ADHD is a misnomer that most scientists in the field want to change to something like executive function disorder. And the reason they are not changing it is mostly politics inside the DSM committee. It's way more complex than blaming a neurotransmitter or a network. I have treatment resistant ADHD and been researching and trying medications since I was 14, and now I'm 22 and barely started to see improvements after trying every f'ing psychoactive drug available in my country. I'm a software engineer and I have nothing to do with biology, but here is a small explanation from what I understand about the disorder: As for the dopamine hypothesis, research does show that ADHD has a lot of dopaminergic abnormalities, but that does not explain a lot. It also contradicts with a lot of other facts that we know about ADHD. For example, some ADHD drugs (e.g. Intuniv) and most of the ones that are being developed right now barely touch dopamine at all. And most of Parkinson's drugs that increase dopamine either don't show any benefit or a very small one and only rarely used to augment stimulants (i.e. amantadine). So how would the dopamine hypothesis explain that? And how do we explain the fact that drugs such as stimulants which are insanely powerful at increasing dopamine only helps about 80% of patients and out of these about 40% of them don't get full symptomatic relief. And how does the DMN abnormality explain a lot of the symptoms such as emotional dysregulation, time-management problems, delayed circadian rhythm phase (Up to 75% of adult patients), and motor coordination problems which are present in most ADHD patients? It's a very long subject, but the most recent explanations of ADHD is that it's an executive function disorder that affects all the functions related to goal-directed behavior. You can think of attention as the navigation system of your brain, that is always scanning the environment and once a stimulus is relevant to a goal, your brain releases dopamine which then increases the silence of that stimulus, which shifts your attention to it and allow you to sustain your attention and helps you problem-solve that task using your other executive functions (i.e. manipulating the environment according to your goals). And along this process, there are multiple parts of your brain that each has a role in this system. For example, if you get distracted by something that has an emotional component to it (i.e. anger at a coworker) usually the DLPFC is the part that allows you to inhibit that automatic response if inhibition was the preferred long-term response according to your goals (i.e. not getting fired). Now if the distraction is something such as an idea to go do something more rewarding (watch RUclips videos), then other parts of the PFC engage in a coordinated way to inhibit that behavior and go back to the task at hand. And the list goes on for other processes related to executive functioning such as planning, prioritizing and sustaining, and shifting attention, regulating alertness, and processing speed. So when we treat ADHD, we do our best to shift this abnormal connectivity closer to normal as much of that as possible. And this abnormal connectivity is slightly different for each patient, as ADHD is a "highly complex and heterogeneous disorder". Now obviously stimulants play a huge role which is why they are the first line medications, but most of the time patients need a combo of drugs such Intuniv+Stimulant, Strattera+Stimulant, Qelbree+Stimulant, etc. So that we cover as many affected areas as possible. And we have new drugs being developed that target totally different systems, such as H3 antagonists like Betahistine, and Nicotinic agonists like ABT-089. CBT also plays a huge role, although not very effective without medications. But studies show that the combination of CBT and stimulant treatment is more efficacious than either alone. And not any form of CBT, only the one designed specifically for ADHD, such as the ones developed by Russell Ramsay or Mary Solanto.

After learning more about ADHD I definitely think we should stop allowing psychiatrist to diagnose people, because ADHD is far beyond just simply behavior, it’s neurological.
I got tested for ADHD once (in 1 day) and they said I didn't have it, despite constantly fighting mentally to compete the tasks given to me. Most of the time, it takes A LOT of energy to focus and I find myself just "gone", staring blankly at my screen when reading something or following an online class. The movements of the teacher in an on site class keep me focused a little bit better (especially when there are no windows I can easily stare into without going owlish with my neck). I can be pretty impulsive (I will think I've thought about a decision long enough, no one else really agrees lol). I'm getting re-evaluated for autism/ADHD atm, we'll see how that goes...
Good luck! I got tested for aspergers at 16 and they said I didn't score highly enough on the one questionnaire they gave me. Fast forward ten years and after an extensive evaluation and many, many questions, I got diagnosed with autism. Sometimes you just slip through the cracks of the system and you have to try again to get the right answer.
@@Tay-wj9et thank you! Yeah I actually had high enough test results but due to my age they didn't want to confirm, but neither reject the possibility... This time my mum also had to fill in a questionnaire about my childhood, so that seemed more promising!
@@powerpuff_avenger definitely more promising if they sought a second opinion and actually looked for evidence from your childhood! I also got diagnosed with ADHD and they did the same for me, my mum and I had to fill in the same questionnaire online so they could compare our answers.
When I was going through my diagnosis as a kid, initially the neuropsychologist didn’t think I had it, because I’d performed well on the computer test they gave me. My mom, however, pointed out that the computer test was probably fun for me since it was like a game, so yeah I’d be able to focus well on it. After she explained to him all of the behaviors and struggles I had at school and at home, which this man couldn’t see for himself since he only interacted with me at wherever it was I went to be diagnosed, he decided to follow her judgement, because luckily he was wise enough to understand that my mother knew me way better than he did, and he could tell she knew what she was talking about. I’m thankful for both my mother, and the neuropsychologist who understood that while he was the expert in the science, my mother was the expert on me.
other mental health disorders can have similar symptoms to adhd as well. dealing with childhood trauma, for example, can lead to issues focusing and being present, impulsivity, zoning out/dissociating and feeling exhausted from completing daily tasks as well. you totally may have adhd though, and regardless getting multiple opinions from various mental health professionals could help ensure your struggles are being heard and diagnosed accurately.
