesome! Thank you for your honesty! Thank God for you! Parents struggling with this need healthcare providers who truly understand what they're going through. 💖🙏🏼🤗
Thank y'all so much dearest 🌹
Y'all such an inspiration 🥰
Appreciate y'all from the bottom of my heart 💖
Be Blissful Eternally 🙏👼🌈
Thank you so much
46 years old, diagnosis in process, I cry because I laugh ! so much ! Because... this messy room that you don't even know how it is possible to get a room like that, the class all in order, except... 1. you describe it so well. Thank you. It's just so normal for me that I never thought I could have AD(H)D (I don't drive 200km/h), so we need this point of view : saying it's not usual, not normal, but without any blame. 💫 thank you thank you !
Your dauther Brian is like me inAntentional ADD/very introvert. I always try hard and dont get anything out of it. I always read a text tree times when my friend reads once. Know im going to University this year so i really need medication. I started meditaion when i was 18 and it helped alot.but i still need more help.
Excellent soliloqué, Herr Daniel. Fascinating they way you present this information in the form of a narrative. An excellent way to understand a technical topic such as this. Insightful and informative. I think you just described me as a kid and teenager where learning (comprehension) was such a struggle.
I’m 43 year old male only recently diagnosed. Tried two different types of meds/ doses with zero improvement.
No gp will help me with medication anymore.they all tell me I need to see a head doctor. I live in northern bc canada.there is only one doctor that could see me but apparently ADD people are low on the people that need to be helped.. since my diagnosis I have tried to learn as much as possible about the condition and see how this has deviated my attempts at bettering my self.
I can’t even believe that all the knowledge and tools are out there to fix me but no one will help me.
Thanks canada.....
“I had a spiritual crisis over this child.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can relate! The whole church story was hilarious because I KNOW 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you please do a short video on ADD and the link to alcoholism? ( I know you have mentioned in longer videos about drug abuse, etc.... ...how alcoholics self medicate to feel normal because it acts as a stimulant and Adderall, for example also acts as a stimulant to help ADDers feel normal. A video as short as possible because I think those truly suffering will not pay attention long. May many family members see this (future?) video and see their Alcoholic family members get help. Thanks for being an answer to prayer!
Biopolar tend to self medicate more than ADD. My spouse had a manic depression and he never liked meds. He always hides his drinking problems. But his last drink had already killed of brain death and stroke.
I can't stop listening to you. It makes so much Sense! Thank you for sharing your work.
My daughter wanted out of the stroller in target, she was running around and being wild, got her back in, then she’s out, she wants to push it, and somehow flipped it back and fell on her back bumping her head. Oh the looks from the perfect parents…she was 2 or 3. She’s 18 now, I was dx with ADHD a few years ago, and I’m certain she has it too. They want to diagnose her with everything else and ignore how ADHD looks in young women and the snowball of other issues that stem from it.
Growing up around the same time frame it was the same exact thing for me exactly what he described what he did with his kids is what happened for me except no brain scans
God bless you Dr. Amen! My granddaughter was recently diagnosed with ADHD. My daughter has been taking her for Math tutoring. She has had her in dance, swimming lessons, piano lessons, etc.
Her Dad is strongly opposed to her taking medication. I was a teacher and I always felt medication should be a last resort, however, some people truly need it in order to thrive. My granddaughter is in fifth grade and they did recently choose to put her on medication, which they have been told, only needs to be taken on school days. My understanding was that this medication needs to be administered daily. I hope meds have been improved and that this is no longer the case. Sorry, I don’t remember what kind of Med it is. Do you advise parents to only administer meds when needed, or do they need to take it daily? Thanks, in advance, for any input regarding this information. May God bless you and your family. Thanks so much for your dedication and honesty. You are a gift to those affected by this disorder!
So that was a whole lecture about his experience, which was great, but read some of his books if you want actual advice regarding specific alternatives to stimulants. This made me tear up several times though. I immediately fell in love with Brianne* and Caitlyn*…. That was me but I was too obstinate to take the meds
Enjoyed this straight from the heart video. Thank you.
I have ADD as well as ASD and OCD
The most honest the better because that is key for improvement. I cried. Very good video. Just I wonder if there was an awareness of the moral structures at home, if change of certain customs at home were made and not just force the brain to change by inducing chemicals.
I've always been a soul stuff made South coat self-diagnosed and I'm really so far ahead and only I could just come back with not being so far ahead maybe I could get right here work advice but usually my doing their work...I'm a person who has a child the system failed and now the victim who is being persecuted as if I've ever had a record.
One of the most frustrating things for me to hear, is how great things are when someone gets treatment and everything changes. I've tried so many meds, seen so many therapists, and.....NOTHING. Not a damn thing. I know as much as the therapists. Everything I tell them about my situation, and the causes, and what it means, they all nod in agreement. But no one can help beyond giving tips for COPING with it, or working around it. None of which work, by the way. I'm utterly paralyzed on a daily basis and have no idea how to help myself. It brings me to tears.
JamiesCryin1 you could try meditation
Omg that's tough 😱
NAET treatments helped eliminate symptoms go to www.naet.com
I am surprised that no one has suggested to you the whole point of this video.
Dr. Amen is suggesting that with a brain scan, instead of guessing what the problem (and treatment )is, the precise problem is more easily determined, and thus the proper treatment can be determined.
At least, that is what he is proposing in this video
Same.
Can I still take the medicine , I am 62 years old , I am have very hard focus
Do you also test people for B-vitamin and magnesium (or any other) nutritional deficiencies? Do you think a certain level of nutritional deficiency could be a trigger for ADD? I'm new to your channel and enjoyed learning about this.
What supplement from BrainMD would work well to take in combo with a prescription stimulant?
What is the name of the brain scan, can anyone recommend a clinical center in england 🇬🇧 🙏
Well my kid is 9 . Diagnosed with sever ADHD, ODD, sever anxiety. Nobody in 4 states we have traveled to had been able to help . We are almost bankrupt now from all the different doctors and travels . He also can’t even go to school anymore. He talks about wanting to die too. Sad! Not sure what to do now :(
You would think the ritalin would be for his hyperactive daughter. I have a hard time understanding how it helped his daughter that was calm actually understand the school work.
Im unaware of anybody in my family having ADD...i am 55 & was diagnosed 4 years ago 🤔
‘Room going from order to disorder’. OMG that’s always been me me me. For 5 days a week my room would be spotless but the 6th day OMG it was like a tornado had hit it. Of course the 7th was spent sporting out the mess and so on and on goes the cycle to date.
Lots of love and prayers for all ADD moms like me raising multiple ADD kids.
I was diagnosed with add (innatentive type) recently, because i looked up my symptoms and i knew about a year before but noone believed me until i finally got to test me. I felt like a zombie 24/7, and i felt/feel like i have no thoughts and dopamine. I even experienced with stimulant drugs such as cocaine just to see if i would feel any dopamine/or euphoria in any way and i didn’t. So i feel empty all day, and due to drug use, i now have to wait a long time because of drug tests so i can finally Get Ritalin prescripted. Endless struggles, i need help DOC.
Amazing. How can I get a scan? What type of Dr do I go to in order to get one?

