ourselves axles
0:03
if a mind like mine raised some questions for you to stay with us we’ve
0:07
assembled a group of people who can help you answer them
0:10
will continue to discuss attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or a d_h_
0:14
d in adults
0:16
there seems to be an assumption that children outgrow the disorder but in
0:20
most cases that’s not true
0:22
let’s take a look at some eighty h_d_ statistics
0:25
from the learning disabilities association of canada
0:28
eighty h d is a neural biological disorder that interferes with the
0:32
person’s ability to sustain attention to focus on a task and to control impulse
0:37
behavior
0:39
eighty h d is likely to run in families and seems to be passed down through
0:42
generations
0:44
up to five percent of children in canada have eighty h d
0:48
blazer affected up to four times more often than girls
0:52
and up to sixty seven percent of children with a d_h_ deet may continue
0:55
to have symptoms as adults
0:58
so about two thirds of children with a d_h_ d still have the disorder when they
1:02
become adults the symptoms may change some they disappear completely like
1:07
hyperactivity but the problems with attention and impulsivity often remain
1:12
so what is life like for adults with a p_h_d_
1:15
what challenges do they face in post secondary school on-the-job and in their
1:20
personal relationships
1:22
what treatments and resources are available for adults and what happens if
1:26
they don’t get the help they need
1:28
i’m joined by four people who can help us understand
1:32

caleb donal is caring son he was diagnosed with a d_h_ d at the age of
1:50
seven and has been learning to cope with the disorder ever since
1:54
daniel dejar de was also diagnosed as a child and continues to struggle with
1:59
eighty h_d_ in adult hood
2:01
he’s here to shed some light on the difficulties he’s faced

2:42
welcome everybody thank you for being here tonight congratulations on your
2:46
film karen thank you
2:47
now your first two films uh… focused on children with a dat this one is about
2:52
adults life
2:54
well i really felt that it was only necessary to go into that arena because
2:58
as i learned more myself
3:00
and doing the films
3:02
it was very obvious that
3:05
general society just seem to think that it went away and
3:09
but i knew that that wasn’t true plans are so i thought that i had to prove
3:13
ways to that and i wanted to go into the adultery and to her
3:17
nancy what would happen
3:19
now kaelin daniel you are both diagnosed as children with a d_h_ d and you’ve
3:23
been coping with it for a long time kale ask you first
3:26
how is it different for you now that you’re a young held
3:32
asking myself isn questions no
3:35
and save garland gotten a lot better add up
3:37
or assessing my own behavior
3:40
or something that i’ve worked on consciously
3:43
and
3:44
and also my attitude towards had towards it in general has changed and i
3:48
approached it extremely negatively before
3:51
has really stuck on the whole normal
3:53
aspects and as i want to be normal i don’t want
3:57
to affect me anymore and i just tried to do my best to get away get rid of it and
4:01
now i focused more positively on and how can i use
4:04
and how can i make it work for me
4:06
and living a lifestyle that
4:08
uh… cooperates with such a lot he’s here in this
4:12
kind of this is the place and i are now asking myself those kind of questions
4:15
all right then you know what about you know has it changed for you
4:18
on what i have found it difficult to testing with social skills and adult
4:23
arena
4:23
and it’s also been difficult to
4:26
fit in it workplaces and it’s been difficult in that aspect as well
4:30
i’ve also found that time management organizing can be quite difficult so ice
4:35
to miss a lot of appointments and it wouldnt usually revolve around that dot
4:40
aspect organizing and
4:42
in getting things done focusing staying on pass gun appropriate behavior
4:48
appropri times such alright ok timothy and ask you in just a minute what what
4:52
eighty h_d_ looks like an adult
4:54
but i have to stop us for just a minute
4:56
we are about to leave your television screens but we are going to continue
5:00
this conversation online
5:02
please go to t_v_ o dot org
5:04
you will find this discussion alive chap
5:07
and you’ll find a place to submit your questions to our panel
5:11
so we’ll see you online
5:13
t_v_ o dot org
5:25
today we had seemed to think of fat when we talk about children with eighty h d
5:29
we often think of her child who is hyperactive who
5:32
is easily distracted what does it look like in adults
5:36
well that’s a great question there’s a change over time so a lot of the
5:41
hyperactivity does go away
5:42
although adults consumer worker quite workaholic like a little driven they
5:48
feel they can see a restless inside
5:50
um… they might pay some a cell phone with the blackberry
5:54
but the most predominate ng symptoms as we’ve just heard would be distracted
5:58
bility
5:58
short working memory problems organization
6:02
a sense of time this often very impaired so time is very more first-time drips
6:07
away people often running late
6:10
so there’s an increase loading in an adult’s life on these very important
6:14
executive functions working memory insult for we say those symptoms become
6:18
worse
6:19
i don’t think they become worse but there’s an increased emphasis on short
6:24
term
6:26
timelines are often paper related getting things in on time
6:29
so it makes it look like it’s worse but it’s an increase what we call cauldron
6:33
of loading
6:34
then adults life
6:35
and without any kind of help you’re on your own basically right which happens
6:39
to all adults we end up with more on our plate but you’re saying it so becomes
6:43
more obvious it’s more obvious moved in with the diagnosis then we look at
6:47
periods for its impact on a person’s life so
6:49
stepping waiting university
6:51
you have to move on your own activity of daily living getting the class in the
6:55
right time all these things become quite problematic within the workplace
7:00
forgetfulness conventional a lot of trouble either ever any new symptoms
7:04
shelf
7:05
adults that weren’t there before not necessarily noon but uh… i think with
7:10
adult a_b_c_ because the descriptor attention deficit regret to his original
7:14
very good descriptor
7:16
because these guys have an attention span
7:18
so i think it’s the context
7:21
we’d like to think of it is a fast mind not
7:24
an attention deficit mind
7:26
or
7:27
you can think of it as an contrast deficit so
7:29
if somebody with a d_h_ tease very interested in something they can focus
7:33
for long periods of time
7:35
it’s really more in the boring everyday mundane tasks that they have a lot of
7:39
trouble it is something that can be problematic is impossibly
7:43
song adult
7:45
population people with adult a_d_d_
7:47
uh… having a little bit of impulsivity
7:50
driving a car coming people often conversations using a drug compulsively
7:54
all these things have been consequences of inhalt slight right of course okay we
7:58
have a nag email that’s question is coming by email
8:01
uh… i am one of those people who is chronically late somewhat disorganized
8:06
and a world-class procrastinator
8:08
but i do manage to eventually get things done usually even on deadline
8:12