I'm a med student and suspect I may have ADHD. But I can't seek support yet. Life can be so hard, especially with my grades falling and everyone keeps telling me to 'focus' more when I literally cannot.
Great video I feel i learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! If ADHD involves deficits with dopamine, I wonder if treatments for Parkinson’s which involves destruction of dopaminergic neurons, could help alleviate symptoms of adhd
Treatments for Parkinson's tend to have side effects that would likely outweigh any potential benefits for ADHD patients. These can include things ranging from sleepiness to compulsive behavior to movement-related issues. ADHD meds increase dopamine activity, but they also have other effects that likely contribute to their attention-promoting benefits. I would imagine they would be more effective than straight up dopamine agonists or drugs like L-DOPA when it comes to ADHD, with far fewer side effects.
I had ADHD in 1961 at St Pacal's Catholic School in Toronto, Ontario and my Nun teacher tried to beat it out of me with the strap, Scott, "Are you ready for your daily strapping?" but this dosen't even compare with the abuse dished out at the Residential Schools in CANADA on the indigenous young people at the time.
Got to the end of the video and realized I was lost in thought and didn't listen to a thing. I literally cant finish this video. This is the 4th time I had to replay it.
As someone with severe adhd that is in college to be in both pharmacology and neuroscience,After alot of thinking and personal feelings and experiences,i think its both genetic and how you grow up/how its managed throughout puberty.Now my hypothesis is people like me probably have a genetic mutation on Dopamine receptor D2,aswell as D1 and D4.I also believe People with adhd tend to have excess amounts of norepinephrine,dopamine within their synaptic cleft.People with severe adhd may also have tics,coming from rapid dopaminergic influxes.ALSO people with adhd have a higher chance for risk taking and addiction because Of Dopamine fluctuations,this is also due to a mutation in Monoamine Oxidase,allowing more monoamines to be in the blood.Lastly,my recent studies have shown that The striatum & Dorsolateral Prefrontal cortex in people with adhd functions both more effectively and neuroplasticity happens in a quicker manner.I believe the DLPFC is a bigggg target for this.
I just finished watching the video on Autism Spectrum Disorder, your video on Restless Leg Syndrome, and now this video on ADHD (in that order) I have all three of these, I also enjoyed the videos. The short form format helped me keep my attention on them.
As someone who was diagnosed with this in my 30's at first I felt validated, but as I have grown I have realized that there is a stigma associated with something that is a gift. IMHO, it is not a disorder. If for some reason you are in a career that it causes you trouble, then you merely picked the wrong career for your mental toolset. Would you expect a carpenter to be able to do his job with a plumbers tool kit? I think not. I was told in 1995 after a 3 month long study on adults with this condition that out of the 200 or so subjects that I was one of the two that had a "profound" case. Oh, wasn't that special? I was taking 15 mg of Dexedrine twice daily to be normal. Got really tired of that, but I noticed something, and it was not the squirrel outside the window, or the bug flitting around. It was the fact that when I was taking medication to be "normal", I found that my troubleshooting skills were way off. I found that I was taking 3-4 times as long to go through complex diagnoses of problems, so I ditched the spice and the next day I could see clearly the patterns involved in problems again. I could finally see how this brain I have, the one with low blood flow to the prefrontal cortex was a gift from God, to allow me to far surpass the normies at my job. In fact as I progressed through my career as a Industrial Controls Engineer I began to notice things like after 2 months on the job, I was travelling twice as much as others. They were doing the design work while I was the one going around solving the issues that have been going on for weeks or months. Not only could I solve the problems, I was solving issues that the original equipment manufacturers guys were having issues with. It was fun to walk into a plant at 10 am, and leave at 2:30 with the problem in my rear view mirror. Doctors, (Diagnosticians, Neurologists, etc...), Lawyers, and other careers can benefit from this type of brain as well. You ask why is that?? Well then, let me explain. You gain knowledge as you learn things, all of this ads up in your brain. As you "fix" problems, all of that is in there... Having a brain that can freewheel in the background and say, here are the twelve issues that we fixed in the past that were similar. Once it notices that it goes through and compares them to what you are facing and eliminates the poor choices, and gives you the best to ponder in your active brain. It also in another part of your brain taking the initial information you had about the problem and as you are going through the troubleshooting process, keeps repeating the going through old issues as the variables change. You are also troubleshooting ahead of the game, because your knowledge is leading your other background task down the paths that are most likely based on what you know and keep finding out about this issue. Until, you finally have the "aha" moment. This is also why you have learned that if someone says, "I checked that", or "I already did that", or anything similar that you just nod your head and proceed. Your reasoning is that if I do not recheck what they checked, I will not see the things that they SHOULD have noticed. Or, they did a poor job of checking. Regardless, ( Did you know that until recently irregardless was not really even a real word, but it finally got added to the dictionary a year or two ago). Regardless means "without paying attention to the present situation; despite the prevailing circumstances" so would irregardless mean "paying attention to the present situation; due to the prevailing circumstances"? oops Back on track Regardless of the reason that you do things in a certain way, (Look for the patterns), you will find them, you learn to excel because of and not in spite of this "disorder". You are not broken, defective or hindered by your thought processes and the way your brain works unless you believe it to be that way. Learn how to make it work for you and not against you. Oh, I still say the wrong things at the wrong time and get impatient and impulsive at times, but people know that I am ME, and it is acceptable to them.
