#160 The Current State of ADHD | Signs, Steps and Treatment for Your Family with NYU Professor Dr. Yamalis Diaz
My guest today is a clinical assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine and a licensed clinical psychologist: Dr. Yamalis Diaz.
Dr. Diaz specializes in ADHD and focuses on ways to put systems in place to support people with the diagnosis. What is happening that is different in the ADHD brain in structure and function? Dr. Diaz gives us a deeper understanding of what that child or adult is navigating and how we can help them. What have they discovered in the research in the last 10 years? How has our environment and technology have exacerbated the situation? She shares the meaningful impact of certain lifestyle habits and changes that can be made to make getting out of the house or the learning environment much easier. Like all situations that have unique challenges she gives us the wonderful reminder that when directed correctly this is a super power. Also if you are interested in more information on ADHD I would recommend the movie 'The Disruptors' directed by Stephanie Soechtig.
Enjoy