might i have eighty h d
8:14
how does one tell the difference between regular challenges
8:18
and those attributed to a dat this is from somone in toronto
8:23
posterity chairman we’ll see
8:25
when everyone has to say about that so
8:27
people will be dede tells us to use that term generically the chronically late
8:32
rb underestimate the amount of time things take
8:35
believe everything for the last minute so it becomes an ammo for them for so if
8:39
this person
8:40
is like that words a chronic ruby is a problem and as a consequence to get into
8:45
trouble getting to work untie
8:48
relate allowed
8:49
university students getting things on time leaving extensions
8:52
uh… driving around time urgent
8:54
if that’s a pervasive
8:56
quality that they’ve had a lifelong
8:58
then that could be a assign a symptom of aviation okay so you use the word
9:03
chronic
9:03
that they are like the keyword hits a persistent one n you have to demonstrate
9:08
that that as a consequence of these difficulties it impacted on a person’s
9:11
life
9:12
so a little bit of it would be one thing but this is crime
9:16
karen after years of focusing on your son you found out that you have eighty h
9:21
t bulletin that was a
9:23
big surprise to me and i think that i am like this person that’s email then com
9:28
you know that that’s just my personality that was just too wise i am a c no unc
9:34
always had drug difficulty with time management forgetting things so i still
9:37
do but but actually organically
9:42
made chefs and i would have little patterns in place of that i know i’m
9:46
going to forget something so i would be prepared for when i did forget zero so
9:51
it’s been you know it’s impotent he was just a personality corcoran whatever why
9:56
did you get tested
9:58
rather than making this film it was a big shock because her and i started
10:03
actually working on this film
10:05
with another subject in mind and then
10:08
kanda side
10:09
this happened from just through the process of dealing with my son several
10:14
things happened
10:16
as he was preparing for university
10:18
which caused me to sort of followed a place with all the little things that i
10:23
had put into place over the years organically
10:26
we sort of being shifted away and and i didn’t know what was going on until
10:31
their own aster another doctor about continuing with this filming and helping
10:37
me find a than adults are a woman who was not yet diagnosis but probably would
10:43
be diagnosed as an adult
10:45
and he said i a hope you won’t be insulted but why isn’t it you would
10:50
okay i know that there are well
10:53
writing work together and so i a thirty five
10:56
then i really do have to
10:58
such action
10:59
okay what does this information to you them that now that you know
11:04
it really doesn’t mean a lot to me in the in my life i’m not going to be the i
11:09
don’t have to change my job i think what it
11:11
does is
11:12
it makes me reflective over things to understand the choices over me
11:16
the job that i do is perfect for personality right important mind
11:22
issues or whatever you want to call them boomers it works and and i have a
11:28
fantasticks teen that works with me
11:30
to and we all you know sort of care each other loan and and i really think kills
11:35
said it before it’s about being mindful and it’s a really it it’s really hasn’t
11:41
changed my life
11:42
very much other than just
11:45
stepping back a glowing ok you know does that’s what it’s called right right we
11:50
have another question here that’s coming in from john doubts that ever and
11:54
karaoke
11:55
i have just finished reading scattered mines by doctor kevorkian after talking
11:59
with him
12:00
have made to realize a shin i have a didi at fifty years old what affects
12:04
will medication how money both in limitations
12:07
and gains
12:11
okay so
12:12
a scattered mind
12:14
in a certain context
12:17
but i think the thing to nobody t_v_ is that people can be very focused
12:22
in them
12:23
interesting novel environment so i have police officers i have your positions
12:27
criminal lawyers
12:29
university professors so in that
12:31
unknowable stimulating environment
12:34
medicine may or may not be
12:36
elite circle
12:37
uh… it’s in the everyday mundane tasks were people find it very repetitive
12:43
was not a lot of stimulation
12:47
the medicines that still work with kids now lessons work with adults very high
12:52
response rates
12:54
depending on the individual situation though because one size doesn’t fit all
12:58
so for example my truck drivers and uh… paramedics and police officers
13:03
yet they probably would benefit from medication their own and
13:08
clinics so we see a lot of people who
13:09
on arrears for taxes just to pierce t so lots of difficulties that way so doing
13:15
the boring stuff yeah medicine could very much assist in that way
13:19
but about fifty percent of it is organizational strategies
13:23
knowing that you haven’t
13:25
right it is a very important cornerstone
13:28
for people to
13:29
two-sided
13:30
shark is that you can understand it you can’t learn from other people absolutely
13:34
harsh me adults are walking around and diagnosed do you think it’s almost five
13:38
percent this is run by sort of all adult adult puppet have it have a d_h_ deep i
13:42
don’t know it yeah that’s run custer
13:45
snapping onto something
13:46
you know about five percent so it is really one of the commons things we’ve
13:50
seen an outpatient though
13:52
setting and this is also that data from europe
13:55
whether the world health organization’s actually look to prevalence data and
13:59
helen powerful untreated aged he can be for people arriving in packs
14:04
well in that particular study to look at present is an
14:08
absenteeism as part of it that’s where you don’t go because of his in his where
14:12
people untreated with a_d_d_ would go to work
14:14
but about sixty percent of the time they’re effective forty percent in the
14:17
hearts of the day dreaming drifting off
14:20
taking too long to complete asses
14:22
in amounted to about twenty eight days per person per year in lost job
14:27
performance so there’s an example of
14:29
uh… under achievement for your own potential which i think is a
14:32
are very real possibility skirmishing
14:35
and i know we had an email about this before but i i want to ask this question
14:38
again because
14:40
some of us have
14:41
some of these symptoms
14:43
sometimes not
14:45
how do you know
14:46
that it might be a t h d or when is it just stop boring meeting or you know
14:53
another day on the job we’re actually right so it’s its
14:55
but we could all have some of these traits because the dimensional
14:59
dimensional traits right but for a t_v_ in the diagnosis you have to have not
15:03
sometimes it often
15:04
mhm you have to have the lifelong childhood onset
15:09
and as a consequence of the symptoms
15:11
it’s impacted on selfesteem your achievement within your own potential
15:16
occupation academically so we have to demonstrate that’s impacted negatively
15:20
so the majority of the house that i see will come in saying know what i don’t
15:24
know if i have this i’ve got poor time management
15:27
uh… but if i do have this condition i want to be treated for it
15:31
uh… divorce rates require high
15:33
uh… chronicle self-esteem so
15:36