My personal ADHD: jumping a LOT when excited or playing video games Needing to be multi tasking Stimming Sometimes focusing on tasks that involve plenty of movement (drawing, typing, video games, or making music)
@@janfal4252 I’ve got more symptoms, and some tend to be possibly for both ADHD and Autism, I probably also have autism, but ADHD is 100% genetic, Autism possibly is a skipping generations type of thing.
@VulpeculaVolo yep, it was a metaphor. I don't want you to feel attacked but I want to go straight to the point. Do you have any psychological condition? (Just out of curiosity, I like psychology)
My sister does that to Law and Order episodes she watches, she says it's to "cut down on watch time". Personally idk how she still understands what she's watching lol
I got to about 0:22 when i suddenly did the *back to reality head shake* as i said "wait, what??" realizing i had ALREADY zoned out. Oops. LMFAO Going back to finish watching now, then the COVID 19 video next. Post-COVID brain was like taking my usual ADHD and cranking it up from a level 10 to level 100. And the aphasia was horrible, very frustrating, and rather scary.... to know that you KNOW something, but its like totally random bits of data being corrupted or deleted from your harddrive.
god it feels weird having both ADHD and Autism. definitely makes it harder to pay attention sometimes, though doing hands-on stuff helps i guess. or just learning on my own
In terms of mapping of neuronal networks as brain structures and the functional networks of the brain, only dopaminergic system is understood as neuronal network for reward system. The rest of the brain functions are yet to be mapped to the structure; people are discussing about functional networks, but it may or may not correctly reflect the brain structures, while the latter is the real. With integrating current research methods, it may be possible to draw the blueprints of the brain of mammals. There is good understanding of nerve circuits of C. Elegans, which is a textbook example.
Awesome summary! Whenever I hear about the neurological causes of psychiatric conditions, my mind always goes to individual variability. It sometimes seems like neuroscience is trying to find single causes of conditions that may, in reality, be clusters of symptoms that each have different (though sometimes overlapping) causes. My guess is that neuroscience combined with genomics and behavioral genetics will start to show that. Thank you for your content!! By the way, I make neuroscience videos as well and I’m wondering if you’d ever be interested in doing an interview on my channel?
Yes, I agree about the origins of psychiatric conditions. There are likely multiple mechanistic pathways that can reach the same cluster of symptoms, and also it's likely that any single pathway can lead to multiple outcomes. It's a busy time for me right now since it's mid-semester (I'm a prof) and I'm in the midst of writing a book, but if we can look a little further off into the future I'd be happy to do an interview for your channel. Why don't you reach out to me at neurochallenged@gmail.com.
POV: you're looking for info about your ADHD and are suprised about the amount of "it's theorized" and "it's believed" and "it may" phrases in the video.
Because we don't know much about brains? Religion on the other hand claims to have all the answers when it has none for those that seek information about their brains.
i dont understand what "dopamine is often implicated in adhd" means. does increased adrenaline and dopamine somehow counteract genetics and epigenetics of individual or alter the atypical conectivity in default mode network?
It just means that atypical dopamine transmission is thought to play a role in ADHD. This idea first emerged when it was found that drugs that increase dopamine activity (such as amphetamine) could treat the symptoms of ADHD. For a while it was thus thought that ADHD might be caused by low dopamine levels, but this is now generally considered an oversimplification. Dopamine plays an important role in attention and increasing dopamine levels seems to increase attentive capabilities, but the precise role of dopamine in ADHD is still unclear.
@@neurochallenged I have adhd. When I look deep inside myself, I realize it's only 1 issue and that's a lack of dopamine. I constantly feel under-stimulated and a lack of motivation. In fact motivation and attention are highly correlated. If you lack motivation, you won't really focus on anything hence why the default mode network is so active in our brains. Due to a lack of focus, it causes symptoms like forgetfulness and disorganization. Due to a dopamine deficifncy, our brains tend to crave an activity that provides most dopamine in the shortest time possible which causes us to be impatient in every aspect of life causing symptoms like impulsivity, hyperactivity and irritability. A lot of people have considered me intelligent due to my good problem solving skills and the only reason for my underachievement despite my other cognitive abilities really seems to point towards a lack of dopamine which is a lack of motivation which results in me choosing laziness and instant gratifications over hardwork and delayed gratifications. So in short we are just lazy people whose reward systems are not easily impressed. But once something tends to catch our reward system's attention, we not only focus but reach to a state of hyperfocus which refers to extreme focus on every detail . Some may call this as an ADHD superpower. Again this display of addictive behaviour could be explained by us trying to make up for our lack of dopamine, however if channeled in the right path a person with ADHD can be super successful. However I think its better to live with a reward system that's impressed more easily, to live a simple, practical and better life and function like everyone else!
