ADD. Oleg received this diagnosis very early in elementary school. Today he's asking himself: Was this diagnosis correct? Is it really ADD or ADHD? Or maybe neither? Precisely for this reason—and also because you've been wanting to learn more about ADHD—Oleg is undergoing another ADD/ADHD assessment. He also has your experiences and questions with him. Experts from the LMU Munich Hospital explain all the background information and possible ways to deal with the diagnosis. And of course, at the end, we'll find out: What exactly is wrong with Oleg? Is Oleg neurodivergent and does he have ADD or ADHD? And what does that mean for him and his future?
And if that's not enough for you: With this film, we're kicking off our series "Is My Brain Wrong?" and talking a lot about neurodiversity. Feel free to subscribe and don't miss any more films on the topic 🧡
This film is for educational purposes.

This is #TheQuestion:
There are these big, tricky questions that have no easy answers: Why do we bully? Why do we let animals suffer? Do we drink too much? Or: What does porn do to us?
Our team and we are interested in questions that directly relate to our lives, but also topics that are important to all of us and are often only discussed superficially.
We seek answers to these questions, week after week – openly, honestly, and independently. We don't meet experts for this, but rather we're there: at the slaughterhouse, at the swingers' party, while proselytizing in the pedestrian zone.
And because we want to get to know as many perspectives as possible in our search, a question always occupies us for several weeks. In the end, we want to provide an answer, even if it's not easy for us.
With each video—but especially in the discussions with you—we get a little closer to answering the big, tricky questions.
