As a guy with adhd myself, Mike's dx does not surprise me. He strikes me as a high stimulation seeker, albeit toned down with age and channeled into positive pursuits. Whatever his struggles in the past, I think some of the adhd characteristics nicely feed in to the fun, edgy parts of his personality.

I'd love for Dr. Mike to have a conversation with Dr Russell Barkley about ADHD. He's probably one of the most renowned experts in ADHD and approaches it with a keen evidence-based eye and compassion.

I think they could do a lot to talk about ADHD, personal experiences living with ADHD, how symptoms come and go for most people over the course of their lives, and the research of exercise and ADHD.

I have been diagnosed with ADHD when I was like five years old and eventually they told me I need to take other things like Focalin or Ritalin or other other ADHD medication that give you anxiety they don’t give you an appetite. Low sex drive your focused as hell and yeah, it works, but you don’t feel like you’re human when you have ADHD your mind races your body races. Your decision-making can be influenced, but to be honest if you’re a good person and you’ve been studying the arts of social cues and have been around people for a long time and have good parents and a good community. The ADHD will actually be your greatest weapon because you can use it in. The most best situation is ADHD is basically a defense mechanism against hard decisions and you can use that and twist it if you train yourselfyou don’t need drugs to handle it

My parents were overly praising me when I was a kid, saying even things that weren't fully true.
Later when reality hit and I realized a lot of it is just made up by them and I have problems that contradict those things, for an amount of time I just didn't want to tell them not to break their heart.
Physical health, ADD, and lots of random specific things included.
In my view it was an unspoken mutually agreed upon domestic narcissism that ran in the family, especially my dad, where they constantly made up things to brag with, and got attached to it via lots of repetition.
It feels good to believe those things, but once you realize they are not true, you'll have a serious identity crisis, as I needed to have multiple times.

I didn't even know I had adhd, I was just told that I was a stupid idiot.

can you make a deeper dive into ADHD? do you have any opinions on it? since it's a spectrum where does it end and regular procrastination starts? there is the inattentive type that sometimes comes up later in adulthood when people have added responsibilities. I was told by a general practitioner there is a chance i have it based on my history (university and work), but i can't help but think im just making up excuses.

I know people are well meaning when they push skills, tools, techniques, and mindset for ADHD. However, ADHD brains are literally different in form and function.

Relying solely on mindset for ADHD symptoms is like asking a Type 1 diabetic to will power up better pancreas function.

If only we had conscious control of our neurochemicals. Then, try harder might actually work.

It’s not an old school thing. It’s a sentiment that’s still very much alive in Russia to this day, much to the detriment of those in desperate need of mental health treatment.

Most of those medications are awful and should only be given as a last resort not first option for quick fixes so many Americans demand.

Everyone that I knew when I was young that took adhd medications eventually became full-blown drug addicts. Maybe it's not the best idea to give pharmaceutical grade amphetamines to children.