That might be another issue and it might be addictive personality problem not necessarily ADHD since that kind of problem doesn't occur in people with ADHD. Sure people with ADHD have problem with keeping attention, bad memory and are often hyperfocused at what interests them but never really struggle with something like addictive shopping that it gets out of their control.

All three of the references I've included in the video information emphasize the importance of genetic factors in ADHD and back up that statement in the video. Here is some text from one of those papers (Gallo & Posner, 2016) that includes a heritability estimate: "ADHD is a highly heritable disorder. Studies of twins, families, and adoptive children or siblings have estimated a heritability ranging from 60% to 90%." Full paper is here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4893880/
Yes! ADHD is hereditary, but for most parents, they see it as their " normal" so when their kids get diagnosed they don't understand the how or why. Also this is how some people find out that their biological parents are not really their parents. This happened to my best friend. As an example: I'm 45(F) my grandfather had ADHD, he was a math and history genius. My dad was born in a different country had ADHD, my mom born in the USA, me and all 3 of my kids have ADHD as well. They are 22,23,24 now. Some people for reference: *Dr. Sari Solden, *Dr. Michelle Frank, * Dr. Tamara Rosier. They've written great books and have amazing research. Also on RUclips: "How to ADHD" great channel.
what is the relation between ADHD and breathing incorrectly lets say whilst you are asleep? I heard that if people with ADHD get their breathing fixed adhd goes away! check it out!
I’ve heard that as ADHD is neurodevelopmental so brains don’t develop in the same way, but that this underdevelopment might be driven by something like insufficient brain energy (like ATP) like a problem with the mitochondria or metabolism of the brain (I think you only get mitochondria from your mom so I have questions considering how heritable the condition is). Also I understand that maybe there’s also some immune or inflammation thing that might be causing problems like cytokines or something. To me it seems that the immune system, the brain/ nervous system, and the metabolic system are maybe 3 of the most complex so I guess that might also be why it’s so tricky to understand what’s going. Also never mind the effects of hormones (like I feel like my menstrual cycle is forever gaslighting me by making my symptoms vary from devastating to kind of manageable and back again)
Great video. A couple of great books to check out. "A Radical Guide For Women With ADHD" By. Dr. Sari Solden and Dr.Michelle Frank. "You're Brain's Not Broken" By. Dr. Tamara Rosier. A great RUclips channel is " How to ADHD". I'm currently going to college for Psychology and Sexual Science with an emphasis in ADHD. I myself have ADHD as well.
What about a study showing that some people don’t listen to shit they don’t care about?? And then when the authority can’t handle it, we say the other person has a disease.
ADHD is not a disease, it's simply brain build different and thus works differently than average. People with ADHD can also often score higher in problem solving due to their ability to hyperfocus and better pattern reading. You viewing it as disease is showing ignorance which can be quite dangerous to people of any kind. Meds are simply to help them regain control over already differently working brain that simply doesn't allow them to function or outright make them unable to acquire things such as driving license or organized life. ADHD isn't something you catch it's a different brain structure from birth.
There's a lot of comorbidity between ADHD and ASD. It's entirely possible to have both, which is sometimes referred to as AUDHD. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that there was a proposal to merge ADHD into ASD as a subtype in the next DSM spec.
It also shows itself differently between sexes males are often more physically hyperactive as opposed to females where it exhibits more in a mental form. this makes sense between my adhd, asd, ocd, and other shit. This feels so correct lol. It also to an extent feels like it should be categorized as a learning disability cause fuck my social skills and school are impacted and still are. I wonder if it contributes to my short term memory. I wasn't diagnosed until highschool and for girls since it exhibits differently. That's why the diagnosis was so late.
The thing about the sexes isn't necessarily true. The erroneous focus on hyperactivity as the stereotype makes it seem that way, though. Regardless of sex, many who have the less hyper, more inattentive type get overlooked or misdiagnosed, because they're basically flying under the radar & falling through the cracks. The focus on the H part of ADHD did a huge disservice to so many people. Kids who needed the support didn't get it, & some kids who are just naturally active (when maybe all they needed was sports, dance, gymnastics, etc) got an erroneous mental health diagnosis.
They unfortunately rolled ADD & ADHD into one, & people zoomed in on the H, thinking it meant physical hyperactivity & not the brain. So you probably do have it, but's it's not necessarily the opposite. There are people who are just naturally active who have ADHD, & people who are more the daydream type with ADHD.
@@ThePitchblue That's not uncommon with either one. ❤️ People with a tendency to over think, be it those with OCD, ADHD, Autism , etc, are often quite intelligent. More so than people give them credit for.
Lmfao- me over here with ADHD… anyone else have to watch this vid 3x to really HEAR and understand what he was saying 😂. Not that he doesnt explain it right- because even reading a book i gotta re-read everything multiple times to actually absorb it! Lol
I can’t even pay attention to this I have to keep restarting or the intake of this information my brain is neurodivergent I mean I have a learning disability
The description at the start of the video is describing ADHD the same way that the people who came up with the name. Which is by focusing on the aspect of it that everyone else finds annoying. ADHD is so much more than "difficulties with attention". So much so, that it's often referred to as the ADHD iceberg, because the list of symptoms is extensive with "attention" issues being only just the tip of the iceberg that's most visible, with the greater portion of symptoms being invisible and below the surface (both literally and figuratively). The rest of the video is on point, but that initial description is trash and reinforces stereotypes and misconceptions.
