Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is challenging for many. There are times these individuals perform and times they under perform. The inconsistency leads many to doubt their abilities. They build barriers to hide, to protect themselves, and in some cases use different personas to hide in plain sight. In this episode, we talk to ADDiva Linda Roggli (http://www.addiva.net). Linda shares her combined experience as an individual and a coach and illuminates how many use personas like the “perfectionist,” the “ditz,” the “super hero,” and others to deflect and protect. More importantly, she talks about the long-term effect of using such personas, how exhausting it is, and its impact on your inner self.

Marriage and relationships are difficult to begin with. Adding kids doesn’t make it any easier!  But add ADHD to the relationship and… UGH! Often, romance and intimacy take a back seat when the business of the family becomes front and center, and the challenges of ADHD are magnified so that the relationship is stressed.

Parents want to help those with ADHD succeed in college.

In general, how much education does a physician or psychiatrist get in med school around ADHD? Is there an impact on ADHD by such levels of education? ADHD stimulant medications are Schedule II drugs. How does that affect those who prescribe ADHD stimulant medications?

In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Dr. Russell Barkley (http://russellbarkley.org) around the research suggesting there is a new attentional disorder called sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT), also known as concentration deficit disorder (CDD). Dr. Barkley enlightens us on the disorder, how it differs from ADD, and how that many diagnosed with what DSM used to define as inattentive ADD might actually be SCT/CDD. This is important, as differences in diagnosis respond to very different treatments. If you have been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD or know somebody who is, this is interview could impact the treatment and support of the condition.

Even though emotions are not a part of the diagnostic criteria for ADHD in the DSM-5, researchers agree that emotions are as much a part of ADHD as attention. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we are interviewing clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas E. Brown (www.DrThomasEBrown.com) around why those with ADHD struggle so much with emotions, the role emotions play in executive functioning, the impact of emotions on working memory, and how emotions impact the “Google” search function in our brain. We also ask him to specifically use the concept of erectile dysfunction as a metaphor to help understand the chemical dynamics of the brain. Dr. Brown is an ADHD thought leader. He is articulate and on point. The only reason to miss this show is if you are in crisis or someone in your family is giving birth! That’s right. The content is that good!
