Four episodes on ADHD and relationships with Melissa Orlov wasn't enough so we've got an encore for you with our Part 5 Reunion Show -- kicking off with a conversation about therapy and ADHD and what patients and providers need to know about working with ADHD-impacted couples.

Then journalist Sarah Gelbard shares her observations from her role as researcher for our interview with Melissa. What stood out to the healthcare reporter when she started diving into the history of Melissa's work and ADHD?

Finally, coordinating producer Phil Rodemann makes his show debut and we share some of our biggest ah ha! moments from the four conversations we shared with you throughout the month of February. 

We're putting February to bed -- a little late but in a big way on today's show! And we would love to hear from you! Share your own observations or antecdotes by emailing us at [email protected].
