Refocused, A Podcast All About ADHD

Did you know that a problem accurately processing sound is often mistaken for an attention problem? What Is the Relationship Between ADHD and Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)? Who diagnoses APD? Is APD genetic? For those who may not be familiar with APD, of all the processing disorders, this one is most often missed or misdiagnosed. Dr. Melissa Karp, Au.D., and Lindsay discuss how hearing and processing sounds are interconnected and the different ways in which APD and ADHD can manifest. Melissa Karp is a board-certified audiologist with special expertise in tinnitus treatment, auditory processing disorder (APD) evaluation, hearing aid fitting, and aural rehabilitation.

Is Object Permanence a symptom of ADHD? Are Object Permanence and "Out of sight, out of mind" the same thing? Did you know that Object Permanence is not a recognized medical condition or a symptom of ADHD? What does Donald Trump have to do with any of this? These questions, and more, are answered in this episode with Dr. John Kruse: Neuroscientist, Psychiatrist, and Author. We'll be discussing ADHD and object permanence versus object constancy, and how these concepts affect those with ADHD. Dr. Kruse provides insights and tips on how to manage the struggles associated with out of sight, out of mind, and maintaining emotional connections with people. Dr. John Kruse is a psychiatrist that has specialized in working with adults with ADHD for almost 30 years. In 2022 the American Psychiatric Association honored him as a Distinguished Life Fellow.

Hey guys! It's Lindsay. I'm back in Minnesota and gearing up to start treatment for this lil babe of an autoimmune disorder but I wanted to make sure I sat down for a little post-Austin catch-up to catch you all up on what's been happening over the last couple of months. That includes: the back story on how I found myself on stage moderating a panel at SXSW last week, what it was the traveling with all of the 'ish I've been dealing with and how I was able to get myself out of the Post-Show Pit of Perfectionist Doom -- thanks to a well-timed reminder from a dear friend (you know who you are). And yes, the title is an homage to Simple Plan because I have and will always be a sucker for sad music. Is that an ADHD thing?
