ADHD OCD Anxiety Diagnosis? Brain Function Beyond Labels

http://www.corepsychblog.com/2011/12/adhd-and-cognitive-anxiety/ ADHD Medication Dosage Strategies too often overlook this Important OCD-like presentation - Cognitive anxiety is the most frequently overlooked subset of ADHD and isn't in the current diagnostic manual - *the Paleolithic Bible* - this video gives just a quick overview of the anxiety section in my new eBook: "ADHD Medication Rules" Available here: http://bit.ly/medrules "OCD" may in fact arise from ADHD!

My new book *ADHD Medication Rules* discusses the OCD/ADHD question in detail. It will be a game changer and is available here: http://bit.ly/medrules - So many forget that reality does change, and that the body is, in fact, connected to the mind! - Imagine that! Basic metabolic, body-related imbalances often have far reaching effects that encourage *unpredictable outcomes* with medication management. And if that "OCD" is treated with antidepressants, but is really ADHD, you will miss the target and be worse off than when you started! OCD medicines make ADHD far worse as the work on a completely different part of the brain, on a *completely different neurotransmitter system.*

Just think about this point: How many with ADHD are treated with stimulant meds - without paying attention to the specific cognitive attention-related targets? The short answer: Thousands!! Get it right - start with the ADHD Medication Tutorial series linked below.

My point on this: Many are treated for thinking problems - without specific thinking about the thinking process. This is beyond abysmal, this is simply bad medicine, and btw, it is the current standard of care in the USA! Outrageous.

How can anyone get the meds right without *precise biologically based targets?* See this link for all eight YouTube videos I've produced on this subject - a useful ADHD Medication Tutorial - here: http://bit.ly/medtutr Take the time and go through them, no cost, no email, just complimentary to help you understand problems that may need to be addressed and corrected.

Thanks for watching, more vids are coming so do subscribe to this channel, and tell your friends - there is a real ADHD Medication science out there, it's simply under appreciated, and, regrettably, disdained by too many who are simply uninformed. If you are a professional and find these observations helpful pop over to my professional training site http://www.corebrain.org for considerably more referenced details.

Dr, Parker--thank you so much for your video blogs. Between this one here and the "avoidance" video, you have explained my issues precisely. It's been difficult to find a doctor who sees this with me, primarily because i am not physically jittery, and I can answer their questions quickly, but they're not exactly the "right" answers, the "truth", for me. So they push anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds, I politely decline, and leave frustrated and depressed. I wish I lived closer to your office...

@lambymorreale These two subsets are, without doubt, the most frequently missed ADHD subsets, the most frequently overlooked executive function disorders on the planet. You are in big numbers company, as those two subsets are the ones I routinely see on "complex" second opinions. - Not so complex if you can see the path.

Thanks Dr. Parker, You nailed it with your descriptions ,AND what responses and behaviors are associated with an ocd/add/adhd/anxiety condition. I had been diagnosed bi-polar couple years ago... i knew that wasn't right, because of that mental ocd aspect that had manifested to mask an extreme fluctuation in mood . So yes,thought patterns ,behaviors and the huge anxiety factor..so i guess i gotta own it now, and at 44, the regrets..cpippling..

@JackMack02660 Hey Jack, just remember this less complicated point: You have but one life - think of the thousands that have completely passed in years gone by with never a twit of recognition that their challenges were correctable. They died thinking they were stupid, bad, guilty, and irresponsible - you have a new life and speaking from my aging perspective, you are a young guy with many miles to go before you sleep. Carry on!

[JackMack02660]

[DrCharlesParker]

@JackMack02660 Never heard the comparison to Pres Bush - certainly can't hurt being

compared to the Pres, unless I get caught not remembering what I am talking about!

[JackMack02660]

@DrCharlesParker Also, is it typical for thoughts to be exaggerated and overwhelming?

[NyraLunaEXE]

@DrCharlesParker @DrCharlesParker Ah! That makes more sense! I have a bit of OCD with ADHD, so I constantly mental check or mental track to see if the objects, tasks etc. trigger thoughts or images. I am having a lot of trouble breaking those habits. Yes, that seems to be the stereotypical "ADHD" person nowadays. :/

[DrCharlesParker]

@NyraLunaEXE The mental checking is quite typical of the cognitive abundance - almost anything can trigger this phenomenon - it irritates me that so many raise the poor choice of humor about flashy objects when in fact anything not nailed sufficiently down may stimulate more efforts at understanding and control.