No because my brain refuses to learn and is more prone to instant gratification than people on average. Not to mention prominent downside like bad memory, messines, uncontrollable hyperfocus that can cause other problems such as leaving music too loud without realizing (if it's a hobby that is music focused) or make me spend more time with hobbies, intrests that bring the gratification that leads to another set of problems. Like going late to sleep which causes irregular cardian rhythm cycle or lack of routines which makes plans unavailable or being completely unaware of things i.e example having to pay taxes without reminder from someone else, a buzzer or reminder in phone.

Good luck! I got tested for aspergers at 16 and they said I didn't score highly enough on the one questionnaire they gave me. Fast forward ten years and after an extensive evaluation and many, many questions, I got diagnosed with autism. Sometimes you just slip through the cracks of the system and you have to try again to get the right answer.
@@Tay-wj9et thank you! Yeah I actually had high enough test results but due to my age they didn't want to confirm, but neither reject the possibility... This time my mum also had to fill in a questionnaire about my childhood, so that seemed more promising!
@@powerpuff_avenger definitely more promising if they sought a second opinion and actually looked for evidence from your childhood! I also got diagnosed with ADHD and they did the same for me, my mum and I had to fill in the same questionnaire online so they could compare our answers.
When I was going through my diagnosis as a kid, initially the neuropsychologist didn’t think I had it, because I’d performed well on the computer test they gave me. My mom, however, pointed out that the computer test was probably fun for me since it was like a game, so yeah I’d be able to focus well on it. After she explained to him all of the behaviors and struggles I had at school and at home, which this man couldn’t see for himself since he only interacted with me at wherever it was I went to be diagnosed, he decided to follow her judgement, because luckily he was wise enough to understand that my mother knew me way better than he did, and he could tell she knew what she was talking about. I’m thankful for both my mother, and the neuropsychologist who understood that while he was the expert in the science, my mother was the expert on me.
other mental health disorders can have similar symptoms to adhd as well. dealing with childhood trauma, for example, can lead to issues focusing and being present, impulsivity, zoning out/dissociating and feeling exhausted from completing daily tasks as well. you totally may have adhd though, and regardless getting multiple opinions from various mental health professionals could help ensure your struggles are being heard and diagnosed accurately.
I'm a med student and suspect I may have ADHD. But I can't seek support yet. Life can be so hard, especially with my grades falling and everyone keeps telling me to 'focus' more when I literally cannot.
Why can’t you seek support?
@@aliahalissajensen2590 Mostly due to social stigma. I dont want to be ostracized
That was a wonderful watch, it feels extremely validating to see someone so elegantly explain what I couldn't put into words for a long time.
Now I finally have a short video to send to people who want to start understanding me and other adhder. Thanks for that
ADHD is scrolling through the coments while the video is playing
THIS!!
Damn, I literally just opened the video and started scrolling the comments immediately
Yessir 😂
Why would you call people out mid video (it’s me I am people 😅)
😔
Great video I feel i learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! If ADHD involves deficits with dopamine, I wonder if treatments for Parkinson’s which involves destruction of dopaminergic neurons, could help alleviate symptoms of adhd
You know, I've been asking the same thing...
Keep me updated
probably depends since the loss of DAergic neurons is in the substantia nigra for parkinson’s and adhd is thought to affect other parts of the brain
Side effects are probably not worth it tho tbh
Treatments for Parkinson's tend to have side effects that would likely outweigh any potential benefits for ADHD patients. These can include things ranging from sleepiness to compulsive behavior to movement-related issues. ADHD meds increase dopamine activity, but they also have other effects that likely contribute to their attention-promoting benefits. I would imagine they would be more effective than straight up dopamine agonists or drugs like L-DOPA when it comes to ADHD, with far fewer side effects.
I had ADHD in 1961 at St Pacal's Catholic School in Toronto, Ontario and my Nun teacher tried to beat it out of me with the strap, Scott, "Are you ready for your daily strapping?" but this dosen't even compare with the abuse dished out at the Residential Schools in CANADA on the indigenous young people at the time.
she actually stopped after a months, becaust they told her to. I'n not a victim, but she was
If you believe you may have ADHD inattentive type or are treatment resistant, look into sluggish cognitive tempo.
Got to the end of the video and realized I was lost in thought and didn't listen to a thing. I literally cant finish this video. This is the 4th time I had to replay it.
As someone with severe adhd that is in college to be in both pharmacology and neuroscience,After alot of thinking and personal feelings and experiences,i think its both genetic and how you grow up/how its managed throughout puberty.Now my hypothesis is people like me probably have a genetic mutation on Dopamine receptor D2,aswell as D1 and D4.I also believe People with adhd tend to have excess amounts of norepinephrine,dopamine within their synaptic cleft.People with severe adhd may also have tics,coming from rapid dopaminergic influxes.ALSO people with adhd have a higher chance for risk taking and addiction because Of Dopamine fluctuations,this is also due to a mutation in Monoamine Oxidase,allowing more monoamines to be in the blood.Lastly,my recent studies have shown that The striatum & Dorsolateral Prefrontal cortex in people with adhd functions both more effectively and neuroplasticity happens in a quicker manner.I believe the DLPFC is a bigggg target for this.
what is DLPFC?
