### ADHD 이해하기: ADHD가 아닐 수도 있는 징후
* 👋 안녕하세요, 저는 릭그린의 설립자 릭 그린입니다. 저는 **중년에 ADHD 진단**을 받았고, 이로 인해 평생 동안 직면했던 많은 어려움을 설명하는 데 도움이 되었습니다.
* 📉 연구에 따르면 ADHD 환자는 우울증과 불안을 비롯한 다양한 문제의 발생률이 높아 **일반 또래보다 최대 10년 정도 수명이 짧을 수 있다**고 합니다.
* 🧠 예를 들어, **꾸준히 자신의 잠재력을 발휘**하고 옆길로 빠지지 않고 과제를 완수하고 있다고 느끼는 경우 등 **ADHD가 아닐 수 있는 10가지 징후**가 있습니다.
* 📅 미루지 않고 **하루 만에 빨래, 건조, 개기, 정리**할 수 있다면 ADHD가 생활의 일부가 아닐 수 있다는 또 다른 지표가 될 수 있습니다.
* 📋 또한 집중력을 잃거나 주의가 산만해지지 않고 지시 사항을 읽고 따른다면 **ADHD가 아닐 가능성이 높습니다.**
* 🔍 ADHD는 유전성이 강하므로 가족 중에 ADHD 증상을 보이는 사람이 없다면 **본인도 ADHD가 아닐 수 있습니다.**
* 💪 성공에도 불구하고 진단을 받지 않은 많은 성인 ADHD 환자들은 **자신의 잠재력을 최대한 발휘하기 어렵다고 느끼기 때문에 스스로 성취도가 낮다고 생각**합니다.
* 🎤 궁극적으로 ADHD는 복잡하고 다양하게 나타날 수 있지만, **자신의 강점에 맞는 직업**을 찾으면 성공과 성취감을 얻을 수 있습니다.

릭 그린은 ADHD를 이해하는 것이 삶을 변화시키고 잠재력을 드러낼 수 있음을 보여줍니다.

hi like most adults, I was pretty sure that I did not have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Honestly, I was confident because I knew, as everyone else knows, ADHD looks like [Music]. This, then when I found out what ADHD actually is, suddenly my life made complete sense. Okay, it made more sense. It explained the good, the bad, and the bug me, the bug me like the tags on the shirts that bug me. And when you're in a noisy room at a party, or you're in a restaurant, and there's like six TVs going, everyone's got a different channel on, and I'm trying to have a conversation, and there's so much if you worry that you might have undiagnosed ADHD, and you're really hoping you don't. Well, let me calm your fears because here for your edification are 10 signs that you do not have ADHD. None of them are decisive, you don't have to have them all, but they do add up. Number one, you feel like you are living up to your

potential. So many adults with undiagnosed ADHD feel I'm underachieving regardless of how much they've achieved. I mean, despite co-writing, co-starring, and producing hundreds of episodes of TV and radio—not on my own, of course—I always felt like I'm not achieving what I sense that I could. Now, one reason people with ADHD often feel this way is that it's often true. It's kind of hard to achieve your best when you have the equivalent of four conversations blaring in your head 24/7 while someone who's really important to you is sharing something very personal with you, and you really want to get what they're saying, but there's all these distractions, and you're trying not to, and what is that over there, and oh, Swiss cheese. Is it really Swiss cheese? Wish I'd never been to Switzerland. No, wait, I have been. Have I been to? I have been to Switzerland. Number two, you finished tasks and projects on time. Wow, what's that like? Number three, your finished projects are actually completely finished. They

aren't full of little mistakes or missing details, or they address the wrong problem because you left at the last moment, you didn't read the instructions. And number four, you read the instructions through, and then you followed them in order, and you did not think at some point, This is boring, I have a better idea, I know I could do this faster. Number five, you read the instructions and started the project and did not get sidetracked, ending up at an outdoor shop or the fabric store, buying 20 yards of chint for something that you forgotten you needed it for. And then, 5 days later, 2 days after that project was due, you stumble across all of the unfinished projects. It's under a pile of stuff, and now you can't find the instructions, and you can't remember what they said, and so you wing it, and it kind of turns out okay, no big deal. If that's not you, good. Number six, or is it seven? Did I say six, five, four, number whatever? You rarely lose track of where you are or what

