If you’ve ever wondered whether you might have ADHD, Jessica McCabe’s popular YouTube channel How to ADHD is a great place to start. In one of her most helpful videos, Jessica offers a compassionate and informative overview of what ADHD is and how it impacts everyday life.
She breaks down the three types of ADHD and explains how symptoms must appear before age 12 for a formal diagnosis. But more importantly, she reassures viewers that they’re not alone—and it’s not their fault.
Here are five key takeaways from her video:
It’s not your fault. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a character flaw.
It’s not all bad. ADHD can come with strengths, like creativity, energy, and big-picture thinking.
Medication isn’t the only option. There are many tools and strategies that can help.
If you think you might have ADHD, get evaluated. A professional diagnosis can be life-changing.
She offers a questionnaire to help you decide if you should seek an evaluation.
