ADHD, Weight, and Eating Disorders

Join us as host, Jeff Copper, interviews Dr. Roberto Olivardia, instructor in the Department of Psychology at Harvard Medical School, on the topic of ADHD, weight gain, and eating disorders.  Listen in as Dr. Olivardia reviews the research explaining why those with ADHD are more prone to weight issues, obesity, and eating disorders, such as bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.  They also talk about the many ADHD traits and symptoms, like sleep deprivation, impulsivity, and distractibility, that make it more challenging for those with ADHD to maintain healthy eating.