we have to have these things pervaiz of lee anniston packed okay
15:40
what causes a p_h_d_
15:42
well it’s a no biological disorder doesn’t spring based
15:47
we know a lot of both the receptors the bring receptors that you chemical
15:52
messengers dopamine and nor adrenalin or adrenaline
15:56
art that’s implicated in a d_h_ d so it’s a deficiency a v_c_r_ transmitters
16:01
essentially
16:01
the medicines that we have
16:03
enhanced these neuro transmitters so symptomatic lee people improve a lot
16:09
it’s in the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex which is the thinking part of the
16:12
brain
16:13
there is a delay in the maturation in these areas
16:16
we have a lot of really recently demonstrating that there are differences
16:20
in people with the steam
16:22
so they don’t sort of light up that part of the brain when they have to pay for
16:26
full time
16:27
but our medicines helped them do that
16:29
so these are subtle brain based differences they’ll recognize who eighty
16:34
percent genetic
16:36
eighty percent chance of genetic which is why the doctor said the karen
16:40
why not you so its rights it’s really one of the more genetic conditions we
16:44
have
16:45
that new information how long it we know that all probably for thirty years is
16:49
that right is more genetic then ask mara breast cancer for example i’ll take shot
16:54
the silver chalice diagnosed with a d_h_ devanshu the parents be defense of your
16:58
book
16:59
even if someone doesn’t suggest them for it right they are usually looking for a
17:03
is that i rent or an uncle or something them alright until what has been the
17:08
biggest challenges for you
17:10
after having been diagnosed him
17:13
thumb
17:14
hired would be a chance for me definitely came because i was in school
17:18
at the time com
17:19
with my schoolwork americanization
17:22
nighttime
17:23
time management right waking up in the mornings realizing how long it’s going
17:26
to take me to do something
17:29
underestimating how long it’s going to do that i was falling short
17:33
too far over deadlines
17:35
him
17:37
and then i guess as i’ve gotten older
17:41
morning how to cope with it so i haven’t found
17:44
complete norton strategies that i feel one hundred-percent confident with
17:48
burn down
17:50
it all depends on my environment really uh…
17:55
it’s a little different baboon
17:56
how do you deal with the problems
17:58
uh…
18:01
actually i got it
18:03
island if i could talk miriam more businesses would have been doing with
18:07
leary’s
18:08
without having been out of school and
18:09
now i’m trying to pursue my own
18:13
my own interests individually which i think also if i was in university that’s
18:17
that’s the kind of situation i’d be enright and hopefully i’d be doing
18:20
something that reflect my interest
18:22
so but right now i’m a i’m trying to read a lot and that sort of thing
18:26
bangalore
18:27
and by the but what i found is that i am instead of trying to like ways to
18:31
approach it more of it is a challenge likely have to get this book read
18:34
by a in a week and then next week he start another one and that sort of thing
18:37
give yourself challenges which is a great thing but also you’re come to
18:41
realize that they don’t
18:43
have to you don’t have to be so abrasive with yourself where it may be trying to
18:47
get into a habit of doing that because that’s where you used to in school and
18:51
this is the way it’s done and then do it that way
18:54
it and if you can’t do it then you’d have to try harder that sort of thing
18:56
but i’ve realized that you want
18:58
i guess that’s read a book and and i get maybe forty fifty pages into it one day
19:04
and then i want to put it down but i didn’t realize that i can still keep
19:07
reading i can can bring forever and
19:09
you know i mean right now in and so but but just that book that i need something
19:14
else rightly it’s like like doctor bill kua saying it’s uh…
19:19
interests deficit more it as opposed to attention deficit my attention is their
19:23
but i’ve just lost interest in that more easily than someone else were afraid to
19:26
tell your stimulation
19:29
zuni interested but once i am stimulated and i’m all the way they’re so what i’ve
19:33
worse today i read like twelve books at a time
19:36
unlike of got a whole set of there’s many people have been vetoed this is
19:40
absolutely not and you know i mean like i’ve been on death in the same books for
19:44
for months and months but there’s no
19:46
you go between exactly and i’ve got the freedom to do that right now really come
19:50
not in a deadline for school if that’s what’s working for me and hopefully i
19:54
can find a balance between i want to do end up in school ok so that that seems
19:57
to be that strategies that you’ve come up with the admin trying to work with
20:01
are more than try to work against it and then obviously there’s a balance would
20:05
you can’t go completely one hundred percent with it but sure ok and daniel
20:09
in the film that we watched using to struggle quite a bit
20:13
yes more than kale
20:14
i guess you have a live why is that you think
20:17
having those because after my father had passed away
20:20
it was difficult for me to adjust to other a completely new environment with
20:25
cousins whom
20:26
i didn’t know that well
20:28
they didn’t have any children and they’re both well into the forties so
20:32
they got me with all these disorders and
20:35
they didn’t know how to handle it so for them
20:38
it was frightening frightening like you couldn’t imagine and they didn’t know
20:42
how to help me and i think that’s what hurt them the most deserving couldn’t
20:47
figure out why
20:48
or where i was coming from
20:52
but little by little
20:54
arlen somehow it did
20:55
deal with
20:56
the things that i had to deal with
20:59
the responsibility of the time management the working you know
21:03
everything that every other normal adult pass the word ruth what are your biggest
21:07
challenges
21:08
right now it’s trying to find my place in the world trainer
21:12
get out of job that i can stick to because i found that
21:16
molson by jobs i’ve had they were either to boring or
21:21
my employers do not know
21:23
and i think speak up
21:25
about my prop my disorder dvd and whatnot
21:29
they would perhaps maybe they would have given me a little more lenient lenient
21:33
smear it it would have given me a little more patients you know
21:36
but i’m thinking in the future i’m a actually bring it up
21:39
because why not why shouldn’t i bring it up why shouldn’t i take a stand i
21:43
deserve it too
21:44
you my last job i was in video game testing when the best jobs i ever had
21:49
and i was making good money
21:51
you know why i got laid off
21:52
i forgot the locker workstation tune
21:55
he spoke to make it work
21:58
something simple
21:59
i cannot remember to do it
22:01
all and they even put up unaccustomed background you know that the americans
22:06
pollsters these to have to do what we want you they did that that is that we
22:10
want you to lock your doors that lead in acute does it why don’t you feel
22:13
charitable char
22:15
still couldn’t remember to do it
22:17
all right now in the film we see it’s a it’s a difficult moment to watch when
22:21
your cousin kicks you out
22:23
yeah those who heard yeah what was that like for you
22:28
pour my world apart and
22:30
