Tuning out to disassociate makes my ADHD make so much more sense now.

It’s a valid theory. Most ADHD theories are based solely on the physiological and biological pov.No one touches more upon trauma and psychological perspective.There are many people who have developed adhd symptoms later in life after going through traumatic experiences.We tend to to see every thing in black and white. Rather than ignoring his pov as completely rubbish, it’s a new perspective to look at and dig into. Maybe there is something.

In my opinion, One condition in this society is the lack of patience for young children, children are picking up on stress from external forces and often times are on survival mode unable to concentrate at school. Wish we could be more tolerant as a society and allow young minds to fully develop during those early years in education.

Work on your gut flora! Learn about brain Gym! Look into emdr for trauma! See if you can rent a neurofeedback machine for a month and do it every day! Stay away from critical people! Get outside move your body be creative! Stay away from street drugs! Simplify your life! Make things easy! Have more time off, even if you are more poor as a result And you will come out waaaay better than before

I also have ADHD ,am also a recovering alcoholic ( sober 16 years ) . I identify completely with Mates speech, especially trauma and impulsiveness. Who's asking you anyway , you said " if you ask me " , nobody is . Thinking with experience , and openmindness outside the box gathers more knowledge i would say .

Quite obviously, Maté confuses ADHD with CPTSD. There exists ADHD without trauma.

What hasn't been mentioned is the connection between heart, brain, and gut. When the balance is off, all sorts of things can go wrong: ADHD, depression, Parkinson's, Schizophrenia, OCD, etc...Gabor wont tell us that bc it is not his field. I'm reading the Three Brains again by Karen Jensen, ND, and recommend the book.

He is wrong. It actually is primarily gene-related. BUt BUT but - mainly the genes in our gut flora - yes - fix the gut flora! (and stress and trauma has effect on gut flora and its metabolites (many of which are neurochemicals) but the diet component is big, and the sterility of environment).

It's a mystery...so many ppl have it, u almost think it's normal.
-
Mate is talking out of his ass on this subjecy
-

Adhd could be a aspect from the stone age. There gives the hunter farmer theory, and that could be answer

Has anyone ever thought of the pregnant mother drinking coffee causing ADHD? (Or at least partially)...just curious.
