    I've always been sick of people insisting that video games are dangerous, cause violence etc, but then I remembered that at the height of my world of warcraft adventures I often forgot to eat, sleep and bathe lmao. I guess people dont generally do that with other hobbies, severe adhd here. I used video games to cope and escape.

    Dr. Barkley, just a minor correction for the second paper. The monoamine reuptake inhibitors (MRI) are not monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI). For example, venlafaxine and duloxetine are SNRI and bupropion is an NDRI. MAOI is another class of drug, which include drug like selegiline. Usually when I see 'monoamine xxxx inhibitors' I would assume it is MAOI too, so it explains the confusion. I hope I don't come across as nitpicky. Thank you for your work as always!

    Thank you for your dedication to educating the community.
  • @piotr780
    what about problematic internet use ? It could be more common among adulths with ADHD then gaming addiction and is somehow similar
  • @user-cr4wj7yq9y
    I would love to see you do a video on late diagnosed women and the effects that it has on them.
  • @trewdat361
    Thank you for dad jokes and adhd information!
  • @kalibininsabunu
    I use Bupropiyon and Atomexetine on a daily basis they work just fine when used together with supplanted with Omega 3. I am not against stimulants I used them too - and still using- but on long term my body develops tolerance those trio prevents tolerance. 👍🏻 ☺️
  • It baffles 🤯me why anyone with ADHD wouldn’t try medication with these amazing results and your research ! It has been utterly life changing for me. I get their maybe medical issues where you can’t take them, but to just say you can’t to try herbal thing… it just, I can’t seem to get my head around it!?
  • @Millennial_Manc
    5:52 Interesting that agomelatine and modafinil don’t feature on such a long list.
  • How about Modafinil? . this drug is widely prescribed off label for people with ADHD but you haven't ever spoken about it
  • @thejb8232
    Dr. barkley Thanks for your insights . But can you also comment on quality of these research papers.
  • @amg8430
    This is gold🙌thank you for what you do
  • Russell can you do a handful of current studies on the efficacy of psilocybin for ADHD ❤
  • @capgains
    Peptides like Semax, Selank etc are getting some attention and interesting testimonies. Also Cerebrolysin looks promising for adhd based on reviews
  • My sons psychiatrist just told me atomoxetin/strattera is not being produced anymore!?!? I am in Germany, do you know something about this? Thank you so much for your work. ❤