i felt like i was falling down a pet
22:35
so i had to go through horrible things things i don’t know when you can speak
22:38
about on the air because it was just too painful impersonal but
22:42
it taught me a lot
22:44
iggy me a real good way to call you know
22:47
and i think i need to be because
22:50
my father was villainy wasn’t really able to give me either
22:53
the discipline and by me back then
22:56
i do work
22:57
as a teenager so i i never develop that
23:00
that value system of personal responsibility
23:03
that sense of
23:05
there’s there’s a type of behind them and it’s time for work
23:08
and that’s what i had to learn but
23:09
i had to rush it i think as a catch-up fast and my cousins
23:14
they tried but
23:15
sometimes i felt like it was too much pressure that i used to snap
23:20
and i’m going to move by love rages
23:23
that would frighten them to you know unending if they do not have
23:27
the knowledge or the expertise to deal with these things and you can just
23:31
imagine
23:32
how was for them
23:34
what do you think it will take up to turn things around for you
23:38
i think right now i’m trying to set up a support team the montreal because i
23:42
don’t have adopted the d_c_ regularly i have no psychologist north atlanta list
23:47
nobody talked about my problems of modern any medication
23:50
so coping for me which i have a lot of anxiety
23:54
and this exile has become of compounded
23:58
stigma which is prevented me from having the self-confidence to go out of the
24:02
cheat my ambitions
24:03
and is preventing me from going out looking for work is that i had a resume
24:07
sitting on my people at the bus fare i have my pass whatever
24:10
i could get up in the morning and it is a hate
24:12
look at your school and find jobs today
24:16
but i don’t go out
24:18
don’t believe that ham worth it or i don’t believe uh…
24:21
i would’ve takes or i don’t think that they’re going to hire me you know so i
24:24
go in there to sit back and brief
24:27
it’s a good word for anything like this
24:29
and employer looks at u_n_
24:31
they’re looking right at the u_n_ vacancy that you’re nervous and so it
24:36
doesn’t look good it doesn’t look
24:39
professionalism look like you’re ready so did his past your present to see you
24:43
next
24:44
and it hurts you know
24:48
what makes the difference between
24:50
managing
24:51
not managing
24:53
out full page d
24:56
well i think the approach to the diagnosis is multimodal
25:00
even so in our clinics
25:02
you really need to get to know people it’s not
25:04
just a series of checklists and there’s a diagnosis here’s upheld to see what
25:09
happens
25:10
sonar clinics and other clinics throughout the world
25:14
getting to know
25:15
who it is that has the vb
25:17
knowing somebody from a three sixty perspective
25:20
getting to know their aptitude nor strengths the passions of dreams
25:24
getting a sense of a vocational trajectory
25:27
so if you have a dvd okay the bad news is maybe you’re not going to be a
25:31
chartered accountant or book uh… so what’s the downside
25:35
but when you have a nice way i’m so
25:38
but we’ll see if i had the uh… let’s find out what you do that
25:42
and everybody has gifts
25:44
and think those kinds of attitudinal strengths will act as a vocational
25:49
g_p_s_ for what you can do in your life
25:51
the couple bat with medication
25:55
file because often the response which is so high that within a a few weeks people
26:00
can
26:01
feel less distracted in that the medicines help people in the head of
26:05
themselves
26:06
to pay attention better the comeback to break break time they don’t forget to
26:10
keys and so forth
26:11
and then selfesteem starts to build
26:14
the other thing you need to do is look for other conditions which may overlap
26:18
so we need to use a little bit notorious
26:20
in terms of coming along as a package
26:23
so was lost social anxiety up to twenty nine percent without arms
26:28
so for example social phobia so that may be inheriting a person from performing
26:32
well no job interviews he might want to treat that
26:35
mood problems also can corker
26:38
to treating these other conditions in our class we specialize also addiction
26:41
so it’s up to fifty percent of the directions
26:43
so targeting addictions which may also be an obstacle two percent of persons
26:49
progression
26:50
so in everybody’s different rehearsals individualize in your treatment
26:55
we see quite successful people holliman valves found american re and stocking
26:59
was abt
27:00
trainee harrelson in my book we’re all going to be interviewing people who have
27:05
me dat
27:07
and these will be inspirational odd stories
27:11
kosovo really is a incident number of stories link together but what he did he
27:15
really is
27:16
and am i don’t think it’s the worst thing on the planet i think it certainly
27:19
can impair people
27:21
but also the treatments work extremely well that’s multimodal highly
27:25
individualized i’ll take karen what do you think what makes the difference for
27:29
people
27:30
honorable i gri with doctor book and i think that uh… once you realize that
27:35
you have it
27:36
and if you realize that it’s not all that bad things are actual positives
27:41
that go along with it
27:43
’em that uh… you know ending do you have you have to be able to build your
27:48
own self-esteem and i know i stay in the in the film what i learned about myself
27:53
with that and i would be using
27:56
this hyper focus alan
27:58
fabindia because and it got me through it it gets me through on the on off a
28:04
lot of the work that i have to do in a very short period of time it’s not a bad
28:07
qualities you know it’s it’s absolutely fantastic so by don’t believe that it’s
28:13
such a bad thing after all i know it’s challenging biden if you are aware of it
28:18
there are ways through those challenges ok are just want to remind people if
28:22
you’re watching us online at the panel is here to take your questions
28:26
you can submit one online in the ask the expert box below the screen or you can
28:30
give us a call toll-free at one eight feet eight eight nine one one one nine
28:36
five
28:38
alan a carrot week really hear about adults with a d_h_ d it seems to be
28:43
always about children why is that you think
28:46
well and i think
28:47
of i’ll go back to when i first and at kato which was eight nine years ago
28:54
when i wanted to do that story i was told then or this isn’t you know very
28:59
prevalent this is a
29:01
affects a small group of the population and some i think that we will be hearing
29:06
more about adults with attention deficit disorder i think that
29:10
the at the time is is right now and that there were more accepting
29:15
and we certainly have
29:16
bum professionals that are out there talking about it and doing great work to
29:21
understand the research and and and and writing books arrive adults and
29:26
celebrities
29:27
talking not about it
29:28
not we have a question here from john in sturgeon falls hasn’t the diagnosis of
29:32
eighty eighty become prevalent since the advent of psychotropic such as ritalin
29:37
did this disease aids and he’s put that in quotation marks exist prior to these
29:41
controversial but highly profitable drugs whether any scientific tests
29:45
but make that diagnosis
29:48
ten thriving answer a few months by heinrich often eighteen fifty six
