Episode notes

Comedian David Cross was diagnosed with ADD in his 20s. He stopped taking Adderall and quit smoking 10 years later. Now he runs a writer's room, works on a new show for Netflix. The comedian believes the rise in ADHD diagnoses is partly due to drug industry marketing.

Ever since he was diagnosed as a kid, Adam has wondered if ADHD is a serious psychological condition, or a false diagnosis pushed by an overzealous industry. This week Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley is on the show to help answer these questions.
