Our latest episode of Thriving With ADHD focuses on something many adults need at some point in their journey: going back to basics.
Understanding ADHD clearly can reduce stigma, improve treatment outcomes, and help people feel less alone in their experience. In this episode, Nada Pupovac is joined by Whitney Kost, PA-C, physician assistant at Animo Sano Psychiatry, who works closely with patients managing ADHD and related mental health concerns.
Together, they explore foundational topics including:
- What ADHD actually is and how it’s diagnosed
- The difference between ADD and ADHD terminology
- The three ADHD presentation types
- How ADHD overlaps with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders
- Common real-life struggles adults report
- What’s happening in the ADHD brain neurologically
- Medication, therapy, coaching, and lifestyle treatment approaches
- Common myths that still surround ADHD
One key takeaway from the conversation is that an ADHD diagnosis isn’t a label meant to limit you — it’s a tool that helps guide effective support, improve functioning, and ultimately enhance quality of life.
If you’re newly diagnosed, questioning whether ADHD may be part of your experience, or simply looking to better understand how ADHD works, this episode offers accessible, compassionate education grounded in clinical expertise.