@@gwiazdapolarna_ Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
man the content is great
please start doing cognitive neuroscience videos as well.
I just finished watching the video on Autism Spectrum Disorder, your video on Restless Leg Syndrome, and now this video on ADHD (in that order)
I have all three of these,
I also enjoyed the videos. The short form format helped me keep my attention on them.
As someone who was diagnosed with this in my 30's at first I felt validated, but as I have grown I have realized that there is a stigma associated with something that is a gift.
IMHO, it is not a disorder. If for some reason you are in a career that it causes you trouble, then you merely picked the wrong career for your mental toolset.
Would you expect a carpenter to be able to do his job with a plumbers tool kit? I think not.
I was told in 1995 after a 3 month long study on adults with this condition that out of the 200 or so subjects that I was one of the two that had a "profound" case. Oh, wasn't that special? I was taking 15 mg of Dexedrine twice daily to be normal. Got really tired of that, but I noticed something, and it was not the squirrel outside the window, or the bug flitting around. It was the fact that when I was taking medication to be "normal", I found that my troubleshooting skills were way off. I found that I was taking 3-4 times as long to go through complex diagnoses of problems, so I ditched the spice and the next day I could see clearly the patterns involved in problems again.
I could finally see how this brain I have, the one with low blood flow to the prefrontal cortex was a gift from God, to allow me to far surpass the normies at my job.
In fact as I progressed through my career as a Industrial Controls Engineer I began to notice things like after 2 months on the job, I was travelling twice as much as others. They were doing the design work while I was the one going around solving the issues that have been going on for weeks or months. Not only could I solve the problems, I was solving issues that the original equipment manufacturers guys were having issues with. It was fun to walk into a plant at 10 am, and leave at 2:30 with the problem in my rear view mirror.
Doctors, (Diagnosticians, Neurologists, etc...), Lawyers, and other careers can benefit from this type of brain as well. You ask why is that?? Well then, let me explain.
You gain knowledge as you learn things, all of this ads up in your brain. As you "fix" problems, all of that is in there... Having a brain that can freewheel in the background and say, here are the twelve issues that we fixed in the past that were similar. Once it notices that it goes through and compares them to what you are facing and eliminates the poor choices, and gives you the best to ponder in your active brain. It also in another part of your brain taking the initial information you had about the problem and as you are going through the troubleshooting process, keeps repeating the going through old issues as the variables change. You are also troubleshooting ahead of the game, because your knowledge is leading your other background task down the paths that are most likely based on what you know and keep finding out about this issue.
Until, you finally have the "aha" moment.
This is also why you have learned that if someone says, "I checked that", or "I already did that", or anything similar that you just nod your head and proceed.
Your reasoning is that if I do not recheck what they checked, I will not see the things that they SHOULD have noticed. Or, they did a poor job of checking.
Regardless, ( Did you know that until recently irregardless was not really even a real word, but it finally got added to the dictionary a year or two ago).
Regardless means "without paying attention to the present situation; despite the prevailing circumstances" so would irregardless mean "paying attention to the present situation; due to the prevailing circumstances"?
oops Back on track
Regardless of the reason that you do things in a certain way, (Look for the patterns), you will find them, you learn to excel because of and not in spite of this "disorder".
You are not broken, defective or hindered by your thought processes and the way your brain works unless you believe it to be that way. Learn how to make it work for you and not against you. Oh, I still say the wrong things at the wrong time and get impatient and impulsive at times, but people know that I am ME, and it is acceptable to them.
My personal ADHD:
jumping a LOT when excited or playing video games
Needing to be multi tasking
Stimming
Sometimes focusing on tasks that involve plenty of movement (drawing, typing, video games, or making music)
you sure that’s adhd???? not like, autism or something?
@@janfal4252 I’ve got more symptoms, and some tend to be possibly for both ADHD and Autism, I probably also have autism, but ADHD is 100% genetic, Autism possibly is a skipping generations type of thing.
Funnily enough, I had to rewatch this twice to actually pay attention to everything
🤣 I had to watch it several times...because I'm always distracted by the comment section.
Same here!
What is ADHD? Not being able to watch this video in normal speed and set it to x2
@VulpeculaVolo "not being able to" denotes lack of capability, and that normally isn't a flex. Peace out
@VulpeculaVolo probably you took it too literally
@VulpeculaVolo yep, it was a metaphor. I don't want you to feel attacked but I want to go straight to the point. Do you have any psychological condition? (Just out of curiosity, I like psychology)
Alternatively, constantly needing to pause and rewind it because you zoned out.
My sister does that to Law and Order episodes she watches, she says it's to "cut down on watch time". Personally idk how she still understands what she's watching lol
Your videos are amazing! Thank you for introducing me to the field of neuroscience in an unintimidating and fun way!
