If you notice that you often ask ‘are you angry with me?’, Can it be a sign that you have attention deficit disorder hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a woman who recently made the diagnosis.
ADHD is a neurological development that influences concentration, impulse control and activity levels.
According to Olivia Brooke, 29, from the Appalachia Mountains, in the US, asking whether everything is in order or whether people are irritated to you, may be a sign of rejection sensitivity disorder (RSD), which is linked to the condition.
In one video Posted on her tap -page @oliviarokeee, which has been viewed more than 1.7 million times, described the mother, who was diagnosed with ADHD last year, as ‘the feeling that everyone hates me’.
RSD is not a recognized medical condition, nor is it an official symptom of ADHD.
However, many people who have ADHD report that they have RSD, and it recognized it as a comorbidity of ADHD by a number of local NHS trusts.
One trust describes it as an extreme emotional response to real or observed criticism or rejection.
Other symptoms Mrs Brooke experienced before they were diagnosed, were forgetfulness, difficulty sleeping, bad time management and mood swings.
In a recent Tiktok video she claimed that the question can be a sign, you have the condition ADHD
Olivia Brooke was diagnosed after 28 years old after her symptoms were deposited as fear
In a comment on the message, the Mrs. Brooke said: ‘I was told that it was just fear! I was also diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (gad) and panic disorder when I was 16. ‘
But when the symptoms juggled with the endless tasks of motherhood harder, she said with a doctor.
Only two months ago she started with the stimulating ADHD medication Vyvanse and has already seen improvements.
In another videoShe made her kitchen look messy and full of items that were left out of ‘half done’ tasks, before it suddenly became neat and tidy after she started taking the medicine.
Now, through her tap videos, Mrs. Brooke has encouraged those who experience the symptoms to talk to their doctor.
In a comment she said, “Medicine can help and can therefore talk to someone to help understand how your brain works and things you can do to help.”
After placing the original video, she received more than a thousand reactions from users of social media that related to the symptoms.
A user said: ‘I have ADHD and all this is painfully recognizable. I am of course a nice chill, happy-go-lucky person, but man my brain is in common for me for a few days. ‘
Another noticed: ‘My rejection -sensitive dysphoria is bad. I constantly have the feeling that everyone hates me and doesn’t want to be my friend. ‘
It is amid a strong increase in the number of adults looking for ADHD diagnostic reviews later in life.
In recent years, the diagnoses have risen, with more than 2.6 million people in the UK that it is estimated that they have the condition.
Some have suggested that this is because too many incorrect people think they have the condition, while others put it down to a better consciousness of how it influences women.
A judgement Research published from 1979 to 2021 on women with ADHD showed that girls and women tend to show inattention and internalized problems,
In the meantime, on the other hand, men show more hyperactivity, impulsivity and externalized problems.
The study also showed that clinics can overlook symptoms and disorders in women, because they seem less open, despite the fact that they are still being affected.
Regarding that until recently, until recently almost all research into ADHD has focused on boys and men.
However, a recent report from MailOnline showed that thousands of women with ADHD diagnosis can in fact have an iron deficiency.
Josie Health-Smith, 44, suffered from brain fog, fatigue and an inability to concentrate as long as she could remember.
So when she watched Tiktok videos in which women shared their ‘day in a life’ with ADHD, she sought a diagnosis – and got one.
But after trying of medicines that caused her side effects, her extreme fatigue and forgetfulness continued.
In July 2023 she returned to her doctor who this time ordered blood tests who revealed that she was dangerously low in iron.
The essential mineral, iron plays a crucial role in energy levels, cognitive function, digestion and immunity.
It is common for people to suffer from iron deficiency, which affects an estimated 36 percent of British women of fertile age, diagnosed with only a quarter.
It is remarkable that after the prescribed iron injections course, not only her energy returned, but also her ADHD symptoms disappeared.
