Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or ADHD, can be more severe with age. Others may become subtler. These guidelines can help you identify if you or someone you love has ADHD.

Step 1: Recall your childhood history
Examine your childhood for signs of ADHD and bad grades. ADHD symptoms are common in adults, but factors like higher intelligence or stronger structure at school or home might have mask symptoms.

Step 2: Think about other problems
You should also consider whether anxiety, major depression, and substance abuse may be a problem. Research shows that ADHD affects 4/5 adults.

Step 3: Recognize the
behaviorsRecognize the symptoms and behaviors that are common to ADHD adults: Chronic lateness, forgetfulness, low self-esteem and impulsiveness, poor organizational skills, chronic boredom and difficulty concentrating while reading, mood swings and troubled relationships.

Tip
ADHD adults often have multiple divorces, poor employment records, and repeat driving violations.

Step 4: Learn the
criteriaYou must know the signs and symptoms of ADHD in adults.

Tip
ADHD adults are more likely than children to experience inattention and hyperactivity.

Step 5: Get help
You should consult a mental healthcare professional if you or someone you know is suffering from these symptoms. Adult ADHD can often be managed with medication or therapy.

Did You Know?
Brain scans of ADHD adults revealed a problem in their brain’s ability to process dopamine. This chemical is important for motivation, reward and learning.

In this episode, I discuss what drives hunger and satiety, and the role our brain, stomach, fat and hormones play in regulating hunger and turning off the desire to eat more. I also discuss why protein is more easily assimilated early in the morning than later in the afternoon, and why intermittent fasters might want to shift their feeding windows to earlier in the days.

Next, I discuss disorders of eating. Bulimia Nervosa is where people eat a lot and Anorexia Nervosa is where they starve. I also discuss common myths surrounding Anorexia, such as how media images can increase the rate of anorexia, and the myth about the "perfectionist anorexic". I also discuss the symptoms and how the brain and chemical system are affected by this condition. I discuss how anorexics can become hyperaware about the fat content of food and develop reflexive patterns of fat-hyperawareness. Next, I will discuss the most effective treatment options. These can be family-based or targeted at the habitual nature low-fat/calorie foods. I discuss the latest clinical trials of MDMA, Psilocybin, and Ibogaine for Anorexia. I also discuss their potential and downsides.

I discuss the most recent research on Bulimia, brain stimulation, drug therapies and thyroid disruption in Bulimia. It is also why these treatments are similar to ADHD's. The final part of my discussion is about "cheat days", body dysmorphia, and other new eating disorders. Science and science-based tools are also discussed.
