ADHD: The Expert Roundtable
In this week's episode we are joined by some very special guests to have our first ADHD Roundtable Discussion. We welcome back Brendan Mahan (ADHD Essentials), Rene Brooks (Black Girl, Lost Keys), and Aurora Remember Holtzman (Embracing Intensity) to the show to talk about ADHD, impulsivity, parenting, rejection sensitivity, and physical symptoms that co-occur with the diagnosis. In a very special moment, and vulnerable share, Rene opens up about her experiences with navigating her race and her ADHD, and how even in 2020 there are issues with finding women of color that openly talk about their diagnosis.
What is ADHD: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental disorders affecting children. ADHD also affects many adults. Symptoms of ADHD include inattention (not being able to keep focus), hyperactivity (excess movement that is not fitting to the setting) and impulsivity (hasty acts that occur in the moment without thought). There are three different types of ADHD, depending on which types of symptoms are strongest in the individual:
- Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: It is hard for the individual to organize or finish a task, to pay attention to details, or to follow instructions or conversations. The person is easily distracted or forgets details of daily routines.
- Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: The person fidgets and talks a lot. It is hard to sit still for long (e.g., for a meal or while doing homework). Smaller children may run, jump or climb constantly. The individual feels restless and has trouble with impulsivity. Someone who is impulsive may interrupt others a lot, grab things from people, or speak at inappropriate times. It is hard for the person to wait their turn or listen to directions. A person with impulsiveness may have more accidents and injuries than others.
- Combined Presentation: Symptoms of the above two types are equally present in the person.
