Thank youuuuu!!! We have ADHD and we don’t get the patience to listen to other thing that is not the point for what we came to the video 😂👂

I started ritalin at the age of ten. I was a pretty angry and impulsive kid. They gave a pill to me every day and didnt tell me what it is. They told me to say theyre vitamins if a classmate asks (dont forget that im ten) and i "by chance" saw a video at age 12 telling stuff about ritalin and i could read by then so i now knew they werent vitamins. When i asked they couldnt say no. But i had no idea about it i was taking it for two years and the video told me its a good thing. I couldnt even think about it i was just hurt _again_ because everyone lied. Im 18 now. My brain is 'normalised'. I look back in my life and dude... i hate being normalised. I was a smart kid, i learned reading and basic english on my own at age 5. I used to read anatomy and biology books at age 6,7... and understand it. I used to paint,draw, build stuff; i used to open up machines and looked into them, i was into space and gravity and shit. Now i fuckin feel like my iqs down. Now i dont do them. But hey, I can manage tasks that are given to me! So... you know... im a better and easier kid... I am now a normal task manager which does bettter in her steampunk conveyor belt school. At least i do better at focusing on my task when the bell rings, so hurray! Think of it man i could have been like that weirdo charlie chaplin, have you seen that moron in modern times!
Look into things that interest you. You can still be smart. I have heard a lot of bad stuff about Ritalin though so I’m sorry. I hope you can get back to doing crazy stuff. I started
at 40 and it worked for me. I do wish I had started earlier.
@@cats9654 RIGHT HE CANT DO SIMPLE MATH BECAUSE HIS BRAIN DOESNT WORK RIGHT. You literally just proved my point with your lecture there lady. I started meds at 40 yrs old, it was the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I got straight A’s and I was finally able to finish my degree. Go actually READ scientific papers on the effects of medicine on the brain with ADHD. Or go read a scientific journal about ADHD by you know, actual DOCTORS THAT GO TO SCHOOL FOR TEN YEARS AND SEE NUMEROUS PATIENTS A DAY. You can’t sit there and think you are right. You sound like an old fool and if you think being stubborn is some sort of badge you need to wear proudly you are extremely delusional. Meds are not for everyone, but if they are truly ADHD I wish I would have been diagnosed earlier. It would have been a lot easier knowing what the hell was happening to me when my brain was going 100 mph with 100 different thoughts all at the same time. You don’t even get it. You really don’t.
I was a behavior problem in early elementary school. Because i had a poorly qualified mother to say the least. And an abusive stepfather. The result I was raised on drugs for problems I didn't have. Like I was the reason I was getting beaten. From age 5 to 13. Id like to know what in my life at 38 I can link to that type of drug abuse. I became a modern day mini-giant at 6'9" buy often felt to weak to be this big. Easily fatigued. Lacking a masculine muscle structure no matter joining marines and getting strong. Now disabled arthritis and nerve damage. Can these connect?
I can relate, I hope your doing better bro.
Have you seen a good physician to treat your physical health problems?
I was always talking and never doing work till 6th grade when I got prescribed it, my teachers told my mom I was a whole different person, I took it all the way up to high school and it really did help me get stuff done, but it always made me super awkward and twitchy and was always socially scared
You have it since birth... When the symptoms start at 12 you don't have adhd you have something else

@Samsung Worldwide well what he said it isn't a developing disorder
Thats not true mate. Children with a higher IQ usually show the simptomes later than children with an "average" IQ.
@@Tox1C__ Than society doesn't care because you still get results but you will probably still have symptoms
@@gwendolynjonkers8695 Yep thats pretty sad. What annoys me the most is that many people still believe that ad(h)d isnt real and just blame everything on puberty.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. It was well done and is helping me with the decision of whether or not to put my 8-year-old daughter on medication.
Very informative video. Is there similar research on how non-stimulant ADHD affects the brain long-term?
