I would say those are the two major misconceptions. I mean there's a whole bunch, but the major misconceptions when it comes to adhd.
Ever thought ADHD was just about hyperactivity? Think again. In this eye-opening episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli chats with Nekeshia Hammond, a seasoned expert in the mental health field, to debunk common myths about ADHD, especially in children. Hammond sheds light on the three types of ADHD, explaining that not all kids with ADHD are hyperactive.
Some might struggle with attention but show no signs of impulsiveness, which can often lead to their condition being overlooked, particularly in girls. But that's not all. Hammond stresses the importance of looking at the whole child before jumping to conclusions. Could ADHD symptoms be masking something else like a medical issue, a learning disability, or even emotional stress at home? This episode encourages listeners to consider these possibilities and adopt a more comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment.
If you're a parent, teacher, or anyone involved in a child's life, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won't want to miss.
