Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders, making it a common topic when discussing mental health. People diagnosed with ADHD often “mask” their identified symptoms by overcompensating in other areas of their life. It’s not uncommon for someone living with ADHD to also experience Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria due to shortcomings related to ADHD symptoms, such as task completion, “time blindness,” and the inability to complete tasks.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders, making it a common topic when discussing mental health. Whether you’re looking to learn more information about ADHD or want to hear from those with ADHD, we put together a list of the best ADHD YouTube channels we could find.

Circle Medical offers affordable and accessible ADHD evaluations and treatment. Diagnosis and prescription over video. Insurance accepted and same day appointments are available.

1. How to ADHD

Jessica has put together a friendly, positive environment that she calls her “ADHD toolbox – a place to keep all the strategies I’ve learned about having and living with ADHD.” The channel is full of tips, tricks, and information about living with ADHD, whether you know someone with it or are looking for advice on navigating it yourself.

Topics include using the Pomodoro method of time management, coping with change, and using the concept of a body double. Videos are friendly and generally upbeat, making them good for kids or adults with ADHD who are looking for a welcoming vibe. Arguably one of the most popular ADHD channels on YouTube, this is a good place to start.

2. Totally ADD

Totally ADD is dedicated to providing accurate information to those struggling with ADHD or working with a loved one who suffers from it. “Our goal is to free everyone from the fear, shame, and stigma that can accompany this often misunderstood and misdiagnosed disorder,” the channel states.

Some recent videos answer common questions about ADHD and how ADHD affects women.

3. Optimal Mind Performance

Dr. Legrand isn’t just an ADHD expert—he has it himself. He says having ADHD in the academic world was a challenge, but now he uses his experiences to educate and inform those with ADHD on how to reach optimal mind performance.

What is optimal mind performance? Dr. Legrand uses the term to describe the strategies he came up with while going through medical school. Videos are very brain-focused, like whether or not caffeine is good for your brain or what kind of foods boost dopamine.

4. Dr. Tracey Marks

Dr. Marks has worked in psychiatry for over 20 years. Her channel addresses all things mental health and her ADHD playlist is full of educational information and advice on treating common symptoms of ADHD.

Want to learn more? Her video on executive function and how it affects those with ADHD is a good place to start. Executive function refers to the set of skills responsible for task management, planning, organizing, and getting things done, something many with ADHD struggle with.

5. Stacey Machelle

“I am not a scientist. I am not a coach. I am not a therapist. I am just a woman who is learning how to turn her life around by managing her symptoms,” Stacey Machelle states in one video. She started her series “ADHD is the New Black” because she didn’t want anyone else to suffer in silence as she did. It took her years to get a diagnosis and now she’s using her channel to educate and empower other black women.

“ADHD can make us feel inept, unqualified, and bring us down to levels of deep depression,” she writes. ‘It makes us question whether things can ever get better, rather we will ever just be “normal.”  The answer is a resounding ‘YES’ you can be highly-functioning with ADHD without shame, without hiding, and without trying to make yourself “normal.”

6. ADHD reWired

This channel/podcast combo is hosted by Eric Tivers, a licensed clinical social worker and coach who specializes in ADHD. He works with clients to help them understand how their brain works, accept who they are, and learn how to manage their symptoms (or find ways that work with their strengths).

Videos are actually visual formats of the podcast of the same name, so if you prefer YouTube for your podcasts (or just prefer watching videos rather than listening) you’ll likely still enjoy this channel.

7. ADHD Mastery

Stuart started this vlog originally to document his experience dealing with Inattentive ADHD. It’s now grown into a channel about self-awareness, tips, and coping strategies. Most of his videos are educational, though Stuart is not a licensed professional or therapist.

We still appreciate his informative videos, like his video on how to keep commitments, laid out step by step.

8. Hidden ADD

Aron calls his channel “Hidden” because he was not hyperactive, so he went under the radar. It took him losing his job and getting a divorce before getting diagnosed with non-hyperactive attention deficit disorder. “In this channel, I share all of the tools, insights, and science-backed strategies I used to turn my life around. My earnest desire is for you to live the life of your dreams!” he writes.

Check out his “how to plan your weekend” video to get started, or, if you’re curious about non-hyperactive ADD, his video on common symptoms of inattentive ADHD.

9. ADHD Vision

ADHD Vision is run by an ADHD mentor who “hopes to build a community full of ADHD-supporting people, who, together, learn how to use ADHD to their advantage by looking at their brain from a strength-based perspective.”

If you’re looking for more information about ADHD or want more strategies on coping with your ADHD, this channel is for you. From tips and tricks to even binaural beats to help you relax, this channel is equal parts education and motivation. There are even meditations specifically for ADHD.

10. Me with ADHD

Many ADHD YouTube channels are personal vlogs of those dealing with ADHD, and this channel is no exception. What makes this channel stand out, though, is its first-hand account of using Adderall to treat the host’s ADHD. Everyone responds differently to medications, but it might still be helpful to see how it affects others in a vlog format.

11. Legion of Weirdos – Christopher Mast

Legion of Weirdos is technically about what channel founder Christopher Mast calls party conversation education: “Fun topics you can use in your social life so you don’t have to explain your day job.” Recently, however, Mast has gotten into talking more about ADHD, as you can see by his entire playlist on the subject.

Like many listed here, Mast isn’t a licensed professional or therapist, but there is still a lot of value in hearing from everyday people about their mental health experiences. Plus, Mast’s lighthearted and fun videos are a great way to feel a little less serious about the whole thing.

