We kick off season 2 talking about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Together with guest Dr.Mavia Capanna we share stories of the evolving picture of ADHD as individuals grow older, from masking symptoms to fit into society to its toll on romantic relationships.  We discuss the evolving paradigms of ADHD: the negative impact of substance misuse as coping strategies and the new found relationships between hyper focus, success and intelligence. 
 
 This episode is dedicated to Sanjay.
