  You can help most by being a steady, safe, non‑judgmental presence while also taking the risk of abuse seriously and not trying to “fix” everything yourself. youngminds +5 First priority: safety Ask (gently, in private) if they feel physically safe right now living around their parents, and if anything like the harassment has happened recently. kidshelpphone +1 If there is any current or recent physical abuse, encourage them to talk with a safe adult or professional (doctor, therapist, school/college counselor, clergy, or a domestic abuse hotline in their area). Offer to sit with them while they call or to be on text nearby. chadd +2 Make it clear: “You didn’t deserve what they did. None of this is your fault, and you’re not overreacting to call it abuse.” Being explicitly believed is huge after betrayal and gaslighting. kidshelpphone +1 Example phrase: “I believe you. What your dad did was not okay, and you deserved protection, not harm. I’m here with you while you...

  Its funny I just had perplexity make up some psychology lessons and in just chapter 1-15 it already covers mental health disorders like ADHD and Autism, lol.   So in the beginners psychology I just put together, it also talks about neurotransmitters, neurons, synapses, and much more!       But....   Thats as far as I wanted to go LMAO.   I would not like to just survive life, I want to live it... I also found out that the support network of the victim has a dramatic impact on if they heal, how quickly and more,  just like I said, the positive support network is the hardest part for me.

  Yes, they often are affected differently, but not in a simple “better or worse” way. It depends on whether the main problem is depression/anxiety, ADHD, or both, and on the specific drug and dose. droracle +2 Big picture SSRIs like Zoloft (sertraline) and Lexapro (escitalopram) mainly treat serotonin‑related mood and anxiety symptoms, not core ADHD symptoms like inattention and executive dysfunction. medisearch +2 People with undiagnosed ADHD who are treated “as if it’s just depression” often report only partial benefit: mood feels somewhat better, but focus, motivation, and organization remain poor. adhdrollercoaster +1 This pattern (multiple SSRI trials, chronic “treatment‑resistant” depression, ongoing attention problems) is common in adults whose underlying ADHD has not been recognized. [ adhdrollercoaster ]​ How SSRIs can feel different if ADHD is present For someone with undiagnosed ADHD, SSRIs can: Help some symptoms: less anxiety, fewer ruminations, somewhat improved mo...

  The Irony of Being Undiagnosed: ADHD, Misunderstanding, and the Search for Truth One of the most ironic aspects of my life is living with what I strongly believe to be undiagnosed ADHD in a society that often refuses to listen. In Arkansas—and likely throughout the United States—there are countless people who remain undiagnosed, not because help does not exist, but because they are repeatedly dismissed. This problem is compounded by rigid thinking, personal bias, and an unwillingness—sometimes rooted in narcissistic traits—to consider perspectives other than one’s own. When ADHD goes undiagnosed, its effects do not simply disappear. ADHD is closely tied to dopamine regulation in the brain, and without adequate support or treatment, individuals are often left struggling with chronic depression, emotional instability, and impaired functioning. At the same time, society wonders why substance misuse is so prevalent, without acknowledging that many people are trying—desperately—to m...

Norway vs. Arkansas on adhd diagnosis's...

     If Norway has 5-10 times the rate of diagnosed ADHD cases than Arlamsas does, then since norway has 6 million people and Arkansas just has half that many in population then... Your question hinges on a big epidemiologic assumption, so the answer has to be an order‑of‑magnitude estimate , not a precise number. Let’s break it down. 1. Known numbers you’re referencing Norway’s reported ADHD diagnosis rate in school‑age children is roughly in the 5–10% diagnosed‑disorder range, and in some literature sources the reported prevalence is indeed several times higher than in many U.S. states. [ sciencedirect ] ​ In Arkansas, about 12–13% of children ages 3–17 have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (so roughly 1 in 8 kids), with slightly higher percentages than the national average. cdc +1 Most meta‑analyses suggest that the true underlying ADHD prevalence in the population —if everyone were assessed rigorously—is around 5–7% for children and 2–4% for adults , regardless...

My truths are universal, and I encourage everyone to verify even what they already believed to be true..

 Check your facts and anything anyone tells you so you have at least 2 sources before you believe anything...       Most narcissistic personality types won't want you to check their facts and the way they get you to just believe them is with their words and story without ever verifying anything.  These types might also get angry when confronted with the truth because when you have facts or evidence to back you up, they no longer have anything to say and get frustrated because they no longer know what to do to get you to simply believe what they say.  This is why I say question everything and do your research because so few actually do the work/research before trying to spread their stories or truth, even online but the narcissist's are taking advantage of the supportive people's gullible nature and never anticipate that  you might learn the truth for yourself, but this is why so many of them isolate who they are with so they control all the information...

When Empathy Is Absent: Narcissism, Parenting, and the Quiet Forces That Shape Who We Become

-
Image
 Grandiose narcissism is often misunderstood as simple confidence or ambition. In reality, it is defined by an inflated sense of self-importance, a persistent need for admiration, and a striking lack of empathy. People with strong grandiose narcissistic traits tend to view others less as individuals and more as instruments—valuable primarily for what they can provide. In everyday life, this outlook shapes how relationships are formed and maintained. Friendships, professional connections, and even family ties may become transactional. Attention, validation, status, or convenience are prioritized, while mutual respect and emotional reciprocity fall by the wayside. When others no longer serve a purpose, they may be ignored, devalued, or discarded. This dynamic becomes especially damaging in romantic relationships. Partners of grandiose narcissists are often expected to function as sources of admiration and validation. As long as they reinforce the narcissist’s self-image, harmony ma...

ADHD: Untamed and undiagnosed

-
Image
  For much of my life, I was misunderstood, dismissed, and slowly pushed aside by the very people who knew me best. I was labeled difficult, unreliable, or overly intense. Yet beneath those assumptions was a person who listened carefully, remembered details others forgot, and persisted relentlessly in the search for answers. Only much later did the truth come into focus: I was not broken or deficient—I was living with undiagnosed ADHD, a condition quietly embedded in my family’s history. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is often misunderstood, particularly in families where mental health awareness is limited. Medical guidelines recommend diagnosing ADHD between the ages of four and twelve, but that requires adults who know what to look for. In my family, that knowledge was absent. My grandfather showed signs. My mother did too, as did two of my aunts. The pattern continued with me—and later, with my daughter and nephew. Yet for decades, no one recognized what was happening...

Alienation, Family Breakdown, and the Quiet Roots of Radicalization

-
Image
  Echo chambers cinematic mix on youtube When families and communities fail to support their most vulnerable members, the consequences often extend far beyond individual pain. Alienation—especially when it replaces empathy and care—creates an environment where resentment, disconnection, and, in some cases, radicalization can take root. Modern society is increasingly fragmented. Many people now exist within ideological echo chambers, engaging only with those who reinforce their existing beliefs while shutting out differing perspectives. This growing isolation weakens the sense of shared responsibility that once defined families and communities. Even more troubling is the lack of empathy for individuals who, without support, may become susceptible to harmful beliefs, manipulation, or deep personal delusions. This breakdown in understanding should be one of the most urgent concerns of our time. Over long periods—sometimes five to fifteen years—individuals who actively seek truth, un...
