What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You have been told it is anxiety. Or depression. Or just being a mom. And the answer still does not fit.

Dr. Aaron Dodini is a licensed clinical psychologist behind Axon ADHD. In week two of our October series, he helps sort out what is ADHD, what is not, and what to do when it is more than one thing.

In this episode:

  • The quick win: a few burpees or jumping jacks right before a task you keep avoiding.
  • Why anxiety and depression show up so often alongside ADHD, and how unpredictable days can create anxiety on their own.
  • How movement during a 20 minute test can tell the two apart: anxious movement soothes, ADHD movement stimulates.
  • Why one family can have very different presentations, from the child who holds it all in to the one climbing the flagpole.
  • Why objective data can replace second guessing.
  • Why community matters, and why ADHD can be so isolating.

Dr. Dodini's message to ADHD moms: you do not have to trust just your own intuition, and you do not have to do this alone.
