In this first episode of a two-part series, the podcast explores the history and neurological aspects of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The hosts trace the evolution of ADHD from its early descriptions to today’s diagnostic criteria, emphasizing the roles of dopamine and norepinephrine and their effects on executive functions like working memory, impulse control, and task switching. They also discuss the challenges posed by rejection-sensitive dysphoria (RSD), a common co-occurring condition, while highlighting the potential "superpowers" of ADHD, such as hyperfocus and unique perspectives.
