Unlocking ADHD: Thomas Brown, PhD, on Executive Functions and Emotional Balance

The central mystery of ADHD is that of the thousands of people I've seen, every single one of them has a few specific activities in which they have absolutely no difficulty in exercising those executive functions which often they have a lot of trouble with in most other things they do.
ADHD is more than just a label—it's a complex puzzle that affects millions. In this episode of 'ADHD Focus', Dr. David Pomeroy sits down with Dr. Thomas Brown, a leading expert in the field, to shed light on what he calls the 'central mystery' of ADHD. Dr. Brown, who has spent over 40 years listening to and learning from his patients, brings a wealth of knowledge and empathy to the discussion.
His insights into executive functions reveal how they influence emotional reactivity and unpredictability in people with ADHD. Through patient stories from his book 'Smart but Stuck', Dr. Brown illustrates the daily challenges and triumphs faced by those with ADHD. This episode isn't just about understanding ADHD; it's about finding practical ways to manage frustration and emotions to lead a happier, more productive life. Dr.
Brown also touches on the often-overlooked connection between ADHD and addiction, offering valuable perspectives for anyone affected by both conditions. Whether you're living with ADHD, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the latest research, this conversation is packed with insights and real-life applications.
