Unfortunately my co-host Dr. Fu is missing from today. But in this episode, we dive deep into the topic of ADHD, exploring its diagnosis, challenges with the DSM criteria, and the complexities of executive functioning deficits that define the disorder. We tackle the common question, “Is ADHD real?” and discuss how the history of ADHD has shaped the way it is understood today. We also explore the nature versus nurture debate and discuss the influence of biological and environmental factors on ADHD. Throughout the conversation, we challenge traditional thinking, encouraging listeners to approach ADHD from a broader perspective, considering both the internal and external factors that contribute to managing symptoms. Finally, we discuss the importance of an internal locus of control and how individuals can take charge of their treatment and overall functioning. Join us for a thoughtful, nuanced conversation on ADHD, identity, and the evolving landscape of diagnosis and treatment.🔴PsychoFarm YouTube💡Anti-depressant Course📖 PsychoFarm's Treating Depression Book
