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.* In a hurry? See that point at min 4.30.

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 do pop over to my professional training site http://www.corebrain.org for considerably more referenced details. The theme there: global medical citizenship through improved mind science initiatives.

I watched this earlier this year when I scored high for for ADD. I went from 40mg to 50mg Vyvanse, 50mg no joke. If I don't take it b4 I leave the house & eat healthy breakfast as early as possible, its a bad day. Lying down when I get home, nearly fainting omw to get food and water. Women w/adhd led me to your talk radio RE: Immunity Brain Function. Big fan of neuroscience so its like a eureka/dumb moment. Seattlelite - vitamin d deficiency, tree nut & fish allergies. Woopie /sarcasm

I should supp this by saying I was one of those 'workaholics' in my 20 somethings when it comes to employment. Medication does help me control impulses and thought processes is much more efficient, but its my working memory that I am most happy about. Vyvanse as breakfast is like nascar race with no pit stops and as I said, I tend to over-achieve at work. Sometimes I cant stop EVEN when I say ' I better break or ill never...' It can be hard to fight when you have problems 'letting go'.

Self esteem can become exceedingly mixed up with dosage strategies - as objectives become far more intense when you realize you actually can get them done!

Don't forget to check for the New Jersey Trifecta - often seen in this order of frequency: Milk, Eggs, Wheat... type "IgG" into CorePsych Blog for tons more info on neurotransmitter imbalances and immunity.

You're on it Jack - and once you see it you're deeper than 90% of the diagnostic platitudes out there... brain function will take everyone closer to their personal mind reality, appearances are only candles on the cake.

Not only are your words "cognitive anxiety/overabundance" how it is, your explanation of the likelyhood of ssri/snri ( effexor in my case) being a player in this, the severe acute memory loss stuff going on , and recognizing it now, totally backs that up. Its' real and happenning alot. Did 2 hours psychological testing last Fri. I'm sure your familiar with them all , the cubes,numbers,spacial, I.Q, walked in fine, focused, 2 hrs later, overstimulation, forgot jacket ,water, coffee ,fogged out

[JackMack02660]

Yes, I understand, just a marker showing tendencies? not in concrete.. I'm gratefull that you respond and care and at some point in the future purchase your Book, as a tangible"thank you"..Its' been an interesting jouney in recovery(just finished a 12 week Nami-cape cod sponsered free thing) Structure and known outcomes.. not bad for a change..! Recognition is great and all , now its "what am I gonna do about it ", I hope logic and measured steps, which are slightly better, become real for me TY

[DrCharlesParker]

Personality tests are helpful to identify some of the targets, but often miss important questions like how many x/day #2? ;-)

[JackMack02660]

Yes,Yes..Excellent metaphors..spot on..Its' all about coping mechanisms now..and living in the now..losing impulsivity and KNOWINg when to take a step back when SEVERAL thoughts start to take one out of reality a bit..Did the Meyers-Briggs personality test..very accurate..ISFJ..Slight on the introvert,moderate on the sensing and judging...77, extremely high on the "feeling" ..makes sense,,I am and go as I feel..Feel the disarray,,well,I am ..Feel okay,i am..wow Ty again,jack
