  • A wonderful resource on adhd and also just life

    I’m not sure how I came across this podcast but it’s been so helpful to me. The episodes on adhd and burnout recovery in particular were really insightful and gave me a lot of leads to follow. I’ve only listened to a few episodes so far but I love how each episode is informative without being stuffy. It’s fun to listen to - probably my favorite adhd podcast yet!

  • Newly diagnosed, felt embraced

    I’m just getting started but I’m so glad I didn’t miss out on this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

    “ADHD and” is awesome but goes too fast for me to keep up. I have to constantly pause and go back 15 seconds to relisten. Given this is for people with slow processing, I would like it to be designed for us to digest. The content is so good it’s worth the frustration.

Is “ring of fire” ADHD real? | Hyperfocus
Q: Why is Ring of Fire considered problematic in ADHD discussions, and what are the risks for patients who pursue it?
Ring of Fire is not recognized in DSM or evidence-based guidelines; pursuing it can delay proper diagnosis and treatment, lead to unnecessary costs, expose patients to unproven interventions, and potentially worsen outcomes when comorbid conditions are not adequately treated.
Is “ring of fire” ADHD real? | Hyperfocus
Q: How can clinicians guard against relying on unproven diagnostic tools like SPEC scans when evaluating ADHD and comorbid conditions?
Clinicians should rely on evidence-based practices, use validated diagnostic criteria (DSM), consider comorbidity management, and avoid linking diagnoses to non-validated imaging results or marketing claims. They should also disclose any financial interests that could influence recommendations and pursue randomized, controlled studies when possible.
