Excellent. So delighted that this is now out and available to the man in the street. Have a grandson who has been labeled with ADD and is on Ritalin..😢 my heart goes out to him. Feel for the first time that there is hope for him. Thank you Dr Leaf
Shes probably right in cases of over diagnosis. But her data is outdated. Neurologist have found the biological basis of ADHD. Basically parts of the brain are delayed in development. Studies show that children with adhd have less brain mass until their brain catches up in development. Essentially their developmental process is slowed down. And the other element is that the default node network and the task oriented networks don't trade off activity levels correctly. Hense why someone with adhd are often inattentive. Their brain is litterally doing something else other than processing the information that is being attempted to focus on. I'm currious to hear more. But she needs to update this section in order to make it more accurate and respond to the current information avilable.
Yes funny that right, I was listening to Dr Russell Barkley (a leader in the field) the other day and he was talking about brain imagining how we are getting better with identifying specific areas in which adhd brains have different neuro networks. They think we are only 3-5 years from having the technology to actually use these scans as part of the diagnostic process. Secondly it’s not a ‘learning disability’ it’s a developmental disorder!! Like ASD it’s the way the brains networks work, implying it’s not real is like telling us we aren’t trying hard enough or our brains are broken and we should fix them!! I’m not saying adhd isn’t over diagnosed, it well could because a lot of professionals are lacking in knowledge and the diagnostic criteria is so narrow and doesn’t account for the biggest symptom - emotional disregulation. It is real and has a huge impact on life and overall health and life expectancy. Having quality understanding of how pervasive this condition is has been empowering for me after finally fighting tooth and nail to be diagnosed as an adult (it was not easy, I kept being blown off as anxious, being told smart people can’t have adhd!). Now I know how my brain works and no longer have to fight against it or do things the neurotypcial way and then be guilty and shameful when I fail. It has brought forgiveness and kindness. Dealing with the adhd has also helped to work on all the other work around trauma. I agree with her other research about the brain and emotional processing but these assumptions about ADHD are disgusting addressing one symptom ‘hyperactivity’ (which not all have). I hope she updates her knowledge and listens to the experiences especially for adults with ADHD and current professionals in the field. This has totally put me off using her processes. Her discussions on this are dangerous, they perpetuate the stereotype of the little boy who can’t sit still. Make me wonder what her thoughts are on actual learning disabilities like dyslexia and dyscalculia?
I have been diagnosed with ADHD and Complex PTSD I have so many tests done since childhood I am 62 now still have it .,.dont agree with her she needs to look at MRI and PET scans which show ADHD and PTSD
Yep, her information is out of date. I'll have to look into her approch to see how much use there is in it, but it's clear she of extends her method's capabilities
Knowing that there are 100s of research papers being published every single day inside one`s field, and that it is hard enough to try to stay updated on all of such. On top of that, then to attempt to become & stay up-to-date on something else that is not in the most direct sense relevant to one` s own , will become for most an overwhelming, and thus not easily nor readily undertaken task. I believe this is forming part of the reason why you are not handling this subject as well as you could.
Ya, I'm not sure how outdated her information is at the time of making this video. From what I understand now, the biological basis for adhd has been identified and we know it's mechanism decently enough now.
@@varrantgreen4259 it is all together not so very surprising to see false assumptions appear inside any field. I started taking interest in her work until I saw this. Interest is now lost because of the implications of sloppiness.
@@00042 Ya, someone suggested her material and it sounded like an interesting approch. But she way overextends it to everything. Shes basically saying you just need to lift weights the right way to strengthen your amputated limbs and they will just regrow on their own. Not really exsagerating cause adhd is caused by underdevelopment of specific brain regions. Ya lifting weights can be amazing to strengthen your body and deal with injuries caused by lack of support and strength. But it can't regrow limbs.
@@varrantgreen4259 true. I should know, for I am both blessed & cursed with it. And indeed I do. Now, technically speaking (as they say), the text introducing the video, reads: "I have worked with many people misdiagnosed with ADD & ADHD". If such is indeed the case, this presentation should be better headed so as to not misunderstand.
@@00042 same. Ya, wish she was more clear about how adhd is indeed real but trying to find the line between people who have it and those misdiagnosed with it is what she's talking about here. She dosent do a good job making that clear in the video itself either .
i have suffered with ADHD since early childhood which has led to MAJOR issues in my life (addictions, poor learning and more)...and only got recently diagnosed as an adult in my fities. (This took a year in all -- with about four tests). The last test was three hours long. You really should not add to the confusion on this serious condition. I am also a Born Again Believer in Jesus...
I really want to appreciate Dr iyhere and his team of specialized medical practitioners for pulling sense together to bring up this herbal medicine that help me cure ADHD within days
Thanks Dr Caroline for being so brave to share this valuable information and your willingness to help us to reach out and renew our minds. Your teachings have helped me to understand better my own children and other people around me.
I didn't know I had ADHD and when I discovered I tried telling my mom she said I was being immature for my age so I kept it to myself. And I have been looking for a lasting solution since then. With the help of Dr Iyhere on youtube I have been happy recently.

How is executive dysfunction with bad working memory explained I wonder....
Ya her informarion is out of date. Probably still right with over diagnosis cases. But she needs to update this to include legitimate ADHD cases.
It can be trauma.

I believe if we are told that we are not normal, even once, as a child, it can damage us. We need to hear this good news. We Are unique!
Doesn't Christianity do this to people who don't worship the same god?
There is so much more new research now with brain scans and all.
wish I had known about this as a child--there was NO info on this then...
I agree..:)
please do a podcast on spotify
I would like to learn more about tourette syndrome.
i am add my kids are adhd and have other mental problems...
I am also and I'll keep you in prayer🙏