12. Eli Murphy

Eli Murphy is an artist who uses animation to illustrate stories about his life, including living with ADHD. While his whole channel isn’t dedicated to the subject, his videos are still a good look into what life with ADHD looks like, especially for artists.

13. TEDx Talks

Ted Talks are pretty much the gold standard for “smart people talking about smart things on the internet,” which makes it perfect for talks on ADHD. The channel isn’t solely focused on ADHD, but videos like Jessica McCabe’s (the channel founder of the How to ADHD channel mentioned above) video on “Failing at Normal” or film student Stephen Tonti’s argument on why ADHD isn’t a disorder, but a difference in cognition prove that TEDx thinks the topic is worth talking about.

14. ADHD Support Talk

This one is another “podcast on YouTube” format channel. Channel founder Tara McGillicuddy is a recognized ADHD expert who’s been working in the field since 1997. She focuses specifically on adult ADHD and how ADHD symptoms impact adults, which can be helpful for those frustrated with the kid-friendly focus that ADHD media sometimes has. She started her podcast to address common misconceptions about the disorder as well other important topics, like self-love, dealing with grief, and the harmful “fibs” those with ADHD tell themselves.

15. Laura the ADHD Mama

You might find yourself parenting a child with ADHD. You may also be someone with ADHD. Or, you might be like Laura, who deals with both. Her youngest daughter and she were both diagnosed with ADHD, and now she’s using YouTube to share her story. “ While researching ADHD for myself and my daughter I decided to start recording my experiences with ADHD,” she writes. “Making these videos has helped me and many others come up with new ways of dealing with their own ADHD and loved ones’ ADHD. It’s so nice not to be alone anymore.”

Videos range from dealing with meltdowns to helping your children with difficult emotions.

16. Molly’s ADHD Mayhem

There is a clear consensus on the thing that many subscribers really appreciate about Molly: she isn’t afraid to acknowledge the messy, the difficult, the emotionally painful, and the real aspects of ADHD. Molly has both Autism and ADHD, and she doesn’t sugarcoat anything. In fact, one of the things this creator is most passionate about is not casting out the messy and hard realities of living a neurodivergent life for the sake of glamorizing or making these mental complexities more palatable to others.

The clear mission of Molly’s ADHD Mayhem is to remind other neurodivergent people that they are not alone, and that it is okay if their ADHD doesn’t feel like a superpower, but instead like an added obstacle that makes their life harder to navigate. Each video and social media post from Molly is a reminder that it is okay to not always pressure ourselves into trying to find a bright side or a silver lining—sometimes it is enough to simply acknowledge that something is difficult and painful.

17. Neurodivergent Magic

Run by Megan Griffith, a certified Emotional Intelligence coach and professional neurodivergent blogger, Neurodivergent Magic’s mission is to encourage awareness and acceptance of neurodivergence through both education and validation. Griffith posts a new video every Tuesday, and occasionally posts vlogs as well.

Neurodivergent Magic creates accessible and relatable neurodivergent content covering everything from how to tell if you are neurodivergent, to how to cope with executive dysfunction, and everything in between.

18. Different Brains

While not specific to ADHD, Different Brains® is about Neurodivergence in all its forms, from Autism to Alzheimer’s and every brain in between.

Different Brains® is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the understanding and
acceptance of the basic variations in the human brain known as neurodiversity; ending the stigma attached to the related diagnoses and treatment; uniting silos of resources and research whose goals could be better achieved through collaboration; offering support to families and caregivers; and improving the lives and maximizing the potential of those whose brains may be different.

Here you will find their weekly interview show Exploring Different Brains (a weekly show hosted by neurodiversity advocate Harold Reitman, MD) and the Week in Neurodiversity (a weekly show covering stories about people with brains that might be a bit different).

19. Purple Ella

Ella has Autism, ADHD, and a desire to live life unapologetically as their fully authentic self. Purple Ella focuses on education, self care, and lifestyle content for all neurodivergent people. With videos on a wide array of topics, from ADHD & Marriage, to emotional regulation, and the occurrence of comorbidities within neurodivergent individuals, Ella covers concepts that are both relevant and relatable to anyone navigating life through the lens of neurodivergence.

20. Dr. Gwen Empowered

This YouTube channel is run by Dr. Gwen Palofax, the founder of Meaningful Growth, representative of her lifelong fight to advocate for and ally with disabled individuals and their families. Dr. Gwen is a licensed psychologist who has committed the last two decades to promoting the happiness and wellbeing of teens and adults with neurodevelopmental disabilities. She has also consistently contributed her expertise to the ongoing conversations surrounding neurodivergence and how we can make the world more accessible and accommodating to neurodivergent individuals.

Dr. Gwen Empowered is centered around empowering neurodiverse and disabled individuals, as well as educating their support systems, and anyone who deeply cares about this community as a whole. As a longtime ally of disabled individuals, Dr. Gwen strives to convert intentions into meaningful actions—this channel is a direct extension of that ongoing mission in her work.

When to See a Therapist About ADHD

Therapists are a great resource for anyone dealing with attention deficit disorders. ADHD symptoms can have significant impacts on your education, work, relationships, and your general feeling of satisfaction, but an experienced therapist can offer support. They can also refer you to trained psychiatrists to help determine a treatment plan to help you cope with day-to-day tasks and stresses. If you suspect you may have ADHD, find a therapist to talk to.
