Description

Think ADHD is just a childhood issue? Think again. In this revealing episode, Amen Clinics psychiatrist Dr. Steven Storage takes the mic to explore how ADHD often shows up for the first time in college, young adulthood, or even midlife. You'll learn the surprising science behind why symptoms can emerge after mental health struggles, mild head injuries, or hormonal shifts like perimenopause. Dr. Storage also breaks down the genetic component of ADHD—and why having a parent or sibling with it doesn't mean you're doomed to struggle too. If you've ever asked, "Do I actually have ADHD?"—this episode could change everything. Plus, get real-world strategies for screen use, dopamine balance, and raising resilient kids in a hyper-digital world.
