- Stimulant Abuse? Stimulant Misuse? - Where's the line?
- Mantras for Anxiety
After a 1 minute recap of each video, I’ll be available for questions on these topics and others related to ADHD and the broader field of mental health.
- What Is NOT ADHD?:
A number of conditions, including autism, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance abuse and dementia can mimic some or even all of the symptoms of ADHD. These conditions have different treatments than ADHD, so it is important to know the basics of how mental health professionals try to differentiate these conditions from ADHD.
- Stimulant Abuse? Stimulant Misuse? - Where's the line?:
Critics of the use of stimulant medication for treating ADHD claim very high rates of abuse. But often they are conflating studies that examine addiction and abuse with those highlighting misuse - which is any use that deviates even slightly from prescription instructions.
- Mantras for Anxiety:
Meditation can be useful to those with anxiety or ADHD, but often the condition itself makes it very hard to get into a meditative mental state. Mantras are a quick and simple pathway to enter that meditative state.