Thank you Informative Videos
Excellent video! I appreciate you bringing to us pure scientific literature in a condensed way. I always felt like I have borderline ADD and always wanted to take Ritalin or Adderral, but after watching this video and seeing some possible long term effects, I'm reluctant to just try it out willy nilly. However, the other option I was considering as therapy for my "self-diagnosed borderline ADD" was meditation. I would really appreciate it if you could do a video on the current scientific literature about the effects of meditation on the brain - effects on the default mode and possibly other structures in the brain. Thanks!
Excellent
I didn't understand the part with the dopamine transporters. Does the permanent increase mean there will be more dopamine in the brain and therefore a person will be able to focus better? Because my main fear is that for one reason or another I decide to stop taking the drug, and dopamine production is lower than before I took it and therefore i'll end up worse. Should that be a concern? (I haven't decided yet if I want to take it)
No the increase in transporters means that long term you are getting worse.However is it permanent?I am not sure but it will last a long time maybe 1-2 years or something after you stop
Dopamine transporters are the things that remove dopamine from your brain, therefore you'll end up with worse adhd than before taking the meds.
But the science presented here also says that the size of affected brain regions is augmented over the long term. Meaning that the increased number of transporters could be an adaptation to the brain regions developing to their proper size.
Could someone please tell me what program he is using that shows every brain structures? I would have LOVED to have this when I had my bio classes!! Still, this is awesome!
its called the Allen brain atlas. its free. found here human.brain-map.org/
@@thisisyourbrainonscience4597 Thank You Appreciate your help
They have my son on them. He was 8. The doctor fought to keep him on them despite my own issues with it due to addiction on my side. Idk. Idfk. My hands are tied by a DOCTOR.
My doctor and I tried the natural route for 3 months. After feedback from teachers we decided its best for my son to start on lowest dose Ritalin. His marks went up and he seems to binge eat less. His teacher said that adhd untreated can lead to drug abuse (self medicating). I was a drug addict so I'm well aware how it is. If it can prevent addiction later in life then it is worth a shot?
You have the final say about whether your child takes medication or not.
Not according to the doctor
Great job explaining ADHD medication!! Do you do Add coaching?
Excellent
Thank you so much for this informative video
I have visions can't correlate whether its because of medicine at 7 and 8
Thanks, very useful.
Im struggling with the concept of putting my 7yo child on medicine but he can’t focus at all in class with reading comprehension and or math problems requiring multiple steps. Is there any information that taking a stimulant for the school week but with fling during summer, weekends, or breaks would be contraindicated?
Im a child that takes hdhd i wouldn't recommand it it makes me sad,i have horible heart pain,i cant grow like other kids,i have trobule breathing,and its just horrible
Please, as someone who suffers long term emotional suppression and chronic depression as a result of years of childhood “medication” do not do this to your child.
These drugs have left me with a disability that has affected near every aspect of my life.
Think about this, if you think your child’s behavior is a little too much or not ideal. These drugs work by suppressing the function of the brain that contribute to these emotions. You are dulling the soul of your child. And for many children, myself included, the affects can be permanent.
My son struggles with comprehension and some math too. He isn't failing but his school has very high standards😢 If you can afford a tutor that understands adhd, that would be a huge help. I do not give my child ritalin on holidays or weekends. I'm hoping to get him alternative help as this video has scared the heck out of me. 😢
Try comic books
Very interesting. I took Ritalin for a month as a kid in elementary, I'd just fall asleep. Didn't go back on meds. I'm now in my 30s, and started dextroamphetamine, and I'm really dissappointing at how sparse the literature is. It seems that even the studies that are done are widely inconclusive. Then when examining anecdotal evidence, it's even more inconclusive. I find anecdotally, many people who are detractors of the drug tend to report the same symptoms I report, except they report them while on the drug, and I report them while off the drug, which leads me to question if they are indeed in need.
I guess what I will do is keep a medical journal, and try to break up my usage to avoid dependency, so that my symptoms don't get worse while off the drug.
