Understanding ADHD in Adults: How it Manifests and Impacts Lives
In this episode, Mike and Jeanine delve into the world of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. Building on Mike's experiences of ADHD, the speakers discuss the symptoms, causes, and potential treatments for this condition. The episode explores how ADHD impacts behavior, focus, impulse control, and even time management. In particular, ADHD, in many cases, remains undiagnosed in women due to differences in how symptoms manifest, leading to issues of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Emphasizing the importance of understanding this disorder rather than using it as an excuse, the conversation then focuses on managing ADHD symptoms, such as increasing organization, time management, and effective impulsivity reduction. The episode encourages listeners to consider if ADHD may impact their lives or the lives of those around them.
