The launch pad for today's Q & A session is my recently released video:
   • What is ADHD?  

After a 23 minute recap of the topic, I’ll be available for questions on this video and other ADHD related or mental health topics.

Rather than focusing on a narrow aspect of ADHD, this video provides more of an overarching framework about what ADHD entails and how the mental health field currently thinks about it. ADHD is more than a checklist of symptoms, but probably relates more fundamentally to disruptions of executive functions centered in the prefrontal cortex.

ADHD symptoms exist on a spectrum of severity. It appears that at least some individuals can acquire ADHD symptoms later in life secondary ADHD, although it is often hard to know whether these will persist, and how often they are a manifestation of another condition, such as dementia, head trauma, or long COVID.