Going into taking the meds my 2 largest concerns was a dependency issue (not addiction), where tolerance raises, and my symptoms worsen while off the meds. And 2nd, potential cardiovascular damage due to repeat usage. I haven't found any reports on the latter, and a few reports both from studies and anecdotally of the former.
I totally agree. All this guy says is in rats it was bad in larger doses. So its ok in regulated doses they all say..I would like to know if the salts in medication thickens the heart long term...not enough research so annoying. Need to try fish oils and diet firatwh8ch I did but I can still perform way better on meds.
Do a video on ssri withdrawal
Conceta and Adderall has really effected my life long term, it scares the hell out of me and when i tell my mom she dosent want to hear anything about it, ive turned to drinking because im messed up mentally, ive obviously had to have dependency on amphetamines from 14-18 no kid should know what it feels like to come down off of drugs
could u elaborate on how the withdrawal feels?
@lenag3329 withdrawal from the pills or alcohol. The pills I honestly diddnt really have any as far as I remember, alcohol is freaking horrible I'd be sweaty itchy exhausted, I was puking like everyday and I wasn't able to eat I'd have dts aka shaking and I was in a mesh of mad, sad and anxious. I actually went to treatment on the 4th of April so I'm like about 4 months sober atm
I can relate, hey try Kratom instead of drinking, its helped me quit the booze. Stay up 🙏
You said that the symptoms start at age 12 but I was diagnosed at 5
I was at 4
My son at 9
I think he meant symptoms begin BY age 12, not AT age 12.
I refuse any medication as an adult because I was forced on legalized meth as a kid. I was forced to take my mother held me down and forced it down my throat. I eventually had an adverse reaction. If I had of known that the medication was legalized meth I would have sued the doctor when I turned eighteen. My mother is still stupid my dad disagreed with drugging me. He would laugh at her and claimed he was stupid until the day he died. After the reaction, she was determined to still control me. When I turned 14 I eventually beat the hell out of her. Of course I would also get ahold of those parenting books she would get read them and turn the tables around on her. I got her so upset she got the belt out and I took it away from her and turned the tables on her. Dad looked at her said he knew that day would come and kicked her out. She left and I never had a problem. When she tried to have me diagnosed I sat mute in the Doctors office and never talked to him. I refused to take tests. Funny how I could be diagnosed with anything. I watched Dad sit there and tell the doctor before the test that mom was stupid. So I took the lead.
It's a bullshit disorder, at least with me
.. in the early 70's I was diagnosed with hyperactivity... it was more so PTSD caused by seeing my sister, then 5 y/o being raped.. I was 4... I started acting out because I didn't know how to tell what I had seen... nor did I understand it... my activity changed, I was taken to a psychologist.. he diagnosed me as hyperactive... later in life I was diagnosed as anti-social and possibly sociopathic.... I was after 10 beaten constantly by a step father who had kick the dog syndrome, I was the dog... I was not a child that needed a bullshit medication, I needed empathy and time... but no, I was put into a mental prison by ritilan and dilantin for my siezures from the ritilan.... to anyone who jumps at ritilan as a solution is an idiot without researching yourself ...

