This week Dr Hallowell talks with Kristen Seymour. Kristin shares how she has been working as a nurse practitioner with patients suffering from heart and vascular concerns, but of late her passion has shifted towards those who think differently. Kristin’s passion for ADHD was catalyzed forward through authoring a book on ADHD, The Fog Lifted A Clinician's Victorious Journey With ADHD. Kristin’s own experience of living with ADHD has proven to be the best source of wisdom for her to offer others. She shares about the pros and cons of having ADHD, how sometimes the best parts can also be the worst. From having quick wit, to being extremely innovative, and caring about other people, Kristin sheds light on the different aspects these qualities can bring to people’s lives.

The Wonderful World of Kristen Seymour

I am excited to announce my new podcast, Dr. Hallowell’s Wonderful World of Different.  I will be talking with people who live to the beat of a different drum, exploring the many invisible differences so often called mental illnesses. I prefer to call them differences, both positives and negatives. I see them through the lens of neurodiversity and present them in a true and balanced view, free of the stigma and shame that so often distort and misrepresent these many and common differences.
 
Dr. Hallowell’s Wonderful World of Different celebrates life and the tremendous variety of ways people find to live it. I celebrate the courage and creativity it takes to take a road less travelled, to live outside the lines, and to stand proud and tall being who you are, even while others misunderstand and even ridicule you. My podcast creates a celebratory, triumphant tone for the many varieties of people and minds.
 
So-called mental illnesses are categorized by their pathology, while completely ignoring the strengths they also always embody. I intend to show how wrong—inaccurate, shaming, and condemning—such emphasis on pathology truly is. I want to turn the diagnostic manual upside down and show the myriad strengths represented in all variations of human nature, even those often called illnesses 

I’ve been a psychiatrist for over 40 years, and I’ve met people from all walks of life and with all sorts of differences.
 
My show reverberates with hope, excitement, and positivity, all based on personal experience and stories. I hope you’ll join me.
