LT psyconnected with Katie Ramsey, a fourth-year graduate student of clinical psychology at the University of Southern Mississippi and incoming predoctoral intern at the UAB-BVAMC Consortium, to talk about ADHD.  

In this episode, they talk about what ADHD is (based on the DSM-V definition), causes, common myths, prevalence rates, how it differs in children and adults, and much more! It was an engaging discussion!