(this helps me further, regarding my 7 year old grandson whom they feel the need to treat with drugs.My philosophy is to adhere to a more homeopathic solution, including eating habits,less sugar,corn starch and wheat products,more fresh organic home-made recipes where possible,plus small sessions of meditation (gradual with 2 minute exercise to begin with) and breathing techniques,pleanty of exercise and extra home lessions,followed up by on-going tea
cher and parent involvemnt, for the long term..Should we really be alteing a 7 year olds brain with drugs,Or is this too much to ask in todays society.(York England)
You are 100% correct the medicine is the last alternative do not let them put the child on medicine unless it is that severe this medicine will turn your child into somebody they're not you won't even recognize your child anymore blonde Yorkies your grandchild after six months of being on the medication I no longer recognize my daughter not only that but she's severely depressed severely withdrawn it has lost all social skills and does not want to interact other than on the internet are playing the video games this medication is lethal and I don't believe any child should be on a controlled substance that is that legal not only that but they don't even have all of the data about these drugs are pushing on our children they are far more worse in any homeopathic all-natural approach I heard you please do not put the child on medication unless it's all natural you'll regret it if you do I know I am regretting it and I just hope it didn't have any long-term effects on my child my child is far more worse on the medication that she was without it I would have rather have dealt with the issue of her not being able to focus because of all of the Ruckus going on in the classroom if I would have known back then what I know now I would have quit my job homeschooled my child and never put it on medication nowadays they are trying to make all the children walk talk think and act like each other and that's making an act out even more our government is so corrupt it's disgusting they're actually going after the children because they are the generation of Tomorrow the movers and shakers I know this sounds far-fetched but it's true and medication does not help the children and makes them worse God bless you and your grandchild I pray to God that you do not have to put him on medication and I pray that you get help and answers please pray for my daughter and I I'm afraid that she might become suicidal I'm just thankful to God that I caught on before it was too late I'm getting her off of this medicine as soon as the end of the school year and I'm not putting her back on it I will deal with whatever back last there is but that medicine is no damn good my son was on it from the time he was in fourth grade till he was a senior in high school he's now 19 years old and I have a way better relationship with him now than I did when he was on the medication it's like you can't get through to them when they're on the medicine any little sudden movement irritates them when I let medicine any little movement will erupt them when they're on that medication that medication makes every issue 10 times worse I've had years of dealing with it with my son and now with my daughter who is 8 years difference in age than my son I would not recommend any parent to put their children on a stimulant unless you want to regret it like myself dear God please help our children society and our government is trying to poison and corrupt their minds and what better way than to dope them up as a child and get them already addicted as a child to where they don't know any different or any better as an adult this is horrible it's unethical and it's disgusting these medical professionals we put our children's life in their hands and Trust our children's life in their hands all the while they know that they're poisoning archildrens minds and their bodies with the stimulants it's also a proven fact that these stimulants cause high blood pressure and sugar problems my son had issues with high blood pressure and diabetes he was borderline diabetic on and off because of the stimulant Vyvanse here it is 4 years later and I'm going through the same issues with my daughter having high blood pressure and high sugar levels and high ketones in her urine out of nowhere it just started out of nowhere and I went to the same thing for years ago with my son when he was on that medication not only does it harm their mind it harms their body in ways you will never know because they don't show up right away please don't be like me and put your child in the medicine and listen to the doctor get second opinion do everything and anything exhaust every resource you have at your disposal before doping your child up with medication

@@shereemuir4769the scientific name is Methylphenidate. Ritalin is meth. You may look it up, Ritalin acts like meth and cocaine on the body. It is a controlled substance and no kid should ever be put on a controlled substance period. If a parent cannot control a kid maybe they shouldn’t be parents.
@@shereemuir4769 actually, I was refusing to do the busy work teachers gave me. I pulled off 90-100 on my tests through school. When I was drugged as a child I started refusing to even take the tests. When they kept upping the dose I eventually had a negative reaction. I don’t see how a psychologist can diagnose a child when the child doesn’t say or do anything during the session. I walked in told the psychologist that it was none of his business and sat there hands folded in my lap. I was then smarter than my mother and now guess who she has to depend on for shelter?

Why do we expect human children to take amphetamines?
Cause it's the easiest approach
People are stupid and ignorant
@@timothysmith1184 You are spot on. People are ignorant, stupid and lazy as fu*k. It is much easier to give your kid a pill (and to take them yourself) than to do the hard work of making major lifestyle changes. Not saying medication can never be beneficial, because it absolutely can. But I would love to see studies of how many people try dietary changes (little to no sugar, no processed foods, whack tons of fruits/veggies, whole grains, no funky dyes/fake flavoring etc) along with getting outdoor excerise. Less screen time, more bike riding, walkimg, family camping trips. Behaviour modification with a qualified therapist... Like how many people really put forth the effort of this before dosing their kids with amphetamine based drugs, or themselves popping anti depressants, blood pressure meds etc? America takes more meds than any other country in the whole world. Everybody wants the easy, quick way out even if it will cause more damage long term. Lazy as fu*k.
