ADD: The Neurotransmitters You Need to Meet
Once upon a time, ADD coach Linda Roggli (aka the ADDiva) had trouble remembering the names and interaction of those pesky ADHD neurotransmitters, which made it difficult to explain brain wiring to her clients. So she set out to simplify this exceedingly complex topic and voila! She made friends with three amazing neurotransmitter stand-ins: Nora Penne Effrin (aka norepinephrine), Sarah Tonin (aka serotonin), and Dope A. Mean (aka dopamine). These three low-voltage characters made life much easier for both Linda and her clients, and they might help you understand (and pronounce) these bad boys, too. In this episode of ATR, Jeff Copper interviews Linda about her new neurotransmitter friends and how they impact ADHD. So if you need a crash course (or a lighthearted refresher) in ADHD neurotransmitter action, this show is for you!
