333 | Race-Based Trauma, RSD and ADHD with Romanza McAllister, LCSW

featured image

“You develop a codependent relationship with work or with the world as a person of color because you end up playing to how people see you.” This episode of ADHD reWired features Eric Tivers as host and Romanza McAllister as guest. Romanza McAllister, LCSW, is a psychotherapist. She graduated in 2008 from Hunter College School of Social Work where she studied case management and groupwork. Romanza has been providing family and focused solution group counseling in both outpatient and inpatient settings for the past ten years.

Romanza discusses her experiences as a black teenager diagnosed with ADHD when she was ten years old. She also talks about the impact it had on her career and school years. Romanza talks about her experience working for herself, and how it has helped her feel relieved that she doesn’t need to wonder why she was hired.

Eric asks questions that he is not comfortable with to help him learn how to approach certain topics. Romanza explains that there is no color blindness, and it is our responsibility to create safe spaces through reflective and empathic listening.

Romanza speaks out about how it feels to be validated by people asking her questions about her life as a woman of colour. Romanza says it makes her feel validated when people ask her questions about her life. Romanza and Eric also discuss RSD and the triggers.

Is sensitivity training sufficient? Romanza believes that everyone can benefit from antiracism training, regardless of their race. She also discusses what they can do as a policy perspective around ADHD, children and schools, so that people of colour don’t need to be black or ADHD. They can be themselves. This is an inspiring conversation that all should hear.

Hypochondriasis or hypochondria is a condition in which a person is excessively and unduly worried about having a serious illness. An old concept, the meaning of hypochondria has repeatedly changed.[1] It has been claimed that this debilitating condition results from an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical diagnosis.[2] An individual with hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be diagnosed with, a serious illness.[3]

Often, hypochondria persists even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured them that their concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or, if there is a medical illness, their concerns are far in excess of what is appropriate for the level of disease. It is also referred to hypochondriaism which is the act of being in a hypochondriatic state, acute hypochondriaism.[4] Many hypochondriacs focus on a particular symptom as the catalyst of their worrying, such as gastro-intestinal problems, palpitations, or muscle fatigue. To qualify for the diagnosis of hypochondria the symptoms must have been experienced for at least 6 months.[5]

International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) classifies hypochondriasis as a mental and behavioral disorder. [6] In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, DSM-IV-TR defined the disorder, "Hypochondriasis", as a somatoform disorder[7] and one study has shown it to affect about 3% of the visitors to primary care settings.[8] The 2013 DSM-5 replaced the diagnosis of hypochondriasis with the diagnoses of somatic symptom disorder (75%) and illness anxiety disorder (25%).[9][10]

How to say what you mean without pissing-off people. #adhd #socialskills

featured image

Picking up on the drama of the previous episode, we continue the series on how ADHD affects our social skills. As many of you know, social skills are more challenging for us than others who don’t have #ADHD. And even within the ADHD population, there are some who are more impacted by this symptom than others.

WHY THIS TOPIC?
I chose “Over/Under reacting” as the number-three of the most worrisome Social Skills because it is a theme that has popped up in my life enough that caused me to think there was something wrong with my personality. I’ve lost friends over this particular quirk and it’s led me down paths where I prioritized things that didn’t need immediate attention and catastrophized events that didn’t warrant the drama I gave to it.

NEED TO CATCH UP?
Need to catch up on the videos about Social Skills? Find them here:
Ep. 5 “That Was Awkward” ADHD and Social Awkwardness” Q
Ep. 5.2 “Five (5) Tips to Fix Your Social Skills Ills” 8

Here are the Social Skills covered so far in Ep. 5.2
5. Blowing off or canceling plans on friends and other commitments.
4. Not paying attention to what is being said to you in conversations
3. (this episode) Under Reacting or Over Reacting (or “inappropriate” reactions to information or circumstances presented.

http://adhdinadults.com/ Learn how healthcare professionals can better educate their patients about Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and how to facilitate the conversations surrounding ADHD from Anthony Rostain MD/MA, the Medical Director for the Penn Medicine Adult ADHD Program. Rostain offers doctors and/or PCPs guidance on how to educate patients about adult ADHD and set them up for successful treatment.

When discussing ADHD for the first time with a patient, the doctor should help the patient identify some of their strengths as well as their weaknesses as they relate to ADHD. Highlighting positive characteristics helps give patient hope and reminds the patient there is support available for managing their disorder. Encouraging patients to learn about changes in their home environment and providing other strategies for patients to cope with ADHD is also encouraged.

Doctors should discuss expectations regarding treatment options early. In order to effectively do so, physicians should be aware of the prescription options available for treating patients (stimulants and non-stimulants). Healthcare professionals should also know about local cognitive therapy resources that are available to help patients manage their ADHD.

One kind of barrier that patients may have is overcoming behavioral problems, such as procrastination. Another barrier is a lack of confidence, due to the interference ADHD has had over the course of the patient's life. These barriers can result in compensatory strategies that can interfere with coping strategies. Cognitive therapy can help patients reduce symptoms and improve functioning without medication and knowing its advantages is important to counseling patients.
