Yes, and it would help if General Practitioners knew to screen for this because it caused me to lose nearly everything I had. It was that bad.

Don't Listen to Inject Yourself With Bleach, a Cleansing, Trump or #BrainWormBoy #RFKJr. Don't pay any attention whatsoever to what Donald Trump has to say about Medicine We've got to follow medical science, we've got to follow the evidence. UK Health Secretary youtu.be/67DY9kNN2do?...

New research links ADHD medication to reduced risk of suicidal behaviors, accidents, and crime

“We didn’t evolve in an environment with so much sugar, and now it’s so easily available. We just eat it all the time,” he says. Similarly, “we didn’t evolve in an environment with so much information, and now there is so much available. We just consume information all the time.”

Through interviews, eye-tracking and measuring electrical activity in the brain, she hopes to challenge the deficits-based narrative around ADHD by exploring how curiosity operates in university students with the condition. www.sciencenews.org/article/adhd...

How much stigma is there against ADHD? Doctors confirmed her colleague’s suspicions But fearing professional stigma, Le Cunff — by then by then a postdoctoral fellow in the ADHD Lab at King’s College London — kept her ( ADHD) diagnosis secret until this year www.sciencenews.org/article/adhd...

“Humans evolved in a world marked by resource scarcity and unpredictability. Having people impulsive — and curious — enough to explore unknown or dangerous situations would have helped their group’s survival”. #scicomm #ADHD #hypercuriosity www.sciencenews.org/article/adhd... 🧪 🧠

I forget where I first saw someone connect the dots between “men didn’t used to have so much ADHD” and “men used to be smoking cigarettes 24 hours a day indoors while chugging black coffee and having their secretaries organize all their work for them.”

Ify Nwadiwe on getting diagnosed with ADHD:

Realizing that you have inattentive adhd as an adult is difficult when you know you were diagnosed with depression as a child for “low motivation” and being upset about the low motivation when the low motivation was actually adhd

The sight gags never get old.

“Get Smart” premieres 60 years ago tonight, on NBC. “I was sick of looking at all those nice, sensible situation comedies,” Mel Brooks said. “They were such distortions of life. .. No one had ever done a show about an idiot before. I decided to be the first.”

I'm sorry I really don't remember the details now but I had someone lay out to me how critical coal-fueled warships and supply chain was and how switching to oil completely ripped out so many of those limitations from war planning. Energy density meant fleets could now maneuver+endure aggressively.

We all know industrial revolution but the actual hyper-advancement it drove in being able to field armies in ways we now see utterly primordial has deep dichotomy to our fiction. Understanding of the scale of warfare completely disengaged with anything humanly before.

One of the best ways to understand the problems of having ADHD is to hear the stories of the people who have ADHD. Here are some Articles on the experiences of having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. addcoach4u.com/experiences-...

Emotion dysregulation has been implicated in depression risk in neurodivergent adolescents. In RE-STAR we are comparing Emotion Regulation Deficits (ERD) and Emotional Burden (EB) as potential mechanisms underpinning this risk in a study fully coproduced with #autistic and #adhd young people

"Among the six local authority areas, Lothian stands out as ranking highest/joint highest in five of six domains. A closer look at the data found a specific service named consistently in positive reports of the assessment experience." We await further information on why funding has been withdrawn.

As the report on this research says, Number 6 "appears to offer a clear and accessible pathway for referral to diagnosis and robust post-diagnostic support. Respondents commended its responsiveness, structure, and the quality of care delivered" It's a model that could be emulated across Scotland.

In our recent research on Autistic experiences of assessment in Scotland, with @arghscotland.bsky.social, @semascot.bsky.social and @scottishautism.bsky.social, Edinburgh stood out as having the best experiences, thanks to Number 6. We have just learned that they have lost funding for this service.

Can anyone put us in touch with any journalists in Scotland with an interest in disability or neurodivergence? It's starting to look like the withdrawal of funding from the best autism assessment services in Scotland is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks! #Autistic #ADHD #ScotPol #Edinburgh

Upside of #ADHD : massive brainstorming capacity. Downside of ADHD: massive “stormbraining” capacity.

"small government"

My mother, father & brother all were able to die at home with family because they had home health aids who are immigrants. The best people you’ll ever meet, this country benefits from immigrants, we should welcome them & be thankful.

Eliminating the caregivers is a way of eliminating the patients (by depriving them of care). Republicans not only know this, but are counting on it. If the familes of the sick and aged can't take care of their own, then let them die. It's cheaper that way.

They’ve been quietly updating Filial Responsibility laws across the country. Their goal is to remove all government subsidized care for the elderly/disabled and more it onto the families whether they want to, have a relationship with them, or are able to. And if you don’t? They’ll still make you pay

About 90 million fools didn’t think that their families and their communities and their own lives were worth going to the polls and the hand of the country over to a dictator.

I blame every single Trump voter and all the people that sat out and did not vote … We’re fucked because of all of you!

I've a neighbor with Alzheimer's. Her caretaker, who's looked after her for three years, was nabbed in a routine hearing (she is documented) and sent to the Philippines. The woman's husband, a fairly fanatical Trump supporter, is furious. I feel for her, less so for him.

The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.

With a President Harris, I could have found #homecare for my #patients using #Medicare and taken relaxing international vacations. Now, my frail patients are stuck in hospital for months unless we send them home to die, and I am more burned out than I was intern year of #residency

Remember when the USA decided to massively restrict access to opioid analgesics in response to abuse and addiction? And immediately a supply of heroin appeared to replace it. Well, the methamphetamine business is going to be busy.

The alt med/MAHA grifters hate psychiatric drugs as much as Scientology does because they prey on people who are emotionally unwell and lots of the people running the grifts are also mentally unwell and deluded. They sell psychosis as enlightenment.

There will also be many kids failing school or face a range of negative consequences if they don’t get their ADHD meds.

I take 20mg adderall ER first thing in the morning so I can focus through my work day. I do not get any sort of recreational effect from it - I can just think, and do. I can function without but everything takes so, so much longer because I struggle to start and focus on tasks. I also have less

If you’re worried about overprescribing of stimulants, please push for greater access to healthcare, including things like psychological evaluations and child development/child psych evals. But ultimately, Rx stims have incredible success rates when used appropriately.

I’m not willing to devote the energy to a protracted fight about “who needs adderall”. That’s a question you can’t answer unless you are the person’s prescriber. But ADHD runs the gamut from mild distractibility to “will burn the house down bc I will not remember to turn off the stove”.

Meth has never gone away. But in recent years the market has grown, consolidated, and embraced a synthetic process that’s highly efficient and utilizes machines and ingredients that realistically can’t be banned. This is horrible timing to push people off of the medicine that keeps them functional.

The right has been not-subtly gearing up to go after Rx stimulants for some time now, so as a researcher of drug use and overdose prevention, allow me to assure you that taking away Rx stimulants from people who need them will EXPLODE the unregulated stimulant market. Aka people will go to meth.

Small sample size but this study found 35% of practicing #doctors have #ADHD - let's just say there are a fair number of doctors who need stimulants to do their job in a country with a severe #doctor shortage (and even more are on SSRIs)

Y’all, you have no idea how much this means to me. I have raging, untreated #ADHD, am unable to not multitask, cannot sit still, suffer major #depression, #PTSD, & #anxiety, yet somehow managed to meditate every single day for 162 days in a row, a new personal best. It was hard but I did it. Proud.☺️

Red states rely on the money from Blue states to function. This can all be over the second Democratic governors actually wield their power.

Where are these governors? Why do I not see them raising hell like Gavin Newsom? Democratic Governors by State (As of Mid-2025)
