I Have ADHD Podcast

Our discussion will address societal skepticism about ADHD and the clarity that a diagnosis brings. Together, Liz and I explore the role of medication, community support, and structured routines that incorporate mindfulness and movement to boost motivation. We’ll tackle misconceptions linking ADHD with laziness and address the stigma of feeling unlovable due to past experiences.You're not going to want to miss this heartfelt episode!

*Friendly Disclaimer: The views expressed in this podcast are not necessarily those of the host, I Have ADHD podcast, or FOCUSED.In case you are wondering: I do not agree with all of Dr. Mellilo's takes on ADHD. However, I think he makes some interesting points and brings up aspects of the conversation that I've never heard before. As someone who's had a lot of repetitive conversations about ADHD and ADHD treatment, this was very interesting to me. My intention during this interview was to ask good questions so that you could hear a different perspective on ADHD and decide for yourself. Dr. Robert Melillo is a clinician, professor, brain researcher, and best-selling author of the book Disconnected Kids. I think you'll find this conversation fascinating. Dr. Melillo challenges the conventional view of ADHD, presenting it not just as a biochemical imbalance, genetic, or underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, but as a developmental imbalance between the two hemispheres of the brain. During our conversation, Dr. Melillo breaks down the three subtypes of ADHD—inattentive, hyperactive-impulsive, and combined—linking them to different brain regions. We explore how the right hemisphere plays a crucial role in attention, while the left is more associated with hyperactivity and impulsivity. Our discussion touches on the intricate interplay within brain regions like the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex, with a nod to the influence of environmental factors and epigenetics. We emphasize the importance of early childhood development and how retained primitive reflexes can impact neurodevelopment. Movement, as Dr. Melillo points out, is vital for brain growth. As we wrap up, Dr. Melillo highlights the importance of a comprehensive, personalized approach to enhancing brain function in adults with ADHD. By focusing on exercises and sensory activities, we can improve communication between brain hemispheres and address imbalances. This episode is one that might make you go, "HMMMMMM" - and I'm all for that. Enjoy! Watch this episode on YouTube Want help with your ADHD? Join FOCUSED! Have questions for Kristen?