29:54
german physician
29:55
noticed hyperactivity in a number of those kids
29:58
the first our treatment was nineteen thirty seven am strolls bradley that was
30:02
recorded in our control sky tree
30:05
so the first treatment i was a drug called and you can
30:09
so that precedes the onset of
30:13
drugs like ritalin and so forth real and i was a medication became available in
30:16
the fifties but we think that eighty h t has always existed within the gene pool
30:22
a christmas in people from very isolated gene pools moving populations
30:27
the eighty each deal is very similar and our population turn any other
30:33
culture we’ve seen people from singapore african scotland
30:36
prove and so forth worldwide worldwide anywhere you look for basically saying
30:40
incidents yep
30:42
friends writes a very very similar okay
30:45
and
30:45
are so
30:47
medications
30:48
we knew very early on part of the dopamine in the north kremlin they make
30:53
dopamine more freely available
30:54
and that allows the thinking part of the brains personal level prefrontal cortex
30:58
to light up and help people focus in inhibit themselves tonight so google in
31:03
bosnia was things
31:05
army
31:05
the real has a bad name it’s not a particularly of good medication
31:10
so it health canada who has authorized four long-acting excellent medications
31:16
that very very high response rates okay
31:19
something i think that accounts for the skepticism because that is some
31:23
skepticism out there
31:24
you know what
31:26
i think the condition i think the skepticism
31:29
comes because the symptoms are so subtle so if you say to me up
31:33
product but none of the press to medical i run late
31:37
on forgetful
31:38
i think reflexively a lot of people would say it’ll just make a list
31:42
proposed don’t procrastinate rises a lot like saying to somebody’s addicted to
31:46
nicotine maybe they should just stop smoking because it’s bad for them or
31:49
something like that so the symptoms are not graphic the very subtle
31:54
and so it’s easy for somebody who doesn’t have a to sort of moral eyes and
31:57
say well
31:58
don’t just don’t forget stuff
32:01
so i think that part of it and can put people often
32:05
uh… which is why it’s important
32:07
that these printed the celebrities are coming in saying that i have this book
32:11
okay cause this in trouble but now i fixed it up to robin diamond elsewhere
32:14
so detective p it is a real condition
32:18
so people didn’t dispute
32:20
the diagnosis
32:21
she’d call up hourly
32:23
and tell them what to think about it because i think that would be an
32:25
interesting person sour right let’s go to ablation missus i guess questionnaire
32:31
online i think both of you boys are amazing and full of strength facing
32:35
these challenges
32:36
had either of you reconsider the use of medication
32:40
then we’ll start with you and then i’ll ask you camp
32:44
yes i have reconsidered the use of it because i find that
32:48
unimpeded debasis i don’t seem to have
32:52
the coping mechanisms in place to keep myself and check i find better
32:57
unbalanced
32:58
just generally moody emotional
33:01
nervous bankshares
33:03
uh… i’m not really able to focus on and any pasts really for a long time
33:08
it’s just
33:09
difficult and i just get very scattered as you mention in your book scattered
33:13
mines
33:14
uh…
33:15
i think that so you may go back home as soon as you can see ring up but i’m not
33:19
sure if it
33:20
if it that that is what i need
33:22
so so that’s the thing sometimes i don’t know alike
33:25
isn’t a good option or dinner is not a good option that’s difficult part is
33:28
figuring out whether or not it’s appropriate
33:32
and that you need a good doctor for because they need to get to know you
33:35
need to analyze your whole history n
33:38
for me is more complicated because i grew up here and ontario and now living
33:42
in quebec
33:43
so there’s a problem with doctors in history reports and transfers of files
33:47
in a larger haha okay so that makes it a complicated issue that’s why don’t you
33:52
cannot be reconsidered
33:54
definitely
33:57
from
33:58
i have
34:00
i’ve always been a little uncomfortable with the idea bla medication deberg
34:05
great for me when i was younger and
34:07
that i don’t doubt that intensify convinced
34:10
just my attitude towards that has changed now on the before it was more of
34:14
an issue of trying to
34:17
put the put the per diem
34:20
analysts say
34:21
michael disorder concrete under wraps and try to just
34:25
get rid of it as much as possible kinda level it out with with this medication
34:28
and now
34:30
more
34:32
bidyut at bally’s now i have the time to be able to to to do this once i get
34:36
university maybe it’ll definitely be a different issue and a half to reconsider
34:39
everything again but right now i’m trying to
34:42
really let my mind go the way it goes and
34:45
and pay attention to answer to that and and
34:50
really see the best ways that i can utilize it
34:53
because like i said that working with it seems so much better and it’s it’s a
34:58
unique perspective i think like that
35:00
uh… let them which is something that’s interesting for me to pursue from
35:04
and uh… that’s why i would consider medications on
35:09
well as as much as i’d like to say i’d like to consumer short term kind of
35:12
bases like ours really crunch time i like to do it
35:15
but i don’t know if they work that fast acting in
35:18
it sort of thing i think what’s very important to understand your own mind in
35:22
your own workings and if you agree to go on medication
35:26
change a whole lot of things around another thing to be bad but you have to
35:29
be spend that time again getting used to your own processes again and more
35:34
realizing that a lot more so right now i’m i’m comfortable
35:37
doing that with the way i a m
35:40
naturally let’s say
35:42
and and there may be a time where where
35:46
i’d have to do this all over again while on vacation maybe
35:49
so won’t be able to deal with at a university both for the time being under
35:53
fairly comfortable home
35:55
pursuing it the way anthony rumor
35:58
we have a phone call now from kristin on a lot higher crest
36:04
hi chris hi welcome to the show
36:07
high and what’s your question for piano
36:09
but i don’t know
36:12
twenty years
36:13
drying up
36:14
he he only learned
36:19
might i add one support everything was
36:25
bore
36:25
faster and more left over there is a huge political parties
36:31
recently unite if either the landing
36:35
by again warm toward my everyday life
36:38
but haven’t really don’t want to themselves
36:42
seven years old and i think the field
36:46
have the list
36:47
coming creeping back up on the so what section eight eight two get a better
36:51
graphics
36:54
on it as a young adult
36:55
okay thank you chris oh that
36:59
well i think that’s and
37:00
that’s a great question so
37:03
into kidding yourself
37:04
all uh… they’re very good documentaries books like driven to
37:08
distraction sort of getting a handle on what this looks like
37:12
in people
37:15
looking at where it may have impacted so i’m not quite clear in terms of
37:20
hollis maybe showing itself
37:23
if he hasn’t he’s always had it
37:25
and they can become accentuated with increased demands and adults life like
37:29