Guys I am looking for a safer approach, have you guys figured it out how to do stuff without medication?
Well how do you expect a child to grow up and cope as an adult with adhd?
Anyone else have issues with their child becoming depressed and having behavioral issues after being on the medication both of my children are diagnosed ADHD because I am but I never took medication my son who is now 18 and not on any medication any significant change in his mood and his behavior but nowhere near my daughter and we all know females are far more emotional but it seems like this medication Vyvanse has really had a negative impact on my child she's withdrawn she's not as active as she was she talks back doesn't listen doesn't follow orders very argumentative lacks social skills very lazy my child was not like this before starting the medication she was actively involved and a handful of sports and activities she was very social she was actually a social butterfly now she doesn't want to leave the house please somebody help me there is got to be something to help these kids without doping them up the pills are just making them worse any information or advice would be greatly appreciated I'm not going to give up till I find another answer the medication the pills are not the answer all they do is make the child's behavior and symptoms worse parents educate yourself before putting your child on medication try other alternatives even if you have to homeschool your child I'm not stopping here please keep me and my child in your prayers it seems as if ADHD and that medication affects females far worse than males being that I raised a male that is ADHD and was on the medication can 4th grade until senior year and my daughter now has been diagnosed for the last 3 years and has been on medication the doctor never ordered therapy I actually had to bring it to their attention this is not okay any child that's on a medication for mental health issues should also be in therapy along with the medication you cannot rely on doctors anymore most of them are just in it for a paycheck and they get money to do--for Children up they get kickbacks from the pharmaceutical companies I know in my gut I know in my heart in my soul this medicine is ruining the generation of tomorrow are you just not stand a chance if we don't do something to stop these medical professionals from giving these children these highly addictive drugs they don't even have all of the research to let you know the long-term effects it has on a child's brain development I believe it's far more greater than what the medical health professionals let on
ADHD meds are typically stimulants so when they start to come off of it they get super lows so that could be why
I have these same uses what i did was just kept trying to find new meds personally its annoying af trying to find a med that works personally i hate talking meds and id prefer to get a lower dose or see if you can get a lower dose with quick release to be used when you need it
Same as the other person that commented. Sometimes medications won't work in that case if you want you can try new one's I've had medication that made me sad al the time so I stopped using them and I've had medication after that and it worked for years right now I don't know if it still works as well as it did before so I'm probably going to change just to see if this one's have more effect (of course this is all in consultation with my doctor) you're never just stuck with one kind of medication it will work on some people and on some people it won't it's just like everything in live you need to find what works best for you
@Samsung Worldwide I'm so incredibly sorry for you tbh I don't understand why your son gets that high of a dose especially when it is Ritalin trust the doctor on that one but maybe try a lower dose like 20 or something because I find the amount very scary (please still listen to your doctor it's possible your sons medication just needs to be given in a high dose to work but if your son uses the same stuff I do I think the dose is way to high for such a young age)
@Samsung Worldwide this of course doesn't count when it works for way longer than my medication does but please check that ouy
This guy is leaving a lot of stuff out. Probly bc he is a psychiatrist and will make money from giving out ADHD medication. DO NOT GIVE YOUR KIDS ANY MEDICATION. Especially not ADHD meds. I took for only a short time when I was 11 and went from being the most popular kid in school with a million friends. To an adult with terrible anxiety and no friends. I’m 28 years old and have made almost mo progress in life due to anxiety and lack of motivation which comes from taking ADHD medication as a child.
If you don’t take it anymore since childhood why would you still have the side effects? The anxiety could also be a part of ADHD and the chaos etc is causes
Exactly adhd does not go away..infact I wish I found out earlier as I would have passed university. I had to repeat yr 12 to get in then got depressed with 2.5 yrs of the work load but now I know it was undiagnosed adhd which medication has made huge difference.
I agree kids may not need it I needed it in yr 11 and 12 though I would say but little kids it's not necessary.
