Today, we're revisiting a critical topic: how to diagnose if you have ADHD based on symptoms. We've touched on this before, but this time, we'll provide more nuanced information because since ADHD was added to the DSM in the early 90s, we've learned that it doesn't always look the same for everyone else covering symptoms from all three ADHD types, differences in presentation between boys and men, girls and women, racial disparities in diagnosis, and how symptoms may present differently across cultural, ethnic, and economic groups.

I'm thankful for my ADHD, even blessed by it. I believe in nature and evolution, as well as spirituality. Nature, god, evolution, or whatever you define it as doesn't make mistakes. The more I learned about my inability to focus, I began to see it as less of a sickness and almost like an intellectual immune response to keep me away from things that weren't meant for me; it was protection shielding me from something very unnatural for humans.

No new episode this week but now is the time to comment on the show!

This is part two of explaining the Adderall crisis. In the last episode, we discussed the brief history of amphetamines and why there is an Adderall shortage today. Here's a quick recap.: • We learned that the natural stimulant Ephedra shortage in the 1920s likely caused the initial creation of synthetic amphetamines that we rely on to treat inattention and other conditions today. • We also learned that amphetamines started as a decongestant and nasal spray used to create the amphetamine we know today by accident. • We also learned that the short supply of amphetamine-based drugs in 2023 is very confusing since the supplies needed to make dextroamphetamine today are abundant because we switched to synthetic formulas about a hundred years ago. • Contradictions from the DEA, FDA, and drug manufacturers complicate official explanations of the current drought. • A post on Reddit broke the news of the Adderall shortage months later, and the FDA like felt pressured to make an official statement announcing the shortage. I say they likely felt pressured because when asked why they waited so long, their reply was that they didn't want to start a panic. • The FDA claims that we're experiencing a nationwide shortage because of a company called Teva. • Teva says they're experiencing problems because of a rising packaging line issue during covid. But then said the issue had been resolved and average production would resume in the summer of 2022, yet, here we are in the middle of 2023, and things seem to have seemingly become worse. • We learned that the DEA regulates the supplies and quotas of the raw materials used to make amphetamine. They say there is no shortage of amphetamine and that, in fact, there is an excess and leftover supply of raw materials from the previous quota. Still, they need to find out which company has it.

Where does Adderall come from? The decongestant properties of amphetamine were discovered by accident in the 1920s. In 1927, a Romanian chemist named Lazăr Edeleanu synthesized amphetamine for the first time, but he did not recognize its stimulant properties. Instead, he used it to create a nasal decongestant called Benzedrine. Edeleanu was looking for a synthetic substitute for ephedrine, a natural decongestant derived from the ephedra plant, which was in short supply then. He synthesized amphetamine by reacting phenylacetone with ammonia and reducing the resulting product with zinc and hydrochloric acid. During the 1930s and 1940s, amphetamines were prescribed by doctors and became a popular ingredient in many over-the-counter remedies. The military began using amphetamines to keep soldiers vigilant and diminish combat fatigue during World War II. It seems the only reason we have focus drugs like Ritalin, Adderall, and Vyvanse (at all) is partly because of the availability of natural ingredients used to make stimulants in the past and how difficult it was to maintain and distribute naturally derived ingredients with finite lifespans and supplies. That's why it is odd to me that the problem of scarcity we aimed to eliminate in the first place has returned after creating synthetic alternatives that work even better. How come there's a shortage of Adderall in 2023? The answer is confusing. - Binaural Beats Playlist - Abndtadhd.com

You spend one-third of your life sleeping, and you spend another third of your life working. Eight hours of sleep, eight hours of work. Within an entire day, you have just eight hours of your waking life to spend with yourself. With such little time, it's understandable why you stopped drawing, writing stories, podcasting, adhering to a healthy diet, drinking more water, trying to start a business, and more, especially if you have ADHD! As someone with neurodivergence, you may have struggled with setting and achieving goals. Whether completing a task at work or reaching a personal milestone, it can be challenging to stay focused and motivated with all of the other things life requires us to do. An actual statistic says if you have ADHD, you're three times more like to start a business than anyone else. There's something you have passion for, and out of all the jobs and classes that failed to grab your interest, I guarantee you've remained passionate about "something" all the while, so why aren't you doing that now?

The eye movements or other bilateral stimulation used in EMDR therapy are believed to facilitate communication between the brain's two hemispheres, which may help process traumatic memories more effectively. It was explained to me as calming down the part of your conscious brain that looks for stressors (amygdala and prefrontal cortex) and keeping it distracted enough to deal with things you may actively suppress. Francine Shapiro founded Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. She discovered it in 1987 while taking a walk in the park. At the time, Shapiro was experiencing personal distress. She noticed that her eye movements seemed to reduce the intensity of her negative emotions. Intrigued, she began experimenting with eye movements while recalling traumatic memories, and she found that the eye movements appeared to facilitate the processing of the memories.

