Research Recap: From Brain Structure to Daily Difficulties, ADHD Impacts It All!

Hi and welcome back to the ADHD Skills Lab!

Sarah here, your Producer, inviting you to listen to the latest Research Recap! Skye and I delve into neuroscience and medical research to explain how ADHD brains differ and how this can impact other areas of our lives—I'm looking at you, migraines!

We also dig into a study on the efficacy of telehealth during COVID lockdowns, ultimately discussing the importance of tailoring ADHD and mental health supports to fully support your life. Whether you're a new-parent or someone with chronic conditions, we discuss solutions that accommodate diverse life situations.

Settle in and enjoy the episode!

As always, if you have comments about the episode or our podcast, you can reach me at @theadhdskillslabpodcast on IG, now officially managed by me!

Thanks for being here. Until next time,
Sarah (Podcast Producer)
