#98 - Dr. Ned Hallowell - How To See the Pattern of ADHD

Scarlett Lewis’ podcast guest is Dr. Ned Hallowell, a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist and world authority on ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). Scarlett and Dr. Hallowell discuss what ADHD is and how to make an ADHD diagnosis. Dr. Hallowell believes in treating this condition with a holistic, effective, and practical treatment plan that will reduce challenges and bring out the best in those diagnosed with ADHD instead of using medication. Scarlett and Dr. Hallowell discuss the pattern that fits the model of ADHD and how to make and understand the diagnosis. Dr. Hallowell explains how a big portion of the prison population, the unemployed, and the addiction population has undiagnosed ADHD and the importance of choosing love with these individuals. 

Dr. Hallowell is a graduate of Harvard College and Tulane Medical School, and was a Harvard Medical School faculty member for 21 years. He is the Founder of The Hallowell ADHD Centers in Boston MetroWest, New York City, San Francisco, Palo Alto and Seattle. He has spent the past four decades helping thousands of adults and children live happy and productive lives through his strength-based approach to neurodiversity, and has ADHD and dyslexia himself.
