ADHD & How Anyone Can Improve Their Focus | Huberman Lab Podcast #37

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, attention, 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.

MY MISSION
To spread awareness about nonhyperactive ADHD (what i call "Hidden ADHD") in order to help those who are suffering. They should know what they can do to help. They should know they are not lazy, unmotivated, or willfully irresponsible. They should know that they have the potential to realize their full potential and live the life of their dreams.

ADHD & How Anyone Can Improve Their Focus | Huberman Lab Podcast #37

In this episode, I discuss ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): what it is, the common myths, and the biology and psychology of ADHD.

I discuss both behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for ADHD, and brain-machine interface tools. I also discuss behavioral training protocols that can improve focus in people with ADHD and those without ADHD, and for people of different ages. I discuss the role of dopamine in coordinating ‘default-mode’ and ‘task-related’ neural networks, attentional “blinks” (lapses of attention) and how to overcome them, and the role of actual blinks in time perception and attention. Finally, I review some of the prescription and over-the-counter compounds for increasing focus such as Adderall, Ritalin, Modafinil and Armodafinil, the racetams, Alpha-GPC and phosphatidylserine and the role of diet for managing ADHD (and the controversies of diet for ADHD).

The role of cell phones/technology in ADHD and ADHD-like challenges with focus are also discussed. Throughout, both basic science and clinical scenarios, as well as applicable tools and resources are covered.

The common symptoms of anxiety can include: panic, fear, uneasiness, sleep problems, not being able to stay calm, cold, or sweaty hands or feet, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, dry mouth, nausea, tense muscles, dizziness and so on. But did you know that some of these symptoms go overlook? Give this video a watch and see if you identify with some of these uncommon symptoms of anxiety.

Disclaimer: Seeing signs is not enough for a proper diagnosis. These are just to give you an idea so you can go see a professional.

How to Focus to Change Your Brain | Huberman Lab Podcast #6

This episode introduces neuroplasticity—which is how our brain and nervous system learn and acquire new capabilities. I describe the differences between childhood and adult neuroplasticity, the chemicals involved and how anyone can increase their rate and depth of learning by leveraging the science of focus. I describe specific tools for increasing focus and learning. The next two episodes will cover the ideal protocols for specific types of learning and how to make learning new information more reflexive.
