Physician Gabor May gives his analysis on ADHD and anxiety, ADHD!
00:00:04.160
I was just watching this very disturbing commercial.
00:00:07.420
WL, W-I of ADHD, L, it's a myth and it's just made to suppress creativity.
00:00:12.920
Yesterday with children, and it was talking about ADHD,
00:00:17.300
and it showed a kid that was not paying attention in class,
00:00:21.240
and it showed these kids like playing around and doing things they weren't supposed to be doing,
00:00:26.900
yes and then they introduce this medication and then you have the child raising their hand and
00:00:32.900
then you have everyone clapping disgusting chat type of one if you were put on adhd meds as a kid
00:00:38.440
i took ritalin i took adderall i took vivence i was prescribed when i was 12 13 something like
00:00:44.940
that in class like heart beating out of my chest oh i don't want lunch i'm okay
00:00:53.860
And you have the child with a big smile on their face
00:01:05.120
They brainwashed mommy to think that little Timmy needs to take these pills
00:01:21.100
And that was after I was diagnosed with it myself
00:01:31.320
I mean, you must have still got a little bit of spunk to you, huh?
00:01:40.500
Like if someone has ADHD, it's not like you have herpes
00:01:43.400
No, it's not real because they say that it's a disability
00:01:50.100
Well, that's the whole point, is that the medical profession and a lot of the so-called experts think about it as a disease, another one of these inherited diseases.
00:02:00.960
In fact, they say it's the most heritable mental illness there is.
00:02:05.020
And I say it's neither an illness nor is it heritable.
00:02:09.320
So the Hallmark are difficulty paying attention when you're not motivated.
00:02:14.140
So kind of tuning out, like that kid in the commercial.
00:02:17.120
yeah but stuff that you're really interested in Chad
00:02:20.960
you know that you can focus on shit that you really care about
00:02:31.180
and listen to a bunch of good government bullshit
00:02:46.560
emotion arises i'm not emotional and sometimes the hyperactivity difficulty sitting still and
00:02:52.160
then to fidget and all that and that described me bro i can sit still whenever the i want what do
00:02:56.240
you mean ow ow bro broke the chair me to a t um and um but as soon as i learned about the diagnosis
00:03:09.200
i knew something this is not a disease and it's not heritable despite the fact that
00:03:27.080
If I were to stress you right now, create stress.
00:03:31.640
Emotional difficulty or tension for you right now.
00:03:34.700
What would be your options of dealing with that, of dealing with me?
00:03:46.560
then you get fucking restless bro if i have to sit there and do okay yes teacher i pledge
00:03:52.360
allegiance to the flag of a bunch of fucking bullshit and i'll do my homework and never
00:03:57.420
complain yes i'm a bot yes i'll go to lunch time teacher teacher can i use the bathroom
00:04:04.020
can i use the bathroom no you're not a girl the girls can only go to the bathroom whenever they
00:04:08.780
want you're a boy so hold it okay teacher i will not go to the bathroom because i don't actually
00:04:13.720
have to go anymore i'm a boy i am wrong i am bad i'll do my homework fuck yeah then you're stuck
00:04:21.080
and now what does the brain do when you're stuck like that gets distracted it gets tunes out yeah
00:04:26.020
tunes out you want to do other things think about other things in other words it's a coping mechanism
00:04:30.740
yeah it's normal i mean the the idea that your child who is uh you know an eight nine year old
00:04:38.120
ball of energy filled with you know hormones and life and thoughts and things they enjoy and
00:04:45.440
then you make them sit down all day in this unnatural state in a classroom with fluorescent
00:04:51.860
lights and stare at a teacher that's unmotivated and underpaid and is teaching something in a very
00:04:57.920
boring and non-entertaining way yeah and then if this kid bro i can't even imagine what it was like
00:05:03.620
i luckily got out of school before the zoom era of like i graduated or no i dropped out right
00:05:08.500
before the zoom era i don't know how that was possible for anybody really trying to motivate
00:05:14.160
yourself in a pandy where the world like people are running outside like stealing toilet paper
00:05:19.960
and wiping their groceries from uber eats down with clorox wipes and you got to sit there and
00:05:24.560
look at an ipad or a screen class it's time to go to zoom class okay so now we're gonna watch
00:05:31.060
youtube video chad wl on zoom class is why i know what everyone's gonna type but oh my god i would
00:05:38.120
have how how how it's like kid doesn't lock in like a zombie we need to medicate them yeah well
00:05:47.800
the other part of it is that if you look at my infancy and it sounds like yours
00:05:53.340
we spent our first year or two under very difficult circumstances a lot of stress
00:05:59.460
infants can't help but absorb the stress of their parents right they can't help it what does an
00:06:04.820
infant do could i have escaped or fought back could you have all we could do is tune out yes
00:06:09.600
but when is this tuning out happening when our brain is being developed right in our brain this
00:06:14.480
is the part that nobody taught me in medical school but it turns out that brain science now
00:06:18.040
teaches us that the human brain develops under the impact of the environment so the the most
00:06:48.420
And that tuning out thing is programmed into the brain
00:06:55.480
You've got a coping mechanism that's no longer working for you.
