@dralexgeorge: Why do I act before I think? Impulsivity is one of the hardest parts of my ADHD, often because of what I have to deal with further down the line. I once signed up for a master’s degree on impulse and invested a lot of time, only to realise I couldn’t finish it. Dr Kathryn Bates and I talk more about this in this week’s episode of Figuring It Out. We explore what drives impulsivity in ADHD, the role of dopamine and how genetics can influence why some people find it harder to resist an immediate reward. Listen to part one wherever you get your podcasts 💚

Not every impulsive decision comes from a lack of thought. Sometimes there’s so much more happening beneath the surface

Signing up the courses - nightmare for me too. So much CPD in my profession. Still in my Masters and it’s so dam hard! Every term I wonder if I made the right choice.

Was discussing with my adhd daughter how ADHDers are statistically more likely to die earlier I assume due to impulsivity…

Teenage son set a new world record for number of after school detentions at his old high school, usually for things like ‘making fart noises in class’ or ‘shouting out in class’. All impulse control issues. You’d think at some point the school would realise detentions don’t work 🙄
