ADHD and Addiction: What You Need to Know

ADHD is not so much a deficit of attention, but more of a challenge of self-regulation. This is why ADHD and addictive behaviors are highly correlated. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) interviews Todd L. Love, PsyD (https://doctoddlove.com),  about the basics in understanding ADHD and addiction. They discuss chemical addictions, behavioral dependencies, “just saying no,” and harm reduction. If you have ADHD, you likely have some type of addictive behavior, which needs to be managed. If this speaks to you, this is a show you won't want to miss.
