    I think an ADHD & ASD assessment should be done on every child before they start school. Knowing that your brain works in a different way could be a life changing event for a lot of kids. Maybe, it would keep some kids out of jail and off drugs. I was undiagnosed till 59 and, my life has been a roller-coaster ride straight through hell.

      The evidence in the Tylenol Autism cases was found to be inadmissible in court, because none of the expert witnesses could offer a sound scientific methodology to link autism and Tylenol.
      My family has recognizable autistic traits going back to the Old World, long before Tylenol was around, and most people I know who are autistic can say similar things about their families.

    I have autism, and ADHD and possibly OCD and C-PTSD. My main diagnosis is Avoidant Personality disorder. These wonderful problems were discovered when I was 61 years old. I'm unable to have adult personal relationships. This leaves me alone and depressed. I turn 70 this year. I Don't know if anyone understands loneliness like I do.

      I'm autistic too, I've been diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder with obsessive-compulsive traits, persistent depressive disorder, intellectual giftedness and I'm also candidate for avoidant personality disorder diagnosis (and sometimes I also suspect having ADHD). I'm 27, and a couple months ago I went through a traumatic experience about romantic relationships (basically unrequited feelings, as it has always been) and now I'm totally afraid of acquaintances, but at the same time the idea of ending up lonely terrifies me. I think I can grasp a little bit of your experience, but I wish you to find a way out of loneliness very soon.

The ACE test (Adverse Childhood Experiences) tells us that in the simplest of forms. It crazy that I'd never heard of it until working in behavioral health. Now I give printouts of it as I work with people actively using drugs. People say a lot about "labels" but without a diagnosis, education on the diagnosis, how it affects one's life, how to cope, the importance of medication we're not teaching people the skills they need to live an abundant life.

    I thought it weird that I was in my late 50s before my diagnosis was changed from major depressive disorder to bipolar disorder, fortunately Type 2. This explains what was going on with me. I now take two antidepressants and a mood stabilizer. I was depressed as a child but my mother’s shame was such that I had to reach the age of majority, get my own health card and seek treatment. She was unmoved by a suicide attempt. Fortunately for people suffering today the mental health stigma of yesteryear has largely subsided.

      I think that's gonna be highly contingent upon the diagnostician. In my mental health practice we base diagnosis off symptoms not on family history. With bipolar you wouldn't diagnose someone simply because they reported a manic episode either you've have to have witnessed the person in this phase or other mental health professionals. I've seen many malingerers claiming to have mental health conditions on accounts of run ins with the police & so forth so it's something we're very mindful of - ie people using mental illness as a defence. I've yet to work with a psychiatrist that diagnosed purely based on family history. The main problem appears to be in the physical health domain where a physical illness is subject to diagnostic overshadowing - ie someone who actually has anaemia is instead told they're going through a depressive episode. Of course both could be true but I see physical health symptoms being dismissed a lot especially if you have a severe & enduring mental illness. I am one such person.

      I wish they were readily available in my place.
      Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
      He's constantly talking about killing someone.
      He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.

    Just been to a psychiatrist today. Methotrexate worsened my pre-existing negative, hopeless or violent thoughts, and I've had these once before to the point I had to take an antidepressant. Nobody in my family has an established mental health diagnosis but me. Yet, my grandmother tried to kill herself once and poorly controls her anger, while one of her daughters displayed a lot of signs of something. Yet, she could only be tricked into visiting a psychiatrist once - he thought it was maybe borderline personality disorder.
    I don't think my problems will ever go away without medication, sadly. It's a good thing I'm unlikely to have children. Living with my "unique" brain is taxing. Oh, well. Instead of a cat I'm not allowed to own by the landlords, I get to know someone named fluvoxamine. I guess it'll have to do.

    Yes, after my diagnosis of autism, it's crystal clear to me that my dad is also autistic, and his dad (my granddad) as well, although they will probably never get diagnosed. I'm the first in my family to be diagnosed, but I feel I won't be the last. A cousin told my siblings she thinks she might be autistic too and, looking at the past, that's quite likely.

    • @Tified967
      @Tified967 13 дней назад

      For me it has brought no clarity as I appear to occupy this grey zone between autistic & neurotypical as I understand social situations implicitly (ie I don't meet the DSMS core deficits but I have contentions about the biomedical model as it operates under the presupposition that we're all one homogeneous group). Autism is very likely a number of different neuridivergencies that share underlying aietiogies & genes whereas some don't. So effectively they could be different phenotypes altogether). Do you think your family members all present the same or are there differences? I believe my great aunt was autistic but a completely phenotype to myself and thus cognitively the antithesis to myself, I probably have more in common with neurotypicals; she was very black/white in her thinking, was obsessed with routines, rigid, struggled with societal interactions but had no sensory issues or executive dysfunction. I'm the complete opposite to this. I've found most people acceptive of their diagnosis but for me it's just raised more questions than it's answered. I never should have pursued the diagnosis when I was severely depressed.

    Thankyou so much for making this, ive been trying to convince my family for years to get assessed for their ADHD and they refuse to do anything about it because they are allowing themselves to stay trapped in that stubborn belief that they can do and must do everything without any help.
    So they can get the maximum possible achievement sense and thus more dopamine to convert into norepinephrine to increase executive function, but of course that doesn't always work.
    And the older we become the harder it will become, because unfortunately we cannot stay so busy to compensate for the lack of norepinephrine conversion anymore.
