I really needed this
I don’t know how I got signed up for e- mails from you as not being computer literate I could have clicked on something that sent somehow me this place. I am 67 years old and didn’t know I had ADD until I was 50! The only reason then was,I was teaching 7th-12th grade English classes at a Christian school, and one of my 7th grade students mother( who also taught at this school), gave me a paperback book about what her son suffered with and the reason he may be falling asleep due to his ADD medicine. I admit I was a very strict teacher as I knew some of my students had were slow learners and needed to be able to concentrate in order to understand anything I was teaching them. I kept the classroom quiet( unlike other teachers there) and classes were very structured. So when I came to the last page of the ADD book it asked the question: do you know anyone else who has most of the below symptoms. To my SHOCK I checked every single box! I always knew there was something different going on in my mind (like riding a carousel around and around unable to ever get off). So I self diagnosed myself in 1998 with this syndrome I had NEVER heard of. And living in a little coal mining town their doctors had never even heard of Adult ADD. I worked in child protective services after teaching in WV so other than reading that book I had quite a few children clients who saw a psychiatrist or psychologist for ADHD. Life happenings caused me to have to change jobs, and move to two different states ( one after the other). Still in my present state I live in, wasn’t until 20010 that I was able to connect with a doctor who worked with ADD adults. I just had too much on my plate between the realization of my ADD and the actual ability to see that specific doctor. So from 1998-20010 I survived in my chaotic world somehow. I have been taking Focalin XR 30 mg. But will be changing to Mydayis as soon as I can get an appointment( during the coronavirus situation now). I enjoyed your podcast it said April 8 but the email said it would be a live podcast on April 9, at 1:00 EDT. Finally your app, podcasts are giving me a sense of community and understanding I never had before.

There is some potentially good content here, but too much of it is a chore to listen to due to amateurish recording quality. What a shame.

Great content but as others have said the audio is pretty terrible. I’m finding it hard to listen to. Please invest in a decent microphone or find someone to help you get the technical side of recording a podcast figured out.

I love this podcast and look forward to the episodes. My 10 yr old son has ADHD and I've realized since his diagnosis that I have it too--a very common scenario for a parent to figure out their own ADHD in this way. Many of the medical experts interviewed on these podcasts are the most...Read full review »
