Dr. Karl Deisseroth, MD, PhD, is a Clinical Psychiatrist and scientist who directs a bioengineering research laboratory at Stanford University School of Medicine. His work aims to understand and develop treatments for disorders of the mind such as depression, attention deficit disorders (ADHD & ADD), autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, eating disorders, borderline personality and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). We discuss his experience treating his patients and his laboratory’s mission to find and develop cures for mental disease and tools for probing how the brain works.

We are told that ADHD sufferers are scattered, forgetful, and inattentive. They interrupt others, are more likely be fired, can't finish work on time and cannot stop talking. Ever.
People with ADHD are said to struggle to function in the real world because of these symptoms. If we accept that story, then why is there so much ADHD people who can not only function but thrive?
My symptoms were an additional obstacle. I resolved to change my mind one day. I wanted to understand why ADHD was being viewed and described in the way it was. These were the views I had internalized from early 90s. Two studies in 2018, showed ADHD in a completely different light.
Cognitive dynamism is a way to have so many thoughts going through your head that it becomes overwhelming. Hyper-focus is a synonym for inattentiveness. It's the ability to be so focused on one task that you lose touch with the world around. We now refer to divergent thinking as being able to generate creative ideas through exploring multiple possible solutions.
Let's have a discussion about ADHD's positive and impactful side. This is the side that makes us better at work and in our communities. Even if you don't have ADHD you will be asked to openly discuss your preconceived notions about mental illness and the people you talk to. Let's work together to change the story for ADHD patients.
