ADHD is a Pain
CONTENT WARNING: The second half of this episode contains open and honest conversations about self-harm. If you're not in a place to hear that content, please feel free to leave after the ad break.
In this episode, Cate and Erik sit down to discuss the nuances of experience pain with ADHD- chronic, injury and self-inflicted. They talk about the effect of pain on ADHD and how ADHD's common manifestations (executive dysfunction, time perception, dopamine deficiency, lack of stimulus) can lead to a very different relationship with pain.
DID YOU KNOW?
Nearly three-quarters of adults with ADHD reported experiencing common, painful conditions such as headaches, back pain, and joint pain. Another study published in the Journal of Pain Research found that ADHD was more prevalent in patients with chronic pain. Additionally, a study published in PLOS One found that children and adolescents with chronic pain were more likely to have neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD.

Customer Reviews
Genuinely Get It
As someone with ADHD, it’s hard to put into words what feels so normal. The hosts are able to creatively describe their experiences, thoughts and feelings in a way that helps me feel understood, sometimes too understood.
So precise and helpful!!
Love this podcast, Catie and Erik are great at explaining the experience of ADHD in ways that people who dont have it can start to get it. It has been so helpful to help my partner understand the cosmic storm of my brain xD. Thank you guys!!!!
Great podcast…a suggestion…
Would love if y’all delved into Adhd and the world of meds (stimulants and otherwise). Would be good if you brought in a guest too because it would nice to hear a few different experiences. I find that in social media, people will talk about how adhd affects their lives and day to day activities, but it’s never clear if they are operating w/ or w/o medication. For example, “superpower” of hyperfocus. Yes I hyperfocus for sure… but it’s more of a thing I do on my stimulant. If i haven’t taken my adderall , it’s. hard for me to have interest or focus on anything at all. So I’m always curious when people talk about hyperfocus if they are on meds or not. But they never say.
Ok that’s it! Thanks for the show and support!
