RSD is a condition that often occurs in people with ADHD. An intense emotional reaction to perceived or actual rejection or criticism characterizes it.

I think Dr. Gabor Mate figured out where ADHD comes from.

No new episode this week but now is the time to comment on the show!

This is part two of explaining the Adderall crisis. In the last episode, we discussed the brief history of amphetamines and why there is an Adderall shortage today. Here's a quick recap.: • We learned that the natural stimulant Ephedra shortage in the 1920s likely caused the initial creation of synthetic amphetamines that we rely on to treat inattention and other conditions today. • We also learne...

Where does Adderall come from? The decongestant properties of amphetamine were discovered by accident in the 1920s. In 1927, a Romanian chemist named Lazăr Edeleanu synthesized amphetamine for the first time, but he did not recognize its stimulant properties. Instead, he used it to create a nasal decongestant called Benzedrine. Edeleanu was looking for a synthetic substitute for ephedrine, a natur...

You spend one-third of your life sleeping, and you spend another third of your life working. Eight hours of sleep, eight hours of work. Within an entire day, you have just eight hours of your waking life to spend with yourself. With such little time, it's understandable why you stopped drawing, writing stories, podcasting, adhering to a healthy diet, drinking more water, trying to start a busi...

The eye movements or other bilateral stimulation used in EMDR therapy are believed to facilitate communication between the brain's two hemispheres, which may help process traumatic memories more effectively. It was explained to me as calming down the part of your conscious brain that looks for stressors (amygdala and prefrontal cortex) and keeping it distracted enough to deal with things you m...

Music is powerful and can evoke emotion and memories when people hear it. I'm 35 now, but whenever I put on the song "One Call Away" by Chingy, it immediately takes me back to feeling Seventeen again. It would be redundant to mention that music can make you want to move your body.; but have you ever associated music with work or focus? Okay, the first association with music is likely different fro...

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals of all ages and genders. It is characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. While ADHD has historically been considered a disorder that predominantly affects boys and men, recent research has shown that ADHD symptoms in women can manifest differently than in men. Understanding...

Cleaning and organizing can be daunting for anyone, but it can be incredibly challenging for people with ADHD. The combination of distractibility and impulsivity can make cleaning and organizing overwhelming and frustrating. However, with the right strategies, people with ADHD can successfully clean and organize their homes. A clean space is a happy space, and clutter tends to poorly affect my foc...

In grade school, you may notice you're different than your peers. You love to talk a lot, even when the teacher is talking. People might seem drawn to you. Who has time for homework? It's more fun to daydream. As you age, your sense of wonder isn't as appreciated as it was. It's expected of us all, at some point, to give up on our dreams. It's never said outright, but daydreaming out the window, b...

I was only ever attracted to Alpha Brain because I could not afford the expensive stimulant drugs to treat my inattention. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and sleep were helpful, but I still needed help concentrating on my job. As a podcast fan, I stumbled across Alpha Brain by Onnit and tried it out. Here is my general experience with the clinically studied, plant-based brain vitamin.  Fre...

Who remembers the movie, Limitless? It's not just entertaining but how I would describe taking a specific medication to treat my ADHD for the first time. Not all medications used to treat neurodivergence have the same effect, and all medicines have side effects. If you want to know about the drugs to treat ADHD and how they work, listen now! The symptoms of ADHD can be overwhelming, and they can m...

ADHD can operate as a “silent impairment.”. An invisible paralysis that occurs in your mind instead of your extremities. The hardest part is, sometimes, it’s hard to notice how impulsiveness, inattention, or hyperactivity is impairing you. If you’re not careful to manage these symptoms, it can drastically threaten your livelihood. Free ADHD Symptom Quiz Free e-EMDR Stress and Anxiety Buster (Lowke...

How many kids with ADHD does it take to change a lightbulb? We’ve all heard the joke in school, but in the dawn of cancel culture, ADHD’ers remain an evergreen target for inappropriate jokes for some reason. Am I suggesting we try to “cancel” people who yell “Squirrel!” to imply someone has ADHD insensitively? No. But I think I figured out why alopecia isn’t funny and chronic distraction is (shout...

ADHD affects about 4% of the population. It’s a neurological difference (neurodivergence) that makes it difficult to sustain focus on specific tasks for extended periods. To read more about what ADHD is, click here . Everyone misplaces their keys, but to be considered neurodivergent, these symptoms must persist for longer than six months and likely will have been present since childhood. Not only...

Representation is important. Handicapable people need Daredevil, the financially downtrodden need Robinhood, and neurodivergent people aren’t any different.

It’s become a cultural trend. An acceptance that a certain percentage of people will abandon their gym routine after only a short period if they started it as part of a New Years’ goal. Even if it’s not the new year, everyone I know wants to live a life of abundance. I don’t know anyone who says, “I will be completely happy if my life stays the way it is now, forever.” yet, most people also strugg...

In 1999, a genetic make-up study was conducted on 2,320 people from 39 different groups at the University of Carolina-Irvine. The Mbuti tribe from Africa, the Hahn Chinese, and the North American Cheyenne natives were just a few. When they studied the migration patterns of their ancestors, they found that the groups with higher amounts of migration had a predominance of what scientists named “the...

Recent research offers considerable evidence that ADHD is not a “willpower thing,” even though, in many ways, it appears to be a lack of willpower. When individuals with ADHD are faced with a task that is really interesting to them, not because someone told them that it ought to be interesting — but because it is interesting to them at that moment — that perception, conscious or unconscious, chang...

The true definition of adult ADHD might be hard to understand by only reading a list of symptoms.
