ADHD as a Disorder of Self Regulation & Executive Function (Dr Russell Barkley)

 

Oh my this is fascinating & really explanatory but I’m sorry Dr B I’m going to issue my own counter to your pro pharmaceutical message. If stimulant medicine helps normalise executive function in ADHD then using natural alternatives as needed will work just as well with less problems/less insult to the body imho, this is just how it works. Pharma, to make profits has to make patents, natural molecules are unpatentable so generate no interest or research from Pharma Corps. If Pharma can make it nature has been there already & it will be much much cheaper without shareholder dividends. 

I’m just updating with a comment about sugar. Dr’s comment about sugar on this I believe is rather unhelpful. I’m bigly anti-sugar generally but the less refined the better obviously, some of those mineral rich raw cane juice sugars are ok, I’m big honey head, since my teens, it’s my main carb I think embarrassingly…. 😊😋 real raw single hive honey preferably. 

So that said -  brilliant insightful short video that describes the ADHD inability to act. “You can know stuff, but you won’t do stuff” - so helpful to have this described so clearly 🙏
