    The stigma is real. I just got diagnosed at almost 41. Have literally turned dysfunctional with chronic fatigue and burnout, and have to deal with my parents dismissing it. I’m so relieved to finally be validated that I’m not just a lazy scatter brain that has no will power or self control. Have been struggling so much since having kids especially. And previously diagnosed with anxiety of course 🤦🏽‍♀️

    Thank you, this is great video, how ever it’s so hard to get a diagnoses. It’s just a shame there’s not enough Drs who specialise in ADHD. 😢

    @20:25 "level of rigorous diagnosis is maybe not what's happening". Understatement of the century. Psychiatry has gotten lazy, with 'talk therapy' and medication letting therapists off the hook with their responsibility to do any real analysis or assessment. Thumbs up on the segment and quality of the interview.

    Interesting episode but the Not so Background music around 25+ mins is so distracting I can barely listen.

    I have an older brother who was definitely hyperactive-impulsive type and diagnosed pretty early because of how insanely unmanageable he was, which sort of 'pushed me' into having to fill a more submissive little brother role, probably more submissive than normal because of how much movement and sound my brother generated and how completely it commanded everyone's attention, and how little of my movements and sounds anyone in the same hemisphere with him could give a shit about. So most of what I did was sitting on the couch quietly watching my demon brother bounce off the walls and everyone trying to keep him from setting the place on fire or breaking all of his own limbs. And when it came to play, he played the video games, and I was perfectly content to watch him. And for most of our adolescence, he was the sheer chaotic magnetism of the duo, and I was the quite, cordial observer and side bar; like a comfortable pair of sunglasses for staring directly into the sun.
    My parents actually thought I was deaf because of how repressed I was. I started talking late, and I didn't really give a shit about most thing that would definitely get the attention of the average baby; like clapping behind their head or making a funny face. I was just sort of deadpan and spacey. They had me evaluated by the family doctor and he was like "No, he can definitely hear you, he just doesn't seem to care".

    Hating my ADHD right now. Waiting nearly a year to get a formal diagnosis and access to medication is awful. I need help now but I can't get it.

      Yes it’s so hard to get the help you need. I hate the forgetfulness, that’s so hard to live with. I love this talk, thanks to all of you. 🙏 Tamara sounds like a lady I’d like to see. Thanks to all concerned. I now understand the way it gets mistaken for, depression anxiety and ptsd , I’d been treated for all those, when the obvious was ADHD 🤷‍♀️

      Thank god I live in Australia. Hearing of people having to wait in a queue for 1+ years is baffling to me. It's really awful. Did you end up getting on medication? For me vyvanse was game changing. I'm pretty much useless without it, and just wish I had started it earlier in my life, could've prevented so much suffering and failure.

    I am always very confused about the figures for children and adults. My understanding is that if you have ADHD you have a lifelong condition. They say less adults have it than children which makes no sense. Adults may not be diagnosed because until recently it was alnost impossible to get a diagnosis, especially if you are female. Adults may be better at masking but that doesnt mean you don't still have it and masking is very unhealthy.

      Other ADHD’ers suggested speeding up video playback times and man oh man is that a game changer! Before I thought to do that and the presenter talked too slow, I’d just click off the video.

    What is adhd: coming late
    Anything else? They can be sooo good in riskmanagement because they think all of these thoughts and go down all those different paths what can happen.
    Relly? Relly?
    Please you dont understand adhd thats the most trivial shit i have ever heared off call those people something else.
    Adhd is feeling terrible about things you want to to, having a brain that does not want to cooperate and u trying to work with it.
    This means more pain, less social intuition and intuition in generall like someone that has sleept 2 hours 10 days in a row is sick and depressed but even then im not sure normal people feel as shit
    And its a spectrum so the mildest people are the most motivated they are gona be the loudest as to what adhd is.

    I never hate my ADHD. I hate the word suffer. I never did suffer. For adhd. See the profits dat ADHD gives you.
    1: never boring.
    2: always active.
    3: we are loyal.
    4: we are creative.
    5: we like to think outside the box.

      You’re lucky, because I:
      1) can’t control my emotions when not under medication and hurt people that I love the most by lashing out for no reason;
      2) act without thinking of the (too real) consequences;
      3) quit school when I was 16 (I was diagnosed this year at almost 50);
      4) wasted most of my life by not being able to finish anything and didn’t had a real career even if I’m super talented at a lot of things (being ADD);
      5) can’t come to terms with all of this happening to me (realization) when most of my active life is behind me and it’s too late to plan for long term.
      So yeah. It’s all about perspective.