our lives are all more complicated as we get a
37:33
adult if you guys have got to look forward to going out scare them
37:37
extensions of uh… so can make as you were saying anything look like it’s a
37:41
little bit worse
37:42
then i would go to my my family doctor
37:45
and say you know i was diagnosed before re-evaluate and see if they still have
37:49
some symptoms and i would start to explore that
37:52
the other thing i would suggest is take somebody else along
37:55
when you go to the the family don’t read it sell
37:58
mccarran missing in our lives the way she always was so
38:01
assorted refer to this is a garlic disorder enough people don’t really know
38:05
that they’ve got it for the people around the lake well aware of
38:09
piece in the characteristics and that second hand out well that’s very nice
38:13
maria director photography simple here the last person in the boat
38:18
we’ve known for a while he’s alright alright okay i think it is really cool
38:22
birthday that evidence and family doctors now are very skilled because
38:26
we’ve seen kids in adolescents so if you’re a twenty twenty five two seven
38:30
it’s not a big extrapolation
38:32
say okay maybe you do have this man
38:35
become an informed consumer around the treatments
38:38
advocate strongly for yourself
38:40
and worked at it with edits a fifty fifty relationship with the doctrine on
38:44
the treatments it’s alright absolute attend because aram
38:53
in their daily life for their living whether no are they properly now
38:58
with the job that you’re doing because the possibly they’re trying to do
39:02
something that they’re really not meant to do and uh… i think you do have to
39:06
take that reflect them up and say
39:09
you know in my putting money at african to the right thing because yes it is
39:13
very interesting
39:15
and around so maybe this person is doing something that the might not be done
39:20
poem meant it to do in your life
39:23
people he t_v_ pt
39:25
that’s a great segue people dvd can do other people do
39:29
that often is the amount of energy they have to pump into their lives
39:33
to accomplish that so this gentleman may be doing alright that’s the amount of
39:37
time an effort and energy he’s having to put into his life just to keep afloat
39:40
right and i must wonder why it looks so easy for everybody else only it’s not
39:44
for them have high schools teachers of a member of educators with age t
39:49
and what with taken on a t_v_ teacher
39:52
maybe a couple of hours to do
39:54
my guys who take four or five hours and it’s very vexing impasse in self-esteem
39:59
just takes them longer than get there
40:01
so that might be another of
40:03
serve the treatment target
40:05
to keep that time
40:06
time down
40:07
we have a question here from wendy in toronto does a_d_d_ have an impact on
40:11
causing oregon faster baiting depression
40:14
due to goals and dreams not achieved during one’s lifetime
40:19
daniel would you like to temporarily says im go w s phone
40:24
we’re doing is struggling with your dreams and
40:26
when you got this disorder in the way it’s almost as if you always feel like
40:30
you’re a little bit behind everybody else you almost feel like
40:33
you wonder if there’s something wrong with you like r_u_ lacking some sort of
40:38
basic instinctive everybody else just seems to grasp it almost all at least be
40:42
grasping at straws
40:45
justin understand why
40:48
alright indus eighty delete a depression
40:51
uh…
40:52
i think eighty d
40:54
leads to low self esteem
40:56
i think it leads to the moralizing shin
41:00
feeling of being overwhelmed
41:02
and uh…
41:03
aptitude no under treatment
41:04
because these guys have tons of abilities
41:07
so it’s a deal with
41:09
syndrome not dead on arrival god to moralizing overwhelmed an aptitude and
41:14
achievement
41:15
so if you had that chronically in your life across the timeline
41:18
yeah that would that would cause a lot of lord mood now separate from that are
41:23
these are the conditions which could come along like major
41:26
depressive disorder
41:27
and sometimes treating with other medicines
41:30
or long with the a t_v_ couldn’t make a big difference in people’s lives we see
41:34
a lot of females
41:36
part go unrecognized karen i had this conversation allot of women go
41:40
unrecognized with this
41:42
often they’ll present with an anxiety or mood problems and
41:45
the doctor said okay that’s what it is
41:47
but she still has a lot of big dream innocence organization of forgetfulness
41:51
that she’s always there
41:53
in the any depressants don’t help that and she still feels very unrequited in
41:56
her life
41:58
so one
41:58
i think a trip on both sides low self esteem but also may be other conditions
42:02
which milk a separate treatment alright
42:04
i don’t think a lot when you were arm
42:07
young when your child in school you had certain accommodations
42:12
what do you need now is an adult
42:15
from
42:16
one thing
42:17
notes that stayed steady since i was a kid since i was a child in terms of
42:21
commendations would be
42:22
just extra time
42:25
they still haven’t really quite gotten a grasp of how long it’s going to take me
42:28
to do so and so if i can exam
42:31
appearance
42:32
twenty five questions with cerebral com
42:37
being our into the exam realize that i’m only on the second question bangkok
42:41
smooths
42:42
it’s it’s like that
42:44
sometimes some
42:46
like mine on the same time
42:48
you can’t eat you can hyper focus because actually enjoy doing since
42:52
mister thing and then i’d alone usually do very well on the bomb
42:56
because i can and they kazaa and and intrigued by the stimulation it’s just a
43:01
lot of stimulation right at that time in it and i love that guides and that’s
43:04
where i feel like sela most ads and it’s right there so it’s a really challenge
43:08
myself to do it
43:10
and it takes a lot of me but i love it
43:13
one what i find is that i get so into it that is to lose concept of time i was
43:17
concept of everything else by organization like my writing always gets
43:20
a lot sloppy or a cousin running really fast trying to get my ideas out
43:24
go to read through it in a missing forwards and
43:27
that sort of thing so
43:29
when i can when i when i do really upon myself to that uh… ends up
43:35
still and distracted and still and disorganized ok one
43:40
so if you have time time extra time has definitely always there
43:45
undp is at something you can ask for university
43:48
yes i think there are no stationarity on status of the essence of fairly common
43:52
ones and retrain finance radon
43:55
wealthy assignments it’s it’s about
43:57
giving yourself an extra time and realize okay i’m not going to go out
44:00
tonight anthony display right now you’re working now no yet what accomodations do
44:04
you need in the workplace to make it better
44:05
uh… actually i’ve been on
44:07
i am fortunate enough to work in an environment that’s that is quite
44:11
stimulating on the spot sort of thing i’m working on
44:15
building this kind of thing for actually t_v_ studios in the house
44:18
go around and around this is that send bright
44:22
commercials and just different things like that and it’s basically right now
44:24
i’m just like a labor like helping people but anything they need so
44:28
uh… i can be doing so in a couple of times
44:32