you're doing. I think it was number six, number seven. Someone who knows you well suggests that you seem really scattered lately. I wish ADHD is driven by genes, so unless you've had a head injury or something else, it's present there in childhood. Whereas you know I've been distracted and restless and tuned out all the time ever since I found out I'm adopted and my real parents are Bill and Melinda Gates. In that case, being kind of foggy and zoned out is probably an inappropriate reaction. Or maybe you're overwhelmed by a new job, a divorce, a wedding, losing a pet, losing a loved one, basically any life crisis. Or it could even be an ongoing crisis like a pandemic. So if you're struggling with ADHD symptoms lately, if you're not your usual self, that's probably not ADHD. Although to be fair, it might be that you've been coping okay, treading water, keeping your head above water, but things have changed. Stuff's starting to pile up. You took on too much and now

you're overwhelmed, but generally, we don't fall into and then bounce back from ADHD. It has been our baseline for as long as we can remember, or okay, as long as someone who knows us back then can remember, because our memories often not that great. Childhood, I can't even. I don't know the eighth sign that it's not attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. You wash and then dry and then fold and iron and immediately put away your clean laundry calmly in one day. There aren't garments hanging everywhere or crumpled and piled up on chairs waiting to be folded or still in the laundry basket or still in the dryer or neatly folded but never put away. Basically, if you finish what you start, whether it's going to replace a light bulb or earning your college degree, then probably not ADHD because you're doing things step by step in the right order, and you like that. We wish we could do that. We'd like that. Now, don't get me wrong, I do do things in the right order, but on the way, I oh right uh.

Welcome. I'm Rick Green. I'm the founder of Rick has ADHD. I should have introduced at the did I intro Let Me Explain. I was a moderately successful comedian, and then I was diagnosed in midlife. Well, midlife if I lived to be 94, 'cause I was 47. But I was diagnosed, and actually 94 would be a bit of a stretch because according to a number of studies, we actually live shorter lives, up to 10 years shorter than our neurotypical friends and family. I know you're long what, well, higher rates of depression, anxiety, car accidents, divorces, being fired multiple times, addiction, binge eating, self-medicating, risky activities. It adds up, of course, once you've got a proper diagnosis. That changes sign number nine that you don't have ADHD when the shoot hits the fan and it's a crisis. You are overwhelmed, you're in crisis with ADHD. You may not be a veteran paramedic who has ADHD told me that his colleagues who have ADHD as

well are brilliant at their job. And whereas most folks would be ah, he was calm, he's clear, he's focused, he can get things done as it's happening. And I told them, that's what I'm like when I'm on stage in front of a thousand people, fear of public speaking, no excitement at public speaking. Whereas staying focused on a one-in-one conversation with someone is actually more stressful because there's what's that over there? You see, ADHD is complex, it's kind of individual. Some of us only struggle with inattention, focus, distractions, memory, but others, myself included, also have the hyperactivity, the restlessness, the impulsivity. And we can become adrenaline junkies. We thrive in things like the military, police, fire and rescue, emergency rooms, stock trading, day trading, sales, hey, how are you? Pro sports, showbiz, and entrepreneurs. You see, when we find a career that works with our particular version of ADHD, a niche where we can soar, well then we soar. And number 10, the final sign that you do not have

ADHD. None of your parents, grandparents, siblings, or children have ADHD. It's highly heritable. It runs in families. It's almost as heritable as height. Although a head injury, lead poisoning, and other factors can produce the same symptoms for most of us, it's how we arrived in the world. In fact, I was diagnosed after one of my kids was, and then I thought about my dad, and oh yeah, all right, this was him watching TV. He'd be pacing, rattling his keys. But hey, great in a crisis. ADHD is in my family tree. That's why when we made our documentary ADD and Loving about fellow comedian Patrick McKenna getting diagnosed, we went into it pretty sure he had it because he looked into his family tree, the roots that he came from, and the fruit of his loins. That was a nice little analogy, wasn't it? Okay, sorry. Number 10. Wait, maybe I was that number 10, or I should have written it down. Probably 10. Usually, I do like 13, but that's fine. If hearing these 10 signs suggests that you don't have ADHD.

Congratulations! You can get on with your well-organized day. You'll never know what it's like to have four conversations going on in your head 24/7. Next time you're at a really noisy party, just imagine that chaos going on all the time. And really, to get the full effect, you might be trying to solve a Rubik's Cube while standing on one foot as well, just to get the full effect. If, however, you're feeling confronted, finish what I start, remember where I put things, not get distracted, yikes. In that case, check out Rick has ADHD. I'll put links in the description. That's okay, that's a lie. Actually, I won't put them in because I'll forget to do it or I'll make mistakes, and David will do it. David's great. And you know who else is great? Our patrons. Their support through patreon.com funded this video and all the videos past, present, and hopefully future. Their support is what keeps us independent, and it ensures that Rick has ADHD is here for everyone.

247 did I say my name? I forget. I'm I forget whether I said it. I I know what my name is. It's rck rich.
