The speaker, who has been diagnosed with TDH (Traumatic Brain Injury), shares their journey of understanding and overcoming the challenges associated with the condition. They express appreciation for a video by Rafael de Oliveira, which led them to research more about TDH.
The speaker acknowledges that TDH is not just a lack of attention, but a problem in the frontal cortex that affects tension regulation. They describe their struggle with persistent attention, a common issue with TDH, which can lead to a constant preoccupation with a particular thought or activity.
The speaker also discusses their experience with medication, specifically Ritalin, which caused persistent attention. They note that the effects of the medication wore off after a certain period, leading to a return of the persistent attention.
Despite initial reluctance, the speaker started a new medication treatment. They express satisfaction with the progress they've made, including being able to read for extended periods and complete a script they had been working on.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of seeking professional medical help for TDH or any other medical conditions. They highlight that there are now several medication options available for TDH, and it's crucial to work with a healthcare professional to find the best treatment.
