The next episode (Ep.5) is coming soon! "Was it something I said?" It wasn't too long ago that a friend would introduce me to their group of friends and the conversation is energetic, people are laughing, then suddenly I feel a sharp elbow jab me in the ribs, or I get some serious side-eye from said-friend after I dared break the "rules" of small-talk by 'getting to the point.' There's nothing wrong with being a direct person and hating polite small-talk. Why take a detour to someone's heart and brain when you can just take the express lane. Right? Right?? Sure, if you're getting your needs met and you're meeting someone else's need. But, what if you have no radar for when your foot is in your mouth? What if you don't pick up on social cues until you get that jab in the ribs, or scolding from "friends" about how "rude and too familiar" you get with strangers. How "off-putting" you are. Every quote you just read is a direct correction/insult/ from people ranging from family members to best friends. And, former best friends. .The TRUTH is, your directness is not your problem, it's other people's judgment and narrow perception of "normal" social behavior. "Normal " meaning, people who don't have ADHD or Asperger's or any other neurodiverse wiring that allows us to "boldly" be direct, "boldly" state our intention, "boldly" announce our entrance into the room.. What is "bold" to Miss Manners is just the way we interact. "Bold" becomes the polite way of saying "there's something wrong with you" or "that was rude" or any other slight that makes us doubt ourselves, and lose confidence. You see that? That's another brick added to the wall we build around ourselves so we don't feel so awkward around other people who can't wait to judge us for being...uniquely, awkwardly, us.

ADHD Medication - Stimulants vs. Nonstimulants

featured image

ADHD can be treated by a variety of medications, and the two most common drug classes used for treatment are stimulants and nonstimulants. The main difference between the two is that stimulants stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS), and nonstimulants do not. Once stimulated, the CNS releases dopamine and adrenaline, prompting multiple reactions in the body, such as increased focus and a faster heart rate.

This video describes the differences between the two drug classes, gives popular examples of each (ie adderall and vyvanse as stimulants and wellbutrin and strattera as a nonstimulants) and describes the differences between the drugs with regard to their chemicals and compounds. But don’t worry – I keep it fast-paced and upbeat, with a bit of humor sprinkled in.

I also answer a few popular questions, such as:

“Why do some medications work well for me, while others don’t?”
“Is there a way to find out if a certain drug will work better for me?”
“What’s the deal with citric and ascorbic acid (vitamin c)?”
“Should I eat before I take my medication?”
“How often should I take my medication?”

In current society, people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) tend to struggle if not suffer. Despite this, rather than a disorder, ADHD should be thought of as a particular neuro-cognitive profile; that is, a characteristic brain format that results in a different way of literally thinking. With so many people diagnosed with ADHD – and so many more undiagnosed — we must ask, where does ADHD come from and is it truly a problem in and of itself?

Salif shares a current hypothesis about ADHD’s root and an alternative perspective – including several benefits of the condition – regarding how we engage with it in our schools, homes and selves.

Eisenberg, D. T. A., Campbell, B., Gray, P. B., & Sorenson, M. D. (2008). Dopmaine receptor genetic polymorphisms and body composition in undernourished pastoralists: An exploration of nutrition indices among nomadic and recently settled Ariaal men of northern Kenya. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 8, 173-184.

Salif is currently a doctoral student in the Experimental and Applied Psychological Program at USU. On a day-to-day basis he manages Dr. Kerry Jordan’s Multisensory Cognition Lab. His research investigates cognitive and neurophysiological outcomes of exposure to, and immersion in, natural environments. Salif loves long walks in the mountains, hunting, fishing, camping, gardening, and planning his future homestead. Most of all, he loves having no idea whatsoever as to how to parent his two-year-old son, but trying anyway.

ADHD Medication - Stimulants vs. Nonstimulants

ADHD can be treated by a variety of medications, and the two most common drug classes used for treatment are stimulants and nonstimulants. There is a major difference between stimulants and nonstimulants. They stimulate the Central Nervous System, while nonstimulants don’t. The CNS releases dopamine (and adrenaline) when stimulated. This triggers multiple reactions, including increased focus and faster heart beat.

This video explains the differences between these two drug classes and gives examples (e.g. adderall and vivanse as stimulants, and wellbutrin or strattera to be used as nonstimulants), and discusses the differences in the chemical and compound compositions of the drugs. Don’t worry, I keep it upbeat and fast-paced with a little humor.

A few common questions I answer are:

“Why does some medication work for me while others do not?” “
Is it possible to determine if a drug works better for you? “
“What is the deal with vitamin c and citric acid (vitamin C)?” “
“Should my diet be changed before I take my medication?” “
“How often should my medication be taken?” “

(I apologize for the quality of the video. Donald Trump coughed on mine devices, and they're now infected. Although technical problems have plagued me for the past week, they did not stop me from thanking everyone for their help while I worked on Ep. 5)

This is a quick note to say thank you to all the black women and women of color who have discovered this channel and are sticking with us for the ride. When I began aggressively treating my ADHD last summer, I found what I could not find on YouTube and social media: women like me who are willing and able to share their experiences with ADHD. Because not enough people are seeking help, black women are almost invisible in the mental healthcare conversation. Why? It is impossible to treat something we do not acknowledge. It is my passion to bring ADHD out of the shadows of shame. God created us all this way. Your purpose, your calling, and your purpose are found in your unique gifts.
If you have any questions or comments, I am available to help! To reach 1 ,000 subscribers, the next milestone in ADHD is the new Black. This will allow me to have more live interaction and interaction with my fellow absent-minded queens. Please share this video or the channel. Click "Like" or "Subscribe" to show your support.