00:07:01.300
I just turned 24, and I'm still, like, sometimes I was in the elevator with Jordan on the way to the stream.
00:07:05.660
I'm like, man, I still got that, like, teenager spastic fucking thing about me.
00:07:17.980
It's not a mental problem, bro, just because everyone else is boring and slow.
00:07:21.520
But it had a function when it first came along.
00:07:23.780
So this whole idea, and by the way, if a family comes to me with their ADHD child, I'll say to them, what you've got here is a very sensitive child.
00:07:36.460
That sensitive child is picking up on all the vibes, energies, and stresses in your family.
00:07:41.400
Want to help this child? Deal with the whole family.
00:07:52.860
Look at, do you understand the child's behavior or the emotions that the child is having?
00:07:57.780
Type a one if you think this is just an American thing.
00:08:00.060
Or you're just trying to control the child's behaviors.
00:08:03.400
And very often parents will tell me after they've read that book on ADHD is they've totally changed their relationship to their child.
00:08:10.860
But you go to most doctors, you've got this disease, here's the pill.
00:08:15.360
And by the way, I took those medications and they helped me for a while.
00:08:21.320
i'm not anti-medic which ones did you take i took ritalin um which uh ritalin is just meth
00:08:27.340
and a pill like yes it helped you out because meth makes you fucking wired so if you're wired
00:08:31.780
you're going to be more efficient but you're also not going to eat and sleep it's really fucking
00:08:35.260
no i'm great i'm feeling great now i just want to talk about everything what do you want to do
00:08:38.840
what do you want to go you want to go somewhere do you want to pick a pinball in your face
00:08:40.720
no i don't want to drink i'm good i'll stop another red bull do you want to beat off yeah
00:08:43.860
i'm gonna beat off no let's go clean the entire apartment ha ha ha no that's really bad you want
00:08:47.320
to fuck i hate you what no i'm not a meth i'm on drugs if this is how i just feel
00:08:58.680
So, you know, one of the hallmarks of ADHD is poor impulse control, right?
00:09:03.160
So I found out about ADHD, and even before I was diagnosed, I took Ritalin.
00:09:26.480
Ritalin is called, you know what the real name of Ritalin is?
00:09:43.880
Because a fucking pharmacist at Walgreens and a lab coat
00:09:48.400
But if you buy meth from some fucking shady guy outside of 7-Eleven, you ain't taking that shit.
00:09:53.040
Why do we trust Big Pharma more than, yeah, no, save shit?
00:10:01.020
But not only that, also because I had poor impulse control.
00:10:06.060
I mean, if you came to me for any problem, my first impulse would never be to write your prescription.
00:10:10.500
Unless it was obvious that you needed it for an infection or something.
00:10:13.380
I'd sit down with you and talk to you about what's going on here.
00:10:18.400
poor impulse regulation so i went to a colleague of mine medical colleague i said hey bev i think
00:10:25.720
i've got hd can you some can you give me some ritalin so she writes me a prescription
00:10:29.080
i think i got a made-up disorder can i have some drugs took it in a higher than recommended
00:10:34.000
initial dose i want to get high so i'm going to take bro you just wanted to get high you just got
00:10:39.000
some professional drugs you just got legal drugs bro you used your physician fucking past physician
00:10:44.140
guy you know what you were doing and uh because i mean if a little bit is good then more must be
00:10:49.080
even better and again it's not how i practice medicine right but i came to myself that's a
00:10:53.680
totally different ballgame this dude was trying to have a wow weekend so i felt immediately present
00:10:57.920
and calm and grounded and really yeah oh yeah i feel great no i feel focused i feel better than
00:11:03.060
i ever have yeah what do you want to talk about i just want to sit down and talk we don't even
00:11:05.860
talk anymore how are you feeling oh it's great cool cool what do you want to do you want to go
00:11:09.340
outside let's go and run i'm gonna go right now now i feel great i want to go to drive i hate this
00:11:18.740
If you've taken Adelaide before, you know what I'm talking about.
00:11:24.800
Then I go home and my wife says, you look stoned.
00:11:31.400
Well, because I got this glassy-eyed expression.
00:11:33.980
And within a couple of days, the Ritalin made me very depressed.
00:11:42.960
I was formally diagnosed, and they gave me dexedrine, and I took that for a while.
00:11:54.780
I became a much more efficient workaholic, and I could do even work.
00:11:58.460
It didn't change any of my emotional issues, but it made me more focused.
00:12:04.200
It makes you feel like you're being really productive because you're like, yeah, whoa, I'm going to take on the whole fucking world.
00:12:14.120
you just feel like you're doing a lot of stuff.
00:12:23.420
But it's mostly the feeling of being productive.
