RELEASE DATE: 3/25/2024

In this episode: Jen talks about how the DSM (The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) is failing people with ADHD because the diagnosis criteria are incomplete. The DSM-5 overemphasizes mythologized symptoms and doesn’t list emotional regulation issues that are at the core of executive dysfunction. This can prevent people with ADHD from being diagnosed and getting the treatment that they need to function in a neurotypical world.
