ADHD Videos: Practical Advice for Everyday Life

Watch. Understand. Try something practical.
ADHD Videos for Everyday Life
ADHD can look very different from one person to another. You might struggle with time, forget what you were doing, feel overwhelmed by simple tasks or find it difficult to switch off.
These short videos explore some of the everyday experiences associated with ADHD and explain the psychology behind them.
Choose the topic that feels most relevant to you.
ADHD and Time Blindness
Time can seem to disappear with ADHD. You may underestimate how long something will take, lose track of time when you’re absorbed in something, or find yourself rushing even when you planned ahead.
In this video, Dr Yvonne Yates explains ADHD and time blindness and why managing time can feel so difficult.
ADHD and Executive Function: Why Simple Tasks Feel So Hard
Tasks that look simple from the outside can involve several executive functions. With ADHD, getting started, deciding what to do first, staying focused and following a task through can all require extra effort.
In this video, Dr Yvonne Yates explains why everyday tasks can feel surprisingly difficult with ADHD and why this isn’t simply about motivation.
ADHD and Depression: Understanding the Overlap
ADHD and depression can sometimes look similar. Difficulties with motivation, concentration, energy and getting things done can occur with both, but understanding what is driving these difficulties matters.
In this video, Dr Yvonne Yates explores the overlap between ADHD and depression and explains why looking beyond the symptoms can help us understand what may be happening.

ADHD Burnout and Overwhelm: When Everything Feels Too Much
When everyday demands keep building, ADHD can leave you feeling mentally and physically drained. Tasks that you would normally manage can start to feel much harder, and even small demands can become overwhelming.
In this video, Dr Yvonne Yates explores ADHD burnout and overwhelm, why it can happen and why recognising the signs early can matter.
ADHD at Work: Why Getting Things Done Can Feel So Difficult
Work can place heavy demands on attention, organisation, working memory and time management. With ADHD, keeping track of priorities, starting tasks and staying focused can sometimes take much more effort than other people realise.
In this video, Dr Yvonne Yates looks at some of the reasons getting things done at work can be difficult with ADHD and shares practical ways to make tasks more manageable.

ADHD and Relationships: Why Communication Can Feel So Difficult
ADHD can affect relationships in ways that aren’t always obvious. Attention, working memory, emotional regulation and impulsivity can all influence conversations, misunderstandings and how connected we feel to other people.
In this video, Dr Yvonne Yates explores some of the ways ADHD can affect relationships and why understanding what’s happening underneath the behaviour can make a difference.