00:12:36.200
so this reliance on medications that we have is is a real poverty of the spirit a real poverty
00:12:44.600
of imagination a poverty of medical education the average doctor never learns this stuff the
00:12:50.120
average physician never gets a single lecture on brain development how the brain develops
00:12:54.160
in interaction with their environment so when you're seeing and let alone do they hear about
00:12:58.180
trauma they don't hardly at all right so when they see an adult with adhd or depression or addiction
00:13:04.960
or bipolar conditions or, for that matter, autoimmune illness or anything else,
00:13:17.020
And they think that the diagnosis explains everything,
00:13:23.820
Let's say Gabor or Joe goes to a doctor and they're diagnosed with ADHD.
00:13:36.480
Well, tuning out, poor impulse regulation, maybe hyperactivity.
00:13:40.940
Why does Gabor have poor impulse control, hyperactivity, and tuning out?
00:13:49.480
Because he's got poor impulse control and tunes out, and he's hyperactive.
00:13:54.060
Why is he hyperactive, tunes out, have poor impulse control?
00:13:59.160
you know it doesn't it's circular it doesn't explain it doesn't explain anything diagnosis
00:14:04.400
describe things and that there that can be helpful that way well you're giving me adhd
00:14:09.660
with how slow you talk you make everybody tune out of the stream boring ass fucking
00:14:13.520
but they don't explain yeah one of the things that people get so they get
00:14:19.860
they get treated for and they get diagnosed with is anxiety yeah and that one
00:14:28.020
anxiety yeah it drives me nuts because people pretend that anxiety is a disease yeah it's not
00:14:33.160
and i'm like my god the world should make you anxious if you're a sensitive introspective
00:14:37.960
person if you're just looking at the world itself and you you don't put it in perspective like the
00:14:42.880
world's it's filled with anxiety the anxiety is it's future problem solving you're you're thinking
00:14:48.960
about all the things that can go wrong you're thinking about your life in a you know potentially
00:14:51.660
devastating way and that's not a disease that's just the way you look at the world and people
00:14:55.740
getting diagnosed with it? Well, I won't quite agree with you on that one. In what way? I've
00:15:01.320
felt anxious at times. Sure. The world every day is the same. The world is the same, but the way
00:15:05.560
you look at it is not the same, right? That's the whole point. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So the
00:15:07.920
world is giving you anxiety. No, the world is not giving me anxiety. Right. You're giving yourself
00:15:11.460
anxiety by looking at the world, right? By how I look at the world. Yes. Because I can look at the
00:15:14.700
same world one day and feel grounded and connected and I may have all kinds of concerns about what's
00:15:19.040
happening in the world, but my nervous system won't be on edge. Yes. I won't be anxious. That's
00:15:22.620
my point is that it's not a disease oh my god can you guys stop obsessing over this shit we're all
00:15:26.700
fine it isn't the disease right so remember i talked about those brain circuits of lust and
00:15:30.160
care and rage and uh and and and seeking and so on one of the main circuits that we have
00:15:34.780
is described this is one of joe rogan's favorite topics bro he can go on and on about adderall
00:15:38.820
and adhd every single podcast bro it's just okay what's what's the debate bro prominent it's not
00:15:44.600
real it's not real yeah thanks up is for panic and grief panic and grief are the normal responses
00:16:19.520
should feel panic when the adult is unavailable in a rational world in a sane world that child
00:16:28.700
would be responded to but when children as in our society are not responded to in their distress
00:16:34.820
the panic becomes built into their nervous system and now you have a lot of anxious people
00:16:39.820
and that's why more more kids are being valued you're right it's not a disease it's a response
00:16:45.000
to the environment and the thought process of like leaving a child alone when the child's crying
00:16:51.740
is that to toughen the kid up is the thought process that you don't want to encourage this
00:16:58.300
sort of behavior because then they'll do it all the time and then you'll develop an indulgent
00:17:03.980
child like what is the thought process the thought process is that the child's behavior is the problem
00:17:10.180
and so we have to fix the behavior by controlling it now actually the opposite is true because
00:17:18.960
if you pick up the child when a child i don't care anymore okay that's it joe and cool alex
00:17:25.560
jones tells all he was on steven crowded today his lawsuit the great reset and cover-ups chat i
00:17:31.620
was just reading the great reset today really good book so far i don't want to give a full
00:17:35.320
synopsis of it because i'm only like 20 30 pages and really good so far and it tells it's talking
00:17:41.540
about the future of the world and how they're slowly trying to use flowery language and brainwash
00:17:46.040
us to think that this is a good thing but pretty soon we're literally going to be in the matrix
00:17:49.380
we are literally going to be plugged up they say neural link is going to attach it to your brain
00:17:53.200
they want a new world that they fully control they want to give us they want to take all the
00:17:58.240
power they don't want us to own anything they want to have everything and we are just slaves
00:18:02.340
while they go do whatever the fuck they want to do,
