  We can’t have a serious conversation regarding the spectrum of ADHD - Anxiety - Depression without getting honest about the physiological impact of watching screens. From the first TVs in the mid 20th century; to the Nintendo explosion, to present day smartphones. The human eye and it’s primary role of FOCUS in translating external environment into internal information and meaning needs to be deeply examined. What happens to our brainwaves when shift this focus from natural world to digital screens with a flicker rate in the billions per second ? What happens to your breathing ? Is your body stationary and locked in an unnatural (sitting) position ? The new smartphone technology has out paced our biology. Very few are ready to acknowledge and discuss these easily verified observations.

  I grew up in an abusive household, &nbsp;lots of stress, &nbsp;and family history of alcoholism and poverty that goes back generations. &nbsp;I used to daydream a lot as a child, &nbsp;as a coping mechanism, and I still do. &nbsp;I&apos;m 48 now and just got dx for ADHD and autistic tenancy. I&apos;ve got autoimmune disease, &nbsp;fibro, &nbsp;and osteoarthritis. I&apos;m also a veteran and DV survivor. &nbsp;I&apos;m working on breaking generational trauma with my child.

  That loud useless drama music at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itcD7f0H64A&amp;t=15">0:15</a> prevents me from hearing what he&apos;s saying.

  Someone with ADHD isn&apos;t &quot;broken&quot;, our society is.

  As someone with ADHD, who just completed a masters and my dissertation topic was research on parents with ADHD, with a daughter with ADHD and autism, who respects Dr Gabor Mate and who is a huge fan of the Diary of a CEO you really should have Dr Russell Barkley on to talk about ADHD. As much as I like Gabor, he is not a specialist in this field. So it would be ethical journalism to ensure you have someone who specialises on this topic to provide solid facts on ADHD.

  I had ADHD which manifested in lifelong workaholism and depression, since a very early age. Through listening to Dr Maté these past years, I now understand the connection of my depression, ADHD and workaholism with my own childhood traumas. Now when I am triggered, I am able to breathe through the familiar reactions to let them go and find real inner peace. <br>I was an elementary school teacher for decades, and saw many children with similar challenges. I always tried to create the learning atmosphere and safe environment, especially for boys with ADHD, that I didn’t have as a child. <br>Thanks for helping me find my real self, Dr Maté!

  A lot of gifted people have ADHD, they have a heightened sensitivity and they do get overwhelmed by their environment. It’s not necessarily a bad or traumatic environment. I don’t believe that every child who has ADHD has been traumatised.

  It’s really true. I feel so much better and do so much better since I am gone out of my stressed parents home.