disco daily tasks that i go through them is not on the list or anything but i
44:35
just go and check around the shop to see what needs to be done saluted and it’s
44:39
not a huge changes all the time right source and then the carpenter may call
44:43
me and say can you help me with this really quickly and ironically all
44:46
different things and i can you know like and i do agree with them and it only
44:51
takes maybe a vote
44:52
five minutes each aspect
44:54
some take longer but you know they come always stimulated antenna stimulation of
44:59
which is great
45:00
and i actually find i work two jobs work that john full-time
45:04
end i have uh… part-time job at the bush than ever
45:07
to the movie theatre m
45:09
and i work there maybe only about
45:12
for five hours a shift and i find that i get so much more tired working there
45:15
because there’s less to do
45:17
and i do lifting to the like pieces of steel gregg z you know like because the
45:23
exactly because i can look around milwaukee what can i do and just really
45:26
know what you’re here till five
45:28
give yourself sewing to do and
45:31
okay they must love u haha
45:34
we have another question here from kate in toronto
45:37
my son has a dat is now it it and is now in great wealth my husband and i
45:41
disagree as to how much support we should give him in terms of making sure
45:44
he does his homework
45:46
over the years we have provided a lot of tools for him i think that we need to
45:50
start to back off so that he can develop his own system to survive in university
45:54
and after that in the work force
45:56
but we don’t want to see him fail what is the right approach
46:00
this question is for you carolina regularly ah… it’s a very difficult
46:05
balance that you have to here you’re always walking that line and i i i think
46:09
you’re walking that link everyday
46:11
and the the situation painters
46:14
come on
46:15
ongoing basis so you know in our own
46:18
i really haven’t stopped being a parent even though i have to sort of move
46:23
myself away i hope that by eft i’d have informed him enough to given him the
46:28
enough skills that he can advocate for himself
46:31
and that these people can can do that for their son and give him the
46:35
empowerment to go ahead forward and work on his own it’s certainly possible but
46:41
grown as a parent gate you can’t just stand back in just al you’re going to
46:45
feel bike story i did my job the can’t right now so
46:49
i think it is almost always a balance and i’ll just have to know went to give
46:54
a little more going to take a little back but it’s something that you do
46:57
every day
46:59
it’s a great it’s a great question
47:01
is considering another no i’ve seen thousands of great mothers and the keep
47:06
pitch enough for the kids
47:09
the issue going to call each though that’s a big transitional one from grade
47:13
twelve first university the dropout rate with untreated eighty
47:16
steve’s nantes
47:18
that’s pretty significant
47:19
always multiple demands an executive functioning
47:22
looking after yourself all distractions
47:25
lots of drugs and alcohol binge drinking in universe in college all of that
47:29
so i think that’s a very vulnerable period
47:32
and i would be pulling back at that point
47:35
a_d_d_ people can do what other people do it takes them longer to acquire those
47:39
skills
47:40
and i think that particular bridge is a very very calicut one
47:45
op
47:46
at our clinics we see a lot of kits from various universities have dropped out
47:50
for the first year
47:51
he could produce course loans untreated they’re leaving everything to the
47:55
hospital mint
47:56
how were they learn the skills
47:58
advocacy it at the university health centers is fine
48:03
but they need help to learn how to
48:06
advocate for themselves and be consistent
48:09
with a lot of these actions as a lot of chronic inconsistent sir
48:13
consistent inconsistency asked with haiti
48:16
and on
48:17
you know i think universe is like a drop it’s a very demanding job and i think
48:20
for people with a_t_t_ it’s fair chance although mother ship the parrot should
48:24
stay involved why would stay involved
48:26
okay well yeah i totally agree with talia iraq and i i i i’m personally and
48:31
looking at him leaving
48:32
to go to bc we’ve heard that is very scary consultant we’re spending this
48:36
year
48:38
developing a lot of this type of you know thinking in right so i don’t see
48:44
how where where it’s going to going to take this entire year to do that for him
48:48
to go that far away okay
48:50
we have our phone call from marlena enought awhile
48:53
hi marlena
48:57
marlena
49:02
all i hear something now i’m on a nightmare
49:06
finally now welcome to the show
49:09
what’s your question
49:12
it didn’t work
49:13
some conflict between
49:17
attention deficit charger
49:19
and had fight poverty doctors particularly in we hope everything that
49:23
i was wondering if you look at the time princes life
49:28
when they are visible tourette
49:30
for example
49:32
detailing your to continue misdeeds
49:35
you know your threshold if at all trucks again in your twenties you’re really
49:39
twenty-three year needle looking after you
49:42
and then in your thirties when you’re at least sexual peak
49:46
that the threat of marker point but that look for
49:50
banknote pingback polarity
49:52
right
49:53
and i’m putting tactic unpaired that linked to that
49:57
if you have operation would hyperactive kids ordered
50:01
i’m co-starred
50:04
by the time to bring the picture has become too much of the instantly
50:08
abilities to inhibit one speech
50:11
more attractive and i was just wondering
50:15
institu infantile
50:18
fumes toh or misdiagnosed okay thank you that’s a great question let me know
50:22
thanks
50:23
until differed in recruit christian
50:26
so
50:27
it’s called colour bidding so eighty h_d_ trial for the onset
50:32
the issue of childhood bipolar disorders very controversial
50:36
however is very clear that people who have trouble on city xti
50:41
could later developed bipolar dance around the age of eighteen nineteen
50:45
the bipolar becomes part of an issue
50:48
and we did it recent right review in our files and uh… of
50:51
all of our files about forty five
50:54
of these files revealed by portent too which is from the milder version of my
50:58
parcel
50:59
because this villains looting this before with disorders and zones
51:05
bipolar is a mood disorders they have to have mood symptoms depression and the
51:09
reverse of that which is mania
51:12
eighty d doesn’t have any mood symptoms there can be irritability and more
51:16
frustration tolerance
51:18
but then people very quickly get over that
51:20
and it’s you know the facts
51:22
to base line and we also going on my goodness what went on
51:27
bipolar is a very different issue
51:29
protracted periods of real depression withdrawal sadness
51:33
and end the flip about that manic symptoms
51:36
so age t doesn’t have mood symptoms and that’s the discriminating
51:41
there are speech doesn’t change their sexual doesn’t change
51:46
energy levels are at risk
51:47
so invite or all of these things are influx depending on
51:50
what kind of mood swing their actual m sonar clinics the summit comes in sicily
51:55
predominate my main thing main problem is
51:58
mood swings then i’m starting to think about the bipolar right off the top
