Transcript

In this episode, Dr. Fu rejoins us as we take a deep dive into the world of ADHD—beyond the usual headlines and social media buzz. We’ll talk about how ADHD is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and even overhyped. Join us as we explore why so many people are getting diagnosed, the real role of medication, and why it's dangerous to use 1 thing to explain behavior. We’ll also dig into how cultural trends and social media are shaping our views on ADHD, and why it’s essential to see the whole picture when it comes to mental health.
