Identifying ADHD (Mental Health Guru)

[MyBloodyValentine011]

I have ADHD and Dyslexia. :-/

It was passed down from my uncle :-P

[AndrewWerdna1000]

Do they have any videos of hypochondria on here? rofl!!!

[MrLiamHenderson]

"Impatience, fidgeting and an inability to focus" Huh.... just a normal child then.

[MusicFantagePixies]

@MrLiamHenderson ADHD/ ADD children deal with it all the time. its like this,

Mother: Hi sam, how's school?

Sam: It was great, I like jam tarts, peanut butter goes well with em... wait, what'cha ask me again?

[drdeee6]

i think everyone has adhd

[RewhRyu]

What's wrong with ADHD? Yes, i do have it, but im actually good with it. I like showing people the hyper, twitchy side of me then for the pills to make me quiet and obedients. I am also a prodigy in music because my ADHD makes me learn more music then math and all the boring education. Thumbs up if u have ADHD!

[ARSEBISCUIT00]

@dbilleaux im from the UK and so many of my friends have it, DICKHEAD. its so comon in the uk

[DaN3wKiDd]

Go to your address bar, after the word YOU and before the word TUBE, type in "win" then press enter

[bellareviews]

This video was really helpful for my son who was just diagnosed with adhd. I got to ask a teacher questions to help my son with school: mommyalertadhd(dot)com

Hope this helps someone

[joshuaps3kid]

I just thought it was called bad parenting...

[BerneBaby]

ILLUMINATI :O

[christianz2010]

@BerneBaby wtf? where?

[sierra2007pch]

i have a 2 almost 3yr old son,can someone tell me how where their adhd kid was when he was my sons age.. i think my son could have this but i think he is too young to know hes cry alot when he doesnt get what he wants and dont seem to understand what im telling him..

[fra1989]

@sierra2007pch ADHD has always existed. With advanced technologies and knowledge it is now being recognized. It is a serious problem that can be seen within a child during their toddler years - 5yrs. If you suspect your child shows these symptoms it's important you get him/her tested. ADHD affects a child in the classroom. If your child is 2 years old, it would be great to get him/her tested before going to school, so they can get the help needed.

[Silenus6]

Our culture is the problem, not the individuals who "need" to be drugged in order to fit into it. "It is no measure of health, to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society." (krishnamurti) Look up: Dr. Peter Breggin. Also: Healing Cancer From Inside Out, and When Healing Becomes A Crime

[Girlsk8er14]

they should calm down or get popped in the mouth, ADHD my ass

[natesmom2244]

@Girlsk8er14 adhd is a neurological problem.. could even be hereditary from generations of family who may have had severe childhood illnesses that were never treated properly and passed on.

[SuperSbowers]

Ever heard the phrase, " It is better for a fool to keep his mouth shut, than to open it and remove all doubt."? Many of you should apply this ... think it over.

[JDoubleOP]

ADHD symptoms are all assumptions and never been proved and made up by some chemical companies who are making billions out of it. Dumbing down society. Please don't harm your kids with chemicals. Look at the rootcause of the behaviour of your kid. Too much TV(stressfull cartoons), computergames, food(E-nrs., sweeteners, to much food, sugar. Their minds should have more rest. Look at the basics of life, you don't have all the things mentioned above created in our society(monetary system).

[Xxfancythat79xX]

my son may have adhd or autism - he is on a waiting list to be assessed. Whatever the diagnosis is, I will not be putting him on any medication as I totally disagree with it. There are other alternatives to drugs...

[pouchedrattie]

@Xxfancythat79xX That's how I feel with my 5 year old. he's in school and they're working with him with the knowledge he has ADHD.

[TheCobraUK]

Never mind giving parents an excuse to be lazy and never control their kids. I'm bloody sick of Social workers always making up an illness because "simply the kids are little bastards" It didn't exist in my day and neither anyone around me. The best cure is a good clip around the ear! But the lazy crap parents are happy to feed drugs to their kids......thats easier than putting your foot down eh, I mean, you might have to actually get up off that couch and do something!

[CatsRcute03]

I'm ADHD, but I don't take medicine. I just stay hyper, I don't really care. :)

[djvalis]

What a EVIL ploy to get kids on drugs.. horrible.. all the psychiatrists out there who push this..... GO TO HELL!

[elizabeth5080]

It exists in Canada as well

[nishell3200]

I get really hyper at times... and i have trouble doing my work in class cuz i get distracted alot.... i can get fidgety at times...