52:02
right okay
52:03
we have a phone call from james in toronto hijinks
52:07
hyder hi there
52:08
you can go ahead with your question
52:11
located
52:13
okay my question really
52:17
digital technology internet about the people of color et cetera
52:24
potential impact classification dede htn perhaps even that may be off topic march
52:29
abroad
52:31
distraction
52:34
have red
52:36
and uh…
52:37
spending uh… too much time reading on the internet persist pieper
52:41
seriously impact
52:43
here’s your randall development
52:46
and i’m just wondering where
52:48
the increasing interest in tow
52:52
spending time online oppose various
52:55
media
52:57
if that happened it correct complicated compromise concentration
53:02
from home to keep your peppers sales
53:05
thank you that’s interesting what do you think kim
53:09
you can certainly complicate
53:11
of the course of eighty eight steve blue in our book we’ve looked at internet
53:14
addiction
53:15
we call it the addiction because actually mutated to
53:18
gameboy and
53:20
playing brick breaker on your own black parents so forth
53:23
but the data from china and korea is that clearly people if they teach here
53:27
much more prone to internet addiction
53:30
we screen for that in our clinics
53:33
now where they’re spending huge amounts of time
53:36
on the computer
53:37
would
53:39
have a pseudo kind of a media thinkers
53:41
is not something that we know scientifically
53:44
but we certainly know that people with a beach here much more prone to internet
53:48
addiction
53:48
and that’s that
53:50
constant source of novelty
53:52
and as they can spend
53:54
inordinate amounts of time world warcraft starcraft a
53:57
you know whatever counter-strike sixty eight hours no bathroom breaks all about
54:03
one so that’s why we we kind of dispute this attention deficit
54:07
kind of title because those guys have lots of attention for that right
54:11
my research and people that i’ve i’ve met along the way
54:15
there are a lot of people who work in the digital world that are a_t_t_ and
54:20
the excel the hours of it right there were so yes
54:24
right right them so i mean you’re reacting to have to take a look at the
54:27
flip side always in the
54:29
certainly there can be the downside
54:31
bikes again you can make it work for you
54:34
we have an email question here from toronto someone who was married to
54:39
someone with a d_h_ d
54:41
what suggestions do you have for someone who is struggling with the styles who is
54:44
eighty h d and a child with a d_h_ d it’s not fun always being the
54:49
responsible one
54:52
is really really tough for me
54:55
but eight p_b_h_g_ is is in my family are obviously m
55:00
and i think and testing great knowing i think not the most of my young
55:04
fixing my stepbrother was diagnosed with a you see in he’s
55:08
he’s the one if that’s not the genetic component thought that
55:13
i watch him and his wife worked together and i see how hard she has to work to
55:19
keep him on task is ok give me some examples of what that looks like well to
55:25
expects that it is going to forget whatever he goes out the door you know
55:29
cadet
55:30
so she has to or she does she doesn’t have to betsy over prepares
55:35
and so i see the attached is a very big bird and on the person
55:40
without a_t_t_
55:41
and and from you know i guess my own opinion used to have
55:47
it
55:48
doesn’t mean that you are not that your irresponsible and so he doesn’t mean it
55:52
because you have it that you let someone else take over all of these tasks
55:56
you have to figure out how to be and equal partner and to realize that this
56:01
is something that you have a challenge to to go through
56:05
figure out a way between the two of you what are you good at and what i might
56:09
get and then sort of work at it together unit
56:14
and i think that this person though may be struggling a lot so she has a child
56:20
dvd’s psi has been
56:22
yes as you step in the middle of the often this is what we call
56:27
compensatory burden where she’ll struggling to manage
56:31
the child and her own life of scott lots of things what supposed to juggle
56:36
so our
56:37
so it can really cause a tremendous amount of stress what i would suggest
56:42
is going to the pediatrician who may be treating the child
56:45
or her own family doctor and say look you know it’s eighty percent genetic
56:49
of the staff of the same fall far from the tree
56:52
could we get an evaluation download because an
56:56
marital discord these women burnout
57:00
the get pulled into a negra lipsky
57:03
some of some wiesel so you know it’s like having a second child
57:08
often and that’s a really said stressful situation
57:11
okay what happens to add two adults who are not
57:15
who may have a beach deep in our left and right now xd what are the
57:18
consequences
57:19
soltahr
57:20
across the timeline under achievement sold dropping at a university have a lot
57:24
of people almost god the universe victory
57:28
are they kept tremendous i have a gentleman that i’ve treated
57:31
uh… who had tremendous abilities musical area and he ended up painting
57:35
houses which is not a bad thing
57:37
but he thought he had enough ability to be in a symphony so
57:40
way under achieved
57:42
beget tetanus total passed over for promotions
57:46
fifteen to twenty five percent twenty five thousand dollars to two to five
57:50
thousand dollars reduction in pay just because of the
57:54
misdiagnosis a page t
57:56
so there are a lot of areas where they suffer and under his chronic under
58:01
achievement
58:03
driving a car
58:05
bothersome data around agency drivers distract ability being a big issue so
58:10
increased incidence of car crashes yeah
58:13
some pretty serious consequences yeah there are several they can
58:17
even though i suspect in c so i mean as think
58:20
and getting addicted to drugs and wanted to know
58:23
pregnancies a lot of things that can happen
58:26
untreated dislike two-story street in untreated right
58:29
yeah very different stories it sounds like
58:31
how we’re going to wrap your minutes i’ll ask each of you what would you like
58:34
tam what would you like adults to know
58:37
about uh… what would you like people to know about adult eighty h d
58:40
uh… that it’s common
58:43
that if you have somebody in your family who hasn’t
58:45
and you’re still struggling self-esteem is being impacted by
58:50
under achievement
58:52
for yourself
58:53
not compared to other people
58:55
that there are one wonderful treatments
58:58
that you can get help
59:00
and your life will take a different trajectory
59:03
and not to lose hope
59:05
and to to share this with the people and
59:08
be evaluated
59:10
for if you suspect that
59:12
daniel what would you like people to know about adolph eighty h d
59:16
i think it’s a bad
59:18
don’t go it alone
59:19
and have people yourself
59:21
and make sure you have a good team to help you out through it
59:24
confront
59:25
and if you try to go your own
59:27
you know and it is too long
59:30
what would you like people semi-fat al fayed each day
59:33
bum
59:35
one like them to me
59:37
saline what i like them to know but just the way i’d like them to approach it
59:42
missus not from a negative flight and from a primer positive light right there
59:46
because um…
59:47
we tend to look at a it’s called a disorder right but what really is
