24. Where does ADHD come from? Part 2
In part one, we learned about a man named Doctor Gabor Mate. His claims about ADHD are popular, profound, and polarizing. He believes there's no such thing as ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, etc., as we have come to know it. We know them by their symptoms. In reality, we only know the names used to describe what are truly external markers of emotional or physical traumas and are often acquired during childhood.
22.💊 Why is the Adderall Shortage happening in 2023? 2 of 2
Adults have overtaken children since the 2010s for prescription ADHD drugs. Stimulants offer irreplaceable relief to patients who suffer from neurodivergence. It improves their work and school performance, reducing their risk of anxiety, depression, drug abuse and suicide. A 2017 study of millions of patient records observed adult ADHD patients who take stimulants are less likely to get into an auto accident. This is significant because one of the manifestations of adult ADHD is frequent auto accidents.
That's probably why Dr. David Goodman calls stimulants "One of the most effective treatments in all of medicine, for any condition." When people have heart disease or diabetes, taking a pill doesn't suddenly make them able to function the way a healthy person does. For example, suppose you have a heart problem requiring you to take drugs. In that case, once you take the medication, you can't be miraculously able to start running marathons.
19. How EMDR Therapy can be used to manage ADHD
Comorbid symptoms; comorbidities; or co-occurring conditions are defined as the presence of one or more additional medical or mental health conditions that occur alongside a primary condition. Comorbidities are common in many medical and mental health conditions and can complicate diagnosis and treatment. How do ADHD’s comorbidities contribute to depression and anxiety?
18. History and science of Binaural Beats, the science and how to use them to focus with ADHD. (and a Brain.fm review)
In the 1970s, binaural beats were used for therapeutic purposes. Robert Monroe, the founder of the Monroe Institute, pioneered using binaural beats for relaxation, meditation, and altered states of consciousness. Monroe developed a technology called "Hemi-Sync," which used binaural beats to synchronize the left and right hemispheres of the brain and induce various mental states.
The 1970s and the strange experiments happening at that time regarding human consciousness and altered states are fascinating. The show Stranger Things is based on the MK-Ultra experiments conducted by the United States. However, explaining what that was is a whole other episode and a different podcast. Here's something interesting, though, have you ever heard of the gateway process? The Gateway Process is a meditation program developed by the Monroe Institute in the 1970s. It is intended to help individuals explore altered states of consciousness and expand their awareness.
16. How to Clean and Organize with ADHD
A clean space is a happy space, and clutter tends to poorly affect your focus whenever your space is untidy. Even so, the thought of cleaning and organizing induces waves of anxiety and procrastination for me. It may be challenging, but there are scientifically proven benefits to having a clean environment.
15. High Achievers with ADHD
There's something special about neurodivergence, truly. When you do the research, you learn that the prevalence of ADHD is significantly higher amongst those who share ancestry with ancient people who migrated frequently. That tells me a lot. Perspective is everything, and now I wonder if ADHD is somehow a natural defense against the onset of homogenous culture and its complacency-promoting tendencies instead of being a screw-up.
14. Alpha Brain for ADHD (Review)
I was only ever attracted to Alpha Brain because I could not afford the expensive stimulant drugs to treat my inattention. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and sleep were helpful, but I still needed help concentrating on my job. As a podcast fan, I stumbled across Alpha Brain by Onnit and tried it out. Here is my general experience with the clinically studied, plant-based brain vitamin.
13. How is Adult ADHD Treated? (Taking prescription stimulants feel like for the first time.)

12. The 6 Most Serious ADHD Symptoms
ADHD can operate as a “silent impairment.”. An invisible paralysis that occurs in your mind instead of your extremities. The hardest part is, sometimes, it’s hard to notice how impulsiveness, inattention, or hyperactivity is impairing you. If you’re not careful to manage these symptoms, it can drastically threaten your livelihood. Listen on spotify
11. 4 Tips if You've Just Been Diagnosed with Adult ADHD
How many kids with ADHD does it take to change a lightbulb? We’ve all heard the joke in school, but in the dawn of cancel culture, ADHD’ers remain an evergreen target for inappropriate jokes for some reason. Am I suggesting we try to “cancel” people who yell “Squirrel!” to imply someone has ADHD insensitively? No. But I think I figured out why alopecia isn’t funny and chronic distraction is (shoutout to Will Smith). It’s all about visibility. As a society, if we can’t see it, it’s often not real to us.
With symptoms like depression, low-self esteem, a higher risk of suicide, and more frequent auto accidents, it’s clear that ADHD, for those who live with it, it’s not very funny. If you just found out you have ADHD, here are some things that would've helped me know sooner about the strange cognitive difference.

9. The TOP 6 Fictional characters who have ADHD. (Or, probably have it.)
Representation is important. Handicapable people need Daredevil, the financially downtrodden need Robinhood, and neurodivergent people aren’t any different. Who can be called the caped-crusader for people with ADHD, though? My response: name one who can’t be.
8. How to stick to your New Years’ Resolution in 2023 with ADHD

I don’t know anyone who says, “I will be completely happy if my life stays the way it is now, forever.” yet, most people also struggle to make consistent efforts toward their goals. Here is how you can stick to your goals with ADHD in 2023!
