If you are wondering about how ADHD presents, particularly in adults, then have a look through these suggestions as a good place to start.
- YouTube Channel: How to ADHD. I thoroughly recommend this video on How to (Explain) ADHD if you are wondering if you have it, or want to know more about it. They are all short but engaging videos that are well explained.
- Article: The Most Common Low Dopamine Symptoms. A very interesting article on what some of the symptoms look like.
- Website: DSM-5 Diagnostic Criteria for ADHD. This is official criteria that the psychiatrists use to diagnose ADHD in children and adults.
- Article: Does ADHD Get Worse with Age? TLDR; “ADHD doesn’t usually intensify as you get older, but symptoms may change or you may find they impact you in a different way.“
Also, this article says a similar thing: Can Your ADHD Get Worse as You Age? - YouTube: My playlist of various ADHD videos. (in no particular order) I watched when trying to learn more about it, and work out if I have it (turns out I do).
- YouTube Channel: Dr. Tracey Marks. These videos are also great for learning more about ADHD. I really like her direct and matter-of-fact style. Try her video called How ADHD Looks Different in Adults.
- YouTube Channel: Psych2Go videos on ADHD. These videos are also great for learning more about ADHD, and are also short and engaging. They also have a lot of other great videos on related and other mental health topics
- YouTube Channel: HealthyGamerGG. He has a lot of interesting videos on mental health, sometimes with reference to gaming. More adult and in depth oriented discussions. Dr K also has a website with lots of useful information on mental health.
- Article: Declining dopamine may explain why older people take fewer risks. Interesting thought…