[CoverTracks]

I think Im got this disorder. First, all my life I struggle with concentration difficulties, im severly distract and also im impulsive and impacient (but not sure with hyperactiviness ). This really cause problems in my education, now a specialist make me do some weird test for examine my personality, and my brain capacities.

[natesmom2244]

@CoverTracks i have the same issues since 1st grade.. i am now 28 . In the early days of ADD or ADHD when it wasnt too well known they associated it with Lead poisoning which is something i had at age 5 it can cause permanent neurological damages.. something to consider.

[tcw00]

@CoverTracks Same with me 

[IAmMrChainSaw]

ADHD is a false disorder.

[thecatfish111]

Give me one shred of conclusive evidence that would suggest that.

[MINICLIPGAMER]

hmm, it might be real, but I think its how you were taught.

[phct]

were all "ADD" in some way

[phct]

its a made up disorder

[bluemeany]

Bull shit, I am very adhd. Whether its a disorder or just personality. My adhad symptoms are very real. You don't know what you're fucking talking about.

[phct]

man , i was diagnosed with add/adhd when i was 7. I think its just another way for pharmaceutical companies to make money. by the way, DO NOT TAKE THE LEGAL SPEED, IT CAUSES HEART ARRHYTHMIA.

[phct]

I can still remember, my parent had gotten me a trampoline at the age of 6, learned a triple backflip by the age of 12. I hurt myself so many times on that trampoline... then i became an aggressive rollerblader, won some competitions and I owe it all to my ADHD( The trampoline had taught me how to fall properly too.). maybe pro skiers are all ADHD, but they had certain avenues of learning from their parents, I don't know. I still call my parents crazy for letting me have that trampoline.

[guiyees]

ADD and ADHD means "hyper active" kids? can someone tell me the whole medical of that

[vivadeisaso101]

your on youtube look it up 8\

[tinysstupidstunts25]

My mum runs a support group for mothers or fathers with children with ADHD and trust me the stories they tell are so bad mums are trying to kill themselves dont dont tell me ADHD needs medication DONT TAKE RITALIN

[Animalll2003lll]

so what are you saying basically? mums want to kill themselves, but what does it have to do with adhd? and why not take ritalin?

[amplrg2]

in the begining the thing that comes out looks liek a giant red dildo...nd

i dnt have it but i think i do.

[dbilleaux]

ADD and ADHD only exists in the US. No other country acknowledges it to be real. Sorry, I think it's very wrong to put 10 year olds under a medication that will fuck up their synaps for the rest of their life.

[bizaromatt]

whats a synap? and is it bad if its fucked up?

[Zimmilferentient]

it has something to do with depression, and yes. it is bad.

[thedorkfilms]

i started taking meds for it when i was 7 and i turned out fine

[SureBarbie]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH youre a hoe

[epithany2000]

Hi. My son was diagnosed and I am having a hard time dealing with having my child on meds. Can you shead some light? What is my son really going through?

[phct]

My father had some problems with me on meds . I'm 23 now, diagnosed when I was 7. haven't been on adderoll since 2000. The best way to describe it...well, get on your kids level, become a kid. When they start growing up, just let everything runs its course. I grew out if it. I guess I just had to learn the real responsibilities of life. Were late bloomers. I felt like my brain had come all " together:" when I was about 22. I hope that made some sense, it did in my mind, lol.

[anchoviss]

@dbilleaux we have the same problem here in germany as well. the teachers of my 2 1/2 year old boy from kindergarten wanted me to give him adhd medication because he could not eat his meals without talking! it´t much easier for the society to handle children who behave like robots or sleep all day long! many parents are also willing to go the easy way and give their children drugs to solve all the problems they might have!

[XtraFunny1017]

@dbilleaux Hey!

[delarhuc]

@dbilleaux I think people need to be careful with the diagnosis however, I have ADD and Ritalin saved my life! It sounds dramatic but without Ritalin I would never have got through school and made the realisations I had to make to control it.

I am 25 now and still suffer badly. Thankfully my friends and family are aware of how to cope with me but it still takes me a little longer than most to realise what I have done. ADD is very real, very real indeed for some people.

[elizabeth5080]

It exists in Canada as well

[janejanejane7]

@dbilleaux

Agreed!!

When my European friends come here, they never fail to comment on how hyper and drugged up Americans seem to be.