I got to about 0:22 when i suddenly did the *back to reality head shake* as i said "wait, what??" realizing i had ALREADY zoned out. Oops. LMFAO Going back to finish watching now, then the COVID 19 video next. Post-COVID brain was like taking my usual ADHD and cranking it up from a level 10 to level 100. And the aphasia was horrible, very frustrating, and rather scary.... to know that you KNOW something, but its like totally random bits of data being corrupted or deleted from your harddrive.
god it feels weird having both ADHD and Autism. definitely makes it harder to pay attention sometimes, though doing hands-on stuff helps i guess. or just learning on my own
That's actually known as AUDHD
In terms of mapping of neuronal networks as brain structures and the functional networks of the brain, only dopaminergic system is understood as neuronal network for reward system. The rest of the brain functions are yet to be mapped to the structure; people are discussing about functional networks, but it may or may not correctly reflect the brain structures, while the latter is the real. With integrating current research methods, it may be possible to draw the blueprints of the brain of mammals. There is good understanding of nerve circuits of C. Elegans, which is a textbook example.
Awesome summary! Whenever I hear about the neurological causes of psychiatric conditions, my mind always goes to individual variability. It sometimes seems like neuroscience is trying to find single causes of conditions that may, in reality, be clusters of symptoms that each have different (though sometimes overlapping) causes. My guess is that neuroscience combined with genomics and behavioral genetics will start to show that. Thank you for your content!!
By the way, I make neuroscience videos as well and I’m wondering if you’d ever be interested in doing an interview on my channel?
Yes, I agree about the origins of psychiatric conditions. There are likely multiple mechanistic pathways that can reach the same cluster of symptoms, and also it's likely that any single pathway can lead to multiple outcomes.
It's a busy time for me right now since it's mid-semester (I'm a prof) and I'm in the midst of writing a book, but if we can look a little further off into the future I'd be happy to do an interview for your channel. Why don't you reach out to me at neurochallenged@gmail.com.
No, there's definitely a commonality.
OMG!!! So happy you posted this. Thank you.
My foundations of behavioral neuroscience teacher plays your videos in class
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
POV: you're looking for info about your ADHD and are suprised about the amount of "it's theorized" and "it's believed" and "it may" phrases in the video.
Mental health/neuro science is so often just "theorized" based on studies but it's all so not- uniform. Its frustrating lol.
Almost like there is still a lot we don't know about our brains
Because we don't know much about brains?
Religion on the other hand claims to have all the answers when it has none for those that seek information about their brains.
I wouldn't say overestimating short term rewards, so much as valuing short term rewards as more of a necessity.
Anybody else set the speed playback to 0.5 to keep with this guy and understand the video?
No, but judging how stressed I feel after trying to keep up, I wish I would have!
I can already tell this video is good
i dont understand what "dopamine is often implicated in adhd" means. does increased adrenaline and dopamine somehow counteract genetics and epigenetics of individual or alter the atypical conectivity in default mode network?
It just means that atypical dopamine transmission is thought to play a role in ADHD. This idea first emerged when it was found that drugs that increase dopamine activity (such as amphetamine) could treat the symptoms of ADHD. For a while it was thus thought that ADHD might be caused by low dopamine levels, but this is now generally considered an oversimplification. Dopamine plays an important role in attention and increasing dopamine levels seems to increase attentive capabilities, but the precise role of dopamine in ADHD is still unclear.
@@neurochallenged I have adhd. When I look deep inside myself, I realize it's only 1 issue and that's a lack of dopamine. I constantly feel under-stimulated and a lack of motivation. In fact motivation and attention are highly correlated. If you lack motivation, you won't really focus on anything hence why the default mode network is so active in our brains. Due to a lack of focus, it causes symptoms like forgetfulness and disorganization. Due to a dopamine deficifncy, our brains tend to crave an activity that provides most dopamine in the shortest time possible which causes us to be impatient in every aspect of life causing symptoms like impulsivity, hyperactivity and irritability. A lot of people have considered me intelligent due to my good problem solving skills and the only reason for my underachievement despite my other cognitive abilities really seems to point towards a lack of dopamine which is a lack of motivation which results in me choosing laziness and instant gratifications over hardwork and delayed gratifications. So in short we are just lazy people whose reward systems are not easily impressed. But once something tends to catch our reward system's attention, we not only focus but reach to a state of hyperfocus which refers to extreme focus on every detail . Some may call this as an ADHD superpower. Again this display of addictive behaviour could be explained by us trying to make up for our lack of dopamine, however if channeled in the right path a person with ADHD can be super successful. However I think its better to live with a reward system that's impressed more easily, to live a simple, practical and better life and function like everyone else!
Explains my addictive behaviours and craving for anything that gives me that reward feeling (even shopping at Aliexpress got out of hand)
That might be another issue and it might be addictive personality problem not necessarily ADHD since that kind of problem doesn't occur in people with ADHD.
Sure people with ADHD have problem with keeping attention, bad memory and are often hyperfocused at what interests them but never really struggle with something like addictive shopping that it gets out of their control.
Really great stuff, thank you!
I have ADHD but I'm not hyperactive, the H in ADHD is why I did not seek treatment for so many years.
So you didn't know that ADD is just ADHD without the H?

0:14 "ADHD involves strong genetic influences" Can you say which paper backs up this statement and how strong it's shown to be?
All three of the references I've included in the video information emphasize the importance of genetic factors in ADHD and back up that statement in the video. Here is some text from one of those papers (Gallo & Posner, 2016) that includes a heritability estimate: "ADHD is a highly heritable disorder. Studies of twins, families, and adoptive children or siblings have estimated a heritability ranging from 60% to 90%." Full paper is here: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4893880/
Yes! ADHD is hereditary, but for most parents, they see it as their
" normal" so when their kids get diagnosed they don't understand the how or why.
