What prevents young people of color from recognizing their learning differences and ADHD? According to user researcher Yasmeen Adams, there’s a perception by some that ADHD is a “white boy problem.”
Hosts Julian Saavedra and Marissa Wallace welcome Yasmeen to the show to discuss the results of interviews with dozens of young people of color with ADHD. The hosts ask pointed questions about how experiences differ between Black youth and other people of color. And Yasmeen shares why, as a Black person with ADHD, this research is personally meaningful.

Anxiety was the most crippling thing in my life. Over the years, I've done a lot of research and studied neurochemically to find out what was happening when anxiety would strike. This Q & A will answer 6 common anxiety questions. I'll also explain the process I use and the logic that you need to master your anxiety. These tips were simple to implement and helped me feel hopeful. You can feel superhuman and achieve your full potential if you take action.

In this episode, I discuss ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): what it is, the common myths, and the biology and psychology of ADHD.
I will discuss ADHD treatment options, including pharmacologic and behavioral treatments. I also talk about behavioral training protocols that can help improve focus for ADHD patients and people without ADHD. I also discuss the role that dopamine plays in the coordination of 'default-mode" and 'task related' neural networks. Attentional "blinks", or lapses of attention, are discussed as well as how to overcome them. And finally, the importance of actual blinks in time perception, and attention. Finally, I discuss some of the prescription and non-prescription drugs for increasing focus, such as Ritalin and Modafinil, Armodafinil and Armodafinil.
We also discuss the role of technology and cell phones in ADHD and ADHD-like difficulties with focus. Both clinical and basic science scenarios are discussed as well as the applicable tools and resources.