Music is powerful and can evoke emotion and memories when people hear it. I'm 35 now, but whenever I put on the song "One Call Away" by Chingy, it immediately takes me back to feeling Seventeen again. It would be redundant to mention that music can make you want to move your body.; but have you ever associated music with work or focus? Okay, the first association with music is likely different from how it can make you more productive compared to all the feel-good properties it provides to the human experience. Whenever I listen to my favorite songs while sitting at my desk writing blogs and podcast episodes like this one, the last thing that will help me concentrate is a song with dense lyrics. Of course, instrumental music, like study beats or classical, is the best genre for making you pay attention, except for the type of music scientifically designed to help you concentrate.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals of all ages and genders. It is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While ADHD has historically been considered a disorder that predominantly affects boys and men, recent research has shown that ADHD symptoms in women can manifest differently than in men. Understanding these differences is crucial for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The standard criteria for diagnosing behaviors associated with ADHD is a bit outdated. That's because it's explicitly designed to address neurodivergent symptoms in men and boys. As mentioned earlier, that's a problem, and let's talk about why.  It's a typical O.G. ADHD symptom. Both men and women experience inattention, but as we'll find with all symptoms, The only difference is whether they express it internally or externally.  For example, when it comes to inattention, women may need help overcoming procrastination, might experience difficulty starting tasks, and be more forgetful. Women may also need help keeping track of their belongings, engaging in conversations, not interrupting others, and maintaining routines.  Men with ADHD, on the other hand, can be more prone to externalizing their inattention. They may struggle with impulsivity, distractibility, and difficulty with self-regulation. Free ADHD Symptom Quiz Free e-EMDR Stress and Anxiety Buster (Lowkey beta testing this feature right now🧐.

Cleaning and organizing can be daunting for anyone, but it can be incredibly challenging for people with ADHD. The combination of distractibility and impulsivity can make cleaning and organizing overwhelming and frustrating. However, with the right strategies, people with ADHD can successfully clean and organize their homes. A clean space is a happy space, and clutter tends to poorly affect my focus whenever my office is untidy. Even so, the thought of cleaning and organizing induces waves of anxiety and procrastination for me. It may be challenging, but there are scientifically proven benefits to having a clean environment.  For example, a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience in 2011 found that clutter in the visual field competes for attention, making it harder to focus and process information. Another study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology in 2013 found that an organized workspace improved performance on tasks requiring focus and mental stamina. Moreover, a messy workspace can also contribute to increased stress levels, which can further reduce productivity. A study published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin in 2010 found that women who described their homes as cluttered or chaotic had higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol than women who described their homes as restful or restorative. I say all of that to stress the importance of keeping a clean and tidy space. Try not to freak out. I know this entire monologue may be triggering for some of you, but overcoming the fear of controlling the chaos in your environment can significantly improve your ADHD symptoms.

In grade school, you may notice you're different than your peers. You love to talk a lot, even when the teacher is talking. People might seem drawn to you. Who has time for homework? It's more fun to daydream. As you age, your sense of wonder isn't as appreciated as it was. It's expected of us all, at some point, to give up on our dreams. It's never said outright, but daydreaming out the window, both lose their charm and hall pass in our society beyond a certain age. I get it. It's a survival thing. How can you feed yourself if you're daydreaming at work? School is more of a boot camp to cement a hard fundamental truth deep into our skulls. Being an adult is not fun, and neurodivergent people have few satisfying career options. No matter how much educational programming we watch, the hours we spend in restrictive classrooms and cubicles, or how much fluoride we brush into our gums, we can't be swayed toward normalcy. I'm not trying to glorify ADHD or its symptoms by any means. Neurodivergence can be exhausting. Losing things, forgetting appointments, having the tendency toward chasing addiction, thriving only in the highs of life, and supplementing in any way possible during the lows. I'd about do anything sometimes to keep my mind from shutting down and becoming a force against me like it always does in the end. Given the circumstances, I still wouldn't trade it for anything. There's something special about neurodivergence, truly. When you do the research, you learn that the prevalence of ADHD is significantly higher amongst those who share ancestry with ancient people who migrated frequently. That tells me a lot. Perspective is everything, and now I wonder if ADHD is somehow a natural defense against the onset of homogeneous culture and its complacency-promoting tendencies instead of being a "screw-up." We are ancient nomads in modern times. Instead of fighting bears and hastily digging irrigation ditches by hand, today, we discover electricity and send people to the moon. It requires the same set of "muscles" to pursue tasks that reach beyond the stretches of human understanding.  A bit ago, I published an article called "The Top 6 Fictional Characters Who Have ADHD". I had lots of fun, and it's entertaining, but I think it would've been much more empowering to do an article about real people with ADHD. So here it is, "Top 7 High Achievers with ADHD".

In 1999, a genetic make-up study was conducted on 2,320 people from 39 different groups at the University of Carolina-Irvine. The Mbuti tribe from Africa, the Hahn Chinese, and the North American Cheyenne natives were just a few. When they studied the migration patterns of their ancestors, they found that the groups with higher amounts of migration had a predominance of what scientists named “the long allele of the dopamine transmitter gene.” It’s a variant of the d4 receptor called 7 R. You don't need to understand all that; the point is scientists now say it’s a definitive precursor for ADHD (neurodivergence).   Book: The ADHD Advantage, Dale Archer MD Free ADHD Symptom Quiz  Free e-EMDR Stress and Anxiety Buster (Lowkey beta testing this feature right now🧐.

Recent research offers considerable evidence that ADHD is not a “willpower thing,” even though, in many ways, it appears to be a lack of willpower. When individuals with ADHD are faced with a task that is really interesting to them, not because someone told them that it ought to be interesting — but because it is interesting to them at that moment — that perception, conscious or unconscious, changes the chemistry of the brain instantly. This process is not under voluntary control.  Free ADHD Symptom Quiz Free e-EMDR Stress and Anxiety Buster (Lowkey beta testing this feature right now🧐. Be the first to try it!
