She literally explained ADHD is a response to stress and not a genetic disease.

What nonsense, people who have PTSD or CPTSD or Trauma can be mistaken for having ADHD. And that`s what they are describing here. ADHD is NOT stress ffs. As for the comment about more people being diagnosed.. ahaha maybe he should try rubbing some bran cells together. It`s not difficult to work out at all. Better information and data about anything means its easier to spot. That isn't rocket science! but this guy sure is a rocket! 🚀

if that was true, taking medications to help with focus wouldn't fucking work. and for most they do. This is not anything but a hypothosis with no scientific backing. ADHD is a neurological developmental disorder. I have ADHD, Its not a fucking disease. Learn the difference.

Dr Gabor Mate is a powerful force in #neurodiversity,however I don't agree with his school of thought about causes of ADHD

Then why did I have it way before any significant stress markers?

Then why my whole family got ADHD - like 3 generations of ppl — when there was nothing major in their lives to stress about? This is bullshit.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition with high heritability (~70–80% in twin studies). Stress can worsen symptoms, but it doesn’t explain the strong genetic signal, early onset, consistent brain differences.

I have it, as does my dad and at least one of his sisters. Probably his father. My dad grew up in rural Brazil. We also have some sort of weird leg weakness thing that worsens with age, leaving almost all my relatives in his side in wheel chairs later in life. I think ADHD is somehow related to our legs in the way glucose is processed by the large thigh muscles. I’ve seen in myself that when I run in the mornings, I feel nearly normal.

He* literally hypothesised* that ADHD is a response to stress and not a genetic disease

ADHD is fear, apprehension, and avoidance to having to do uncomfortale things. People think they can’t do some task unless they feel up to it. But the that never happens with uncomfortable tasks. You just have to do them. Amphetamines get you over the hump but def not a cure

Disassociation is totally normal. It's your mind saying timeout💙

doesn’t mean she’s right lmao, we shouldn’t just blindly believe some guy’s opinions on something that’s still being researched

Hahahaha she’s literally dumb af ADHD can accurately be diagnosed through brain scans… good luck arguing with the image in your face showing the brain activity and the tons of research papers done by actual doctors (not psychologists)

@grok Healthy Options :

He is talking about executive dysfunction, which can be caused by ADHD or other disorders or by context. Exec dysfunction is often diagnosed as ADHD even when that's not the cause. And new research shows ADHD can confer superior creative problem-solving.

Yeah it’s bullshit

And? Deal with it. Nobody gives a fuck about your disorders

In my experience ADHD it's connected with the gut. Same as autism . Leaky gut...you change the diet, you take the supplements you need and you can actually get balance back,, brain starts to work better. Symptoms will go away.

The issue is the low threshold of stress

Well the stress response system increases its alertness through epigenetics from intergenerational trauma (stress). So it’s actually both.

that's amazing response

Thank you for this post. Needed to hear this today! 🙏🙏

No it’s necessary to have symptoms since childhood

some mambo jambo

The offered a hypothesis. Didn’t explain or prove anything.

sorry baby that’s not how it this shit works

Weird how I suddenly see posts like this about ADHD

I believe this is true.

I believe it. I definitely think mine stems from my childhood.