Also this is how some people find out that their biological parents are not really their parents. This happened to my best friend.
As an example:
I'm 45(F) my grandfather had ADHD, he was a math and history genius. My dad was born in a different country had ADHD, my mom born in the USA, me and all 3 of my kids have ADHD as well. They are 22,23,24 now.
Some people for reference:
*Dr. Sari Solden, *Dr. Michelle Frank,
* Dr. Tamara Rosier. They've written great books and have amazing research.

I know my ADHD is bad when I get distracted watching this two minute video about ADHD
A lot of misdiagnoses for general hyper-masculinity in normal male behaviour or on the extreme asperger masculine side, grey areas.
This is so good!! Such a clear explanation!!
I love that the transcript is in the description
I’ve heard that as ADHD is neurodevelopmental so brains don’t develop in the same way, but that this underdevelopment might be driven by something like insufficient brain energy (like ATP) like a problem with the mitochondria or metabolism of the brain (I think you only get mitochondria from your mom so I have questions considering how heritable the condition is). Also I understand that maybe there’s also some immune or inflammation thing that might be causing problems like cytokines or something. To me it seems that the immune system, the brain/ nervous system, and the metabolic system are maybe 3 of the most complex so I guess that might also be why it’s so tricky to understand what’s going. Also never mind the effects of hormones (like I feel like my menstrual cycle is forever gaslighting me by making my symptoms vary from devastating to kind of manageable and back again)
Babies exposed to pesticides also cause a higher risk in getting ADHD. (When pregnant)
Me: Take that, default mode network!

Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
What about a study showing that some people don’t listen to shit they don’t care about?? And then when the authority can’t handle it, we say the other person has a disease.
ADHD is not a disease, it's simply brain build different and thus works differently than average.
People with ADHD can also often score higher in problem solving due to their ability to hyperfocus and better pattern reading.
You viewing it as disease is showing ignorance which can be quite dangerous to people of any kind.
Meds are simply to help them regain control over already differently working brain that simply doesn't allow them to function or outright make them unable to acquire things such as driving license or organized life.
ADHD isn't something you catch it's a different brain structure from birth.
Does this channel benefit to the medical student of dependence on them?
I zoned out during this video too while trying to watch it ahahaha

I have always been told I have adhd by doctors ect: but I think there's something else like autisim
There's a lot of comorbidity between ADHD and ASD. It's entirely possible to have both, which is sometimes referred to as AUDHD. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that there was a proposal to merge ADHD into ASD as a subtype in the next DSM spec.
It also shows itself differently between sexes males are often more physically hyperactive as opposed to females where it exhibits more in a mental form.
this makes sense between my adhd, asd, ocd, and other shit. This feels so correct lol. It also to an extent feels like it should be categorized as a learning disability cause fuck my social skills and school are impacted and still are. I wonder if it contributes to my short term memory. I wasn't diagnosed until highschool and for girls since it exhibits differently. That's why the diagnosis was so late.
The thing about the sexes isn't necessarily true. The erroneous focus on hyperactivity as the stereotype makes it seem that way, though. Regardless of sex, many who have the less hyper, more inattentive type get overlooked or misdiagnosed, because they're basically flying under the radar & falling through the cracks. The focus on the H part of ADHD did a huge disservice to so many people. Kids who needed the support didn't get it, & some kids who are just naturally active (when maybe all they needed was sports, dance, gymnastics, etc) got an erroneous mental health diagnosis.

i have adhd dosent people with adhd are smarter when they want to be im really good at history scince i like it i learn alot abt it even not in school
how do you call the opposite of adhd or even add? cause I have it.
It's only ADHD now, it's been reclassified. Go to a Psychiatrist and find out what you have.
They unfortunately rolled ADD & ADHD into one, & people zoomed in on the H, thinking it meant physical hyperactivity & not the brain. So you probably do have it, but's it's not necessarily the opposite. There are people who are just naturally active who have ADHD, & people who are more the daydream type with ADHD.

That is an interesting topic. I'll see if I can work it in at some point in the future.

Yasss
The description at the start of the video is describing ADHD the same way that the people who came up with the name. Which is by focusing on the aspect of it that everyone else finds annoying. ADHD is so much more than "difficulties with attention". So much so, that it's often referred to as the ADHD iceberg, because the list of symptoms is extensive with "attention" issues being only just the tip of the iceberg that's most visible, with the greater portion of symptoms being invisible and below the surface (both literally and figuratively).
The rest of the video is on point, but that initial description is trash and reinforces stereotypes and misconceptions.
good figures but this 2 minute explanation left me more confused than before
so you're saying your brain is broke cuz you stuff everything down deep?
No because my brain refuses to learn and is more prone to instant gratification than people on average.
Not to mention prominent downside like bad memory, messines, uncontrollable hyperfocus that can cause other problems such as leaving music too loud without realizing (if it's a hobby that is music focused) or make me spend more time with hobbies, intrests that bring the gratification that leads to another set of problems.
Like going late to sleep which causes irregular cardian rhythm cycle or lack of routines which makes plans unavailable or being completely unaware of things i.e example having to pay taxes without reminder from someone else, a buzzer or reminder in phone.
