In this episode of Obsessed or Not Interested, we are continuing with the hyper focused series on ADD/ADHD.

This episode is where I share my personal journey with ADHD, talking about the coping mechanisms and 10 tips that will help you navigate daily struggles. I emphasize the importance of understanding ADHD as a different brain function, not a flaw.

I introduce practical strategies like using a hyper-focused journal, setting reminders, and creating structured routines. My doctor from the Amen Clinic in Chicago provides insights into my brain scan results and treatment plan. I also highlight the significance of sleep and offer tips for maintaining focus and organization, making this episode a valuable resource for anyone managing ADHD.

In this episode of a series I am doing on ADD & ADHD, I explore the seven different types of ADHD, based on information from the Amen Clinic, where I received my brain scan. I discuss my personal experiences and the comprehensive approach used by the Amen Clinic, which includes a SPEC scan to look directly at the brain.

I detail the symptoms and treatment protocols for each type of ADD: Classic, Inattentive, Over-focused, Temporal Lobe, Limbic, Ring of Fire, and Anxious ADD. Treatments range from medications like Ritalin and Adderall for some types to dietary supplements, exercise, and lifestyle changes for others. I also share audio from my diagnostic appointment, emphasizing the importance of identifying the correct type of ADD for effective treatment.