What is the name of drug for low activity in the brain,& what are the side effects.Also the length of time needed. Is it a forever drug?
+Anne Jodoin Try listening to it again. Answer is after 17min. Nothing is forever... eg. antibiotic resistance bacteria.
Justin Howard he said ritalin
You all know that this guy`s clinics are only for people that have a lot of money, this guy`s clinics are not for the common american, the treatments are incredibly expensive and after scouting the internet a lot I`ve been finding out that they dont work with insurance. It is sad because his methods make a lot of sense.

Have you done brain scans of ADHD people when they are hyper focusing??
I think I have add... I have been having these vague feeling something was not right... and so desperately want to treat it...help please.
I am 30 now I think I had it for a long time.. I am laughed at work almost everyday... i cry alone when I reach back home.
This sounds weird but Parasite cleanses .. they can help with autism. When you said she was squirming in her seat well maybe her neurotransmitters in her gut are being extra stimulated🤷🏻♀️
I know that our 15 year old daughter has ADD and has always had it. My husband doesn’t believe in ADD. He says that its a lack of discipline problem and basically blames it on me. She has all of the classic symptoms. I want so badly to get her the help she needs but he won’t let me put her on any medication. Funny thing is is that he has severe ADHD but can’t admit it. What can I do?

Can someone give me a tldr?
ADHD and ADD is not a disease or disorder.
It's a very different Operating System than most people!
Is that opposition defiant disorder? when a child says no all the time and rebel.
It can be but it has to be diagnosed with a professional.
Is there some other way besides amphetamines to bring more activity to these kids’ brains? For so many other conditions, it’s nutrition and exercise and positive thinking and close relationships - but for ADHD - “you have a broken brain”?
He forgot to mention his patients have it as well. Poor guy
This is almost like an ad for Ritalin. He says it dramatically improved his daughters life. Great, if so.
I took Ridlin and it didn’t help me at all. In fact, it made me feel very disoriented and I quickly ditched it.
He could have had the same results without those scans. At the end of the day, what did they really do? 17:26 she FELT the improvement, and simple tests show the effects of Ritalin
So is he saying the answer is ritalin ?
Took way too long to get to point
Hard to watch ADD cause more than half the video are personal anecdotes
Please help me I have been diagnosed with ADHD! I was treated as a child but do to my dysfunctional family life lost touch with treatments and meds and help I've having such a hard time keeping up in life. I try so hard but can't seem to keep up. I am so insecure and hit a wall at every turn. I not like everyone else but I don't think I all that dumb but it funny how dumb people tend to think there smart only cause of how little they know. Well I KNOW I KNOW NOTHING. But I would like to get more out of the effort I put into trying to retain information and skills. I try but my life is so chaotic. Please reach out to me.

Why?
Low brain activity.
You can't speak for me!
hehe xd
Scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
Yosef Borodkin explain?
I looked up people that were at there clinecs. Most reviewed them as colt like environments. Full of lies. Btw love us profile picture.
But filled his bank-account.
Robert Kemp Frauds are the biggest winners in this world I guess. Look at Donald Trump for instance? (Or how about how Thomas Edison copied the works of Nikola Tesler, whilst acting as if it was himself who made those inventions being as he was simply the better marketer? Whereas the father of electricity died alone in his apartment.) People are willing to do anything to either shape the world into their personal image or take money from those who are less fortunate than others. I wouldn't trust these people as far as I could throw them if being cynical is understanding that we don't own other people or this planet in particular for that matter (That can inevitably extinct our insignificant species at any given moment if it, so choose.) then yeah, I guess that makes me just cynical... There's a lot of secrets in this world and not many tell the truth about it.
Such is the nature of humanity itself.
Robert Kemp Is that why we constantly change our, so called: "World Leaders?" Why democracy is now being seen more and more as a form of dictatorship where people have begun to lose trust in their own government? We only know what other's try to tell us what we should believe in. It's been like that since the dawn of time. Religion (Not all, but the most common.) being the first thing other's used to either escape reality or manipulate other's into hating each-other. (These things still happening even to this very day depending on where you live on this planet.)
lol. Well, if he is helping people why shouldn't he make money while caring for people?? So many people and companies in this world are totally out for their own gains not giving a shit about how what they are doing impacts other people!
