No, I believe they are a different type of post altogether.

According to Dr Russell Barkley, there are genetic tests that can really help identify which drugs you are likely to respond to.

The inability to self-soothe and therefore outburst when you have emotions is an executive dysfunction that is definitely part of ADHD. As others have said, the degree to which you feel the emotions may have other components, but the inability to quell or redirect your emotions is definitely a normal ADHD symptom.

I’ve largely done those things too until I got diagnosed, at 27. Since then I did adderall on and off, it works decently for me, however, the effects on my mood as it drains out of my system are not great. Mostly, I become extremely irritable. Lately I’ve been reading and watching more about ADHD, and Russell Barkley really changed the way I see the issue. I, now more than ever, see ADHD as a chemical shortcoming of my brain and I’m really pursuing the right drug or combination of drugs to deal with issues I’ve been failing to overcome for decades.

Dr Russell Barkley, a respected researcher in the field of ADHD, basically states that there is a chemical deficiency in your brain that makes it physically impossible for it to simply ‘be’ better, and that things like behavior modification have been shown to be helpful… almost exclusively when the subject is also on medication. And even when environmental changes can make a difference, it tends to fall on those close to the ADHDer to help set up those accommodations, at least with children. However, with adults there exist the same struggles, just to a /slightly/ lesser extent.

This kind of thing is why digital privacy is so important. But everyone is like “i have nothing to hide from the government”

Yeah the $ implies the word dollar, in this case becoming “239 billion dollars”

I think we’re on a downward trend on giving a shit about rich people. So, probably not.

I ended up watching the whole thing, and then again with my wife. Really solid lecture. I’m now subscribed to his youtube channel and have his book on my kindle, though I’ve only read a chapter in the last month.

I’m coming around to agreeing with you. But I feel like if I try to clarify and really understand I may end up offending someone. It’s hard to have these kinds of conversations online, with people who don’t know you or your intent.

I may be an imperfect ally, but I’m honestly trying.

The issue was the use of a specific word, that is now uncouth, but with which OP identifies. They claim to not know the word had fallen out of favor. Other than the word itself, I don’t think there was anything wrong with the comment they left.

Agree that it’s not much of a reason to avoid a piece of software. If anything an instance.

Dr Russell Barkley seems to be pretty against the idea of not taking meds. ADHD affects all parts of your life, and just because you don’t have school doesnt mean you dont have ADHD. Your brain works better on the drugs, you can be more responsible, put more effort into your hobbies, and take better care of yourself if youre on your meds.

Unless theyve got some real reason for suggesting that, you should probably get a new dr.

My understanding is that its a super common comorbidity (for people with Autism to have ADHD too, not the other way around)

bro… thats messed up.

I don’t care to use it, so I don’t. And I’ll speak up when I hear people (tbh this is mostly gaming online) when I hear the word used in a derogatory manner.
