Listen Later

Why is ADHD considered a disorder — and what does that really mean?

In this episode, Renee explains the basics of why ADHD is classified as a disorder and how it fits into the bigger world of psychological disorders and conditions.

You’ll learn what defines a psychological disorder, where ADHD sits alongside mood disorders, personality disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders — and why these labels matter (and also don't).

Whether you have ADHD, are curious about mental health, want a clearer understanding of diagnostic terms, or think something is wrong with you if you have a disorder (it's not!) this conversation will give you practical insight and clarity.
