In this Q&A episode of The Therapy Podcast, we unpack why everyday tasks can feel like climbing a mountain, explore the science of dopamine and executive function, and highlight the hidden strengths of ADHD—like creativity, hyperfocus, and innovation. Plus, you’ll learn practical strategies to make the basics easier and design a life that plays to your brain’s strengths.
