ADHD- Late Diagnosis 3. Emotions

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/07/04

ADHDers who are late diagnosed have a number of emotional difficulties because of growing up thinking the problems caused by ADHD were their fault. Thinking if you only tried harder or “just pay better attention (my personal favorite—I had a teacher of a child diagnosed with ADHD actually write this in his report card) things in your life would improve, but also thinking its your fault if they don’t, leads to a lot of negative emotions.

ADHD - Late Diagnosis II Self-Esteem

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/06/27

Probably the biggest difficulty growing up with ADHD, u treated is what that does to an individual’s self-esteem. When you get 70 critical comments a day. When you’re trying to succeed in an educational system that wasn’t designed for your kind of brain. When you’re surrounded by people, particularly adults, who don’t understand ADHD. When you’re trying to survive in these circumstances, it is difficult to develop a positive self-concept.

ADHD-Late Diagnosis-1 Consequences

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/06/20

Of all the ADHDers I’ve seen in my office over the years, the ones in the most distress are almost always the folks that were diagnosed or treated later in life-from their 20’s and on. They usually had significant amounts of anxiety, depression and/or anger. This is the first episode in a series of shows about the special problems of ADHDers who are diagnosed late.

ADHD - Getting to Sleep is So Boring

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/06/13

It’s well known that difficulty getting to sleep is common with ADHDers. I assume it was related to dopamine depletion when my wife, from a whole family of ADHDers said that she found getting to sleep to be boring! This was a totally new concept to me, but well worth considering.

ADHD - If I’d Only Known Then…

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/06/06

I’ve been treating and diagnosing ADHD and raising ADHD kids for almost 50 years. When I started there was no such thing as ADD of ADHD, very limited research, very limited evaluation techniques (think Tests) and not much public knowledge about ADHD. As a result, I’m trying to raise kids and didn’t know what I was dealing with, so I made all the mistakes you can make. I was too strict, too impatient and perhaps too demanding. I didn’t understand that I was dealing with a whole different

ADHD-What’s the Problem with Medication

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/05/30

ADHD is most treatable disorder in the Diagnostic Manual, if you include the use of medication, principally stimulants combine with therapy.

ADHD-Diagnosing Adults

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/05/23

ADHD originally was seen as a childhood disorder. Now we know ADHD persists throughout life, but the diagnostic criteria is still based on children. This presents a problem for us diagnosticians. We know that the overt hyperactive tends to diminish in adulthood and primary symptoms are the so-callled inattention symptoms. The usual practice in diagnosing is to make the diagnosis with fewer symptoms than the diagnostic manual recommends. There is some relief coming with a new set of criteria

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/04/18

Partners first and ADHD children next have to learn to accept the difficulties and benefits of ADHD.

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/04/18

Parents of ADHD kids frequently feel guilty and/or inadequate because of their child’s behavior. They feel responsible and, indeed, most of us have a helpful relative or neighbor who is more than willing to tell us that all we need to do is use a little more discipline and all our problems will be solved. First, ADHD is a neurologic disorder that is genetic, so our parenting did not cause the ADHD. But we are still responsible for getting our children appropriate treatment and teaching them

ADHD- What do you expect?

Dr G"s ADHD Chat ·

2024/04/11

ADHD kids get an average of 70 critical comments per day. They are taught in a system that isn’t designed for their unique nervous system. They are taught and coached by individuals who , on the whole, don’t understand what they’re dealing with. The educational system has also fallen in love with homework and frequently think academic improvement comes from increased amounts of homework. And we’re surprised when our ADHD children get frustrated and rebellious.

Adolescence is a rough time for ADHDers. They want all the trappings of Adulthood but are three years behind their peers in terms of maturity.

Because they have such poor executive skills, ADHDers rely on checklists, whiteboards and timers- external aids to executive functioning. This program will explore this area in more detail.
