ADHD – Complete Guide

Introduction What is this ADHD? . First lets look at the formal definition of ADHD. Below are couple of definitions from different websites. From add.org -> “ADHD is a highly genetic, brain-based syndrome that has to do with the regulation of a particular set of brain functions and related behaviors.” From Dr Hallowell (Top Doctor for ADHD)  -> “ADHD is a neurological condition that is usually genetically transmitted.

ADHD # 19 – Conclusion

Instead of me giving the conclusion, you should give conclusion, if you have been reading this series. What is your conclusion? Is ADHD a disorder or  myth or creative mind or genius geek or mental/crack/rebel mind? What is your view? What did you understood?. If you have ADHD then you will feel all of the above at one point in life and may be even once a day. If not then you may have only one opinion – mostly as “disorder” or “very different” person.

ADHD # 17 – Creative Minds but with constant Under Achievement Feeling

I some times think nature is very brutal in design some aspects of life. This is the feeling most ADHD personalities will feel. Why?. One side they are gifted with lots of talent, creativity and other side lack of sustained focus and concentration. End result is often very frustrating. Because they could not produce the end product at the level of quality and on time, etc. This is not a one time affair and this is a constant theme through out the life unless you have a strategy to break

ADHD # 16 – Riding Relationships with ADHD

One of the origin theory about ADHD says lack of love results in ADHD. Whether this is true or not, most ADHD people are sensitive in nature and good hearted. But the problem comes with Dopamine. Here is what happens when ADHD person starts a new relationship. At first relationship looks and feels very exciting because of new dopamine. Once the initial dopamine tapers off then you start getting bored. Then keep moving to some other relationship. This loop continues. Obviously, this may not

ADHD # 15 – How low Dopamine (ADHD) helping Breakthrough Innovations

As I mentioned in the previous blog = > Dopamine =GOD, low Dopamine is the root of ADHD and Dopamine filling will create life and happiness for people with ADHD personalities. And in contrast, people with enough Dopamine and Serotonin often live in a somewhat happy (alternate names – Slow, self contended, etc !!) space. These are the people who are generally happy not necessarily driven. You may not see much breakthrough innovations from these kind of people. Actually they are

ADHD # 14 – What Careers will suit these personalities?

Most ADHD people struggle with their careers. Not because they are not talented. In fact they are so talented that they can’t fit into regular 9 to 5 setups. Especially they will be breathless if they have to work under rigid corporate structures. What drives these personalities is FREEDOM !!. Period. How Freedom is linked to ADHD?. I think there is a big link between these two. ADHD type people are typically very creative type (not art type as such). They are outside box thinkers,

If you are following this series from the beginning then it should be fine. Otherwise, you might be thinking one side we are saying this has lot of challenges and other side I am saying this is a gift, genius, etc. Unfortunately, both are true !!. As I said earlier, ADHD is a “Rose with the Thorns”. So how do we eliminate thorns (challenges)  and get to the rose (gifts)? . The main magic pill for this is “Dopamine Management“.

I am making one more attempt to prove that ADHD is not a disease or disorder. In the last blog, I have given a small list of creative genius who is having ADHD personality (it is almost a must).  May be you got convinced or may be not. So giving another shot. There is one theory called “Hunter Gatherer” theory. This theory says . – “Humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers for thousands of years, but as people started farming and living settled lives other personality

ADHD # 9 – “Everybody is having ADHD now a days” – Not correct

When a non ADHD person reads about ADHD and about the symptoms like distractibility, impulsiveness, etc they usually will say ” now a days everyone is having distractions,etc”. Even after reading this blog series some people told me that they also have the distraction issues so they may have ADHD ;). Yes, most people now a days have distractibility and addiction (esp social media) issues but that does not mean that people have ADHD. As i said many times ADHD is not a simple

ADHD # 8 – It is not just about attention issues!!

Most people think that ADHD is simply lack focus/distraction issue. Actually this is not a big issue. In fact, most ADHD people would have hyper focus when they are interested in the task. They get distracted only when the task is boring (no challenge or no novelty). I personally think ADHD label is very wrong and misfit. Need a better suited label. Lets say if the problem is only with attention then any attention enhancing medicine and even some natural remedies could fix the issue. But

ADHD # 7 – Solutions

Most often people are not aware that they have ADHD. Even if they know that they have different traits they would not know it as ADHD.  Often people come to know about it later in life (esp adults). What to do after diagnosis?. There are multiple approaches/solutions to manage ADHD. Below are some of key solutions often used. Medication : This is most debated – to use or not use. Side effects vs benefits, etc. Of course, one has to go with qualified doctor advise. But my personal view

I am not a Doctor so obviously I do not know all possible available diagnosis methods, etc. But what I know very well is that there is NO real foolproof method for diagnosing ADHD. Even if you go to the most experienced ADHD doctor (very less in India) what they do is basic symptom based questionnaire and inquiring on family

ADHD # 5 – Dopamine = GOD

The low production of Dopamine mainly causes ADHD. The negatives of ADHD are directly related to low Dopamine. And strengths would show up when Dopamine is induced. Basically the delta factor is Dopamine between people with ADHD and without ADHD. The only GOD for people with ADHD is Dopamine. Now the question is how to get the Dopamine? All the ADHD solutions are directly related to Dopamine production. Most recommended treatment you get when you go to doctor is obviously some medications

ADHD # 4 – What causes this?

We quickly looked at symptoms of ADHD in the previous blog. Now let us understand what causes really this ADHD? There are no exact scientific reasons why this occurs. But the main reason you hear is – Imbalance in the brain’s neurotransmitter called “Dopamine”.  For someone with ADHD the only GOD they know about is this Dopamine. I will cover more on this later. In very simple terms, people with ADHD brains will have less production of Dopamine. What is the role of

ADHD # 2 – Why I am writing about this?

People often think about ADHD as a some simple problem for Children. ADHD grows from childhood to adulthood. I see good number of adults are struggling with ADHD. But they do not know that they have ADHD. Especially this is a big problem in India. We often mix many things and come up with some generic names for the actual underlying problem. Until people saw the movie “Taare Zameen Par” we had no idea about “Dyslexia”.  I am very sure very soon there will be a movie

Daily (Regular) Vs Adhoc

So far, I have written 118 blogs. I had started this as “Daily Blog” and could do reasonably well until first 100 blogs. Then few things came up and my rhythm broken a bit. Actually, I could technically bring the rhythm back. But I did not. Why? I think my mind took “advantage” of this situation and I got relaxed. And my mind started giving me all kinds of excuses why it is OK not to write regularly.  And I got convinced with those excuses. What is the result? Below

So what is this Innovation really and why this is such big buzz word now?. As usual the disclaimer is – I am not THE expert in this area.

“Innovation” sounds like a sexy word at the beginning and in fact it would be that way when things start off. But soon, the people who are driving and delivering would be under pressure. Why? Two main reasons. At the beginning you would think your are the only one who is having this “unique” idea. Shortly, you will realize there are other bunch of guys coming up with similar idea. So the initial sexiness goes off. Second reason is at execution phase. You need to

Inside Innovation # 14 – Lean Startup in Large Companies

Lean Startup name should be changed to something else sooner or later as this name seem to be more apt for “Startups”. In the reality I think LS need is more for big companies than Startups. Why? In startups sooner it will become very evident when the idea/product is not going to work esp given they have less resources, time and every thing is less or constrained. But when it comes to large companies there is a luxury not to be so Lean. So the damage is not very visible for not