[rawramz666]

@dbilleaux thats boolocks :') my im from england and i think i have it, my ex was the 1 who made me realise it because we are alot alike and he has both ADD and ADHD and he also has ODD :) so yes =) america isnt special at all

[Sycopathio]

@dbilleaux dude like 5% of the kids in my school have add/adhd

[thepsychotichatter77]

@dbilleaux actually thats bullshit most other countries acknowledge that it exists, and sometimes, giving the kid the medication is better than fucking up their life through social ostracism and an inability to succeed in school because of being distracted. That should screw them up way worse than any decent medication could.

[robertbeckius]

@dbilleaux Are you fking retarded?

Im swedish, I got my diagnosis when i was 5-7 years old.

AND IM 16 NOW,

[supimdavin]

@dbilleaux I can't agree more.

[polyzoet]

@dbilleaux I live in Europe, and ADHD is very recognized here too. and is also treated.

I do not know where you got your information, but it is not correct! 

[fra1989]

@dbilleaux Incorrect, ADCD is recognized in many other countries. In fact not all ADHD patients are given medication.

[Defor11dog]

@dbilleaux Only the US? My brother was diagnosed in Belgium by an English doctor so that means that other countries must accept it to be a mental condition. Not only US?

[Korvmannen]

@dbilleaux That's complete BS and you know it. (From Europe)

[misspulliplolita]

@dbilleaux Since when does it only exist in the US?

In canadian there are many people who have ADD and ADHD.. I think you

are on drugs my dear

[silver997]

@dbilleaux Well I guess it only exists in North America, cuz Canada acknowledges this disorder too. But you have a point, I've never heard about this anywhere else except for in Canada and the U.S.

[claudelebel55]

@dbilleaux very much present here in Quebec. A great way of disempowering people - tell them there is something wrong with them. Check out --> ADHD Consensus Conference - 1998 and watch the prescriber of drugs demonstrate how little he knows, if anything. My understanding is that ADHD does not exist - the symptoms OK, but we all have these symptoms to a greater or lesser extent depending on what we are going through at the time. This does not make it a disease. That is the lie.

[1Deltarider]

@dbilleaux It doesn't only exists in the US! What are you on about!?

[MusicFantagePixies]

@dbilleaux what are you talking about, countries all over the world acknowledges it to be real. in fact in most cases, medication will only be prescribed if it is severe. for moderate and mild cases, therapy is enough. you obviously don't have ADD or ADHD. if you give an ADHD / ADD child medication, they can concentrate and live normal lives, give it to a normal child, they are the ones who go hyperactive.its like epilepsy. get your facts right. sheesh...

[multimarzzz]

@dbilleaux in the netherlands, belgium, germany and all the other european countries it exists too :s

[jb200930]

@dbilleaux since when did ADHD/ADD exist only in the US?

[Nemesis0508]

im a girl btw... and all of my friends tell me all the time im hyper...stop looking for attention...but i cant stop... they get angry at me... :(:(

[Nemesis0508]

how do i know if i have ADHD... when i was little i wuz very hyper active...my mother used to put water in everything i drink...and now im 16 and im still very hyper active... sometimes i cant focus...one day i wake up hyper hyper...and one day i wake up calm down but i do stupid things...i get allot of attention so im not looking for attention

[BUMFLUFF44]

I HAVE ADHD. FUCK LYFS HARD!!!!!!

[Kaggome9021]

Not true asshole. I have ADHD. Innatentive. and its hard to deal with so shut up

[paliver]

@Kaggome9021 why so rude? I dint sayed any thing...

[Mattyew]

adhd is something made up so that pharmaceutical companies can sell more drugs plain & simple!

[poetryman103]

DUDE NO IT IS NOT

[Mattyew]

oh, okay. Sorry. I didn't realize that "DUDE, IT ISN'T"

[xTate95]

hey fuck you i have adhd im 13 its fucking hard growing up with it you dont know what its like if u did u wouldnt dream of saying shit like that

[Mattyew]

what the fuck? I have "ADD" but I don't tell people I have it because it doesn't need a fucking label, nor does anyone need to label themselves with it. It's not a bad thing to have a short attention span you fuckwit...pharmaceutical companies say it's bad so that you buy their meds but if it really fucked with your life it's because you lack discipline or were raised by people who were way too timid. I'm not your psychiatrist but it's not hard having "ADD" unless you're retarded

[CanadianGrown]

Nice video.
