Listen Later

Dale Archer M.D. is a Psychiatrist and Founder/CEO of The Institute for Neuropsychiatry and NYT bestselling author of two great books: ‘The ADHD Advantage’ and ‘Better than Normal’.

We talk to Dale about how ADHD can be a huge advantage if we society reframes ADHD-ers to see it as an advantage and not a sickness. We talk about the perfect storm of overdiagnosis, the profits from ADHD medication and trigger-happy prescriptions of ADHD drugs. We talk about how the ADHD brain works and is challenged by our one-size-fits-all education system. We talk about the ADHD gifts of resilience, “Bingo-Brain, non-linear thinking and multi-tasking. Dale shares some tips for parents of ADHD-ers and we celebrate some of the heroes of ADHD.
