I introduce Dad, Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis, who does look like a Psychiatrist meme (beard, glasses ie: Freud) to discuss, as simply as possible, ADHD: an illness that has entered main stream pop culture. Why does 'everyone' seem to have it? Is it a Psychiatric illness or a neurological disorder? Where is the future of ADHD treatment headed, and why are celebrities coming out about it? 

As is the promise, we will attempt to answer it all, in layman's terms.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome to the very first episode of The Psychiatrist's Waiting Room, with your host Georgia Cassimatis. This trailer episode introduces what the show is about and what you can expect to hear in each episode. Georgia shares her own story as a journalist and why she came to interview her father, a Psychiatrist with 50 years experience, about all things to do with mental illness.

Growing up in this world, with a father who worked as a Psychiatrist, Georgia was often asked if she could ask her Dad to explain what a certain problem and mental illness was. Knowing this needed to be explained in layman's terms, she decided to do a Podcast about it. That way she can 'kill two birds with one stone'. So, imagine you are at a BBQ and you meet Psychiatrist Dr Nicholas Cassimatis who has been working for 50 years. You’re keen to know exactly what an illness is, but want a simple explanation. We aim to do that.
