ADHD and Dopamine
I’ve long been curious about the ADHD and dopamine connection. Dopamine has been getting a ton of press lately.

Join Me at the 2019 ADHD Conference
You probably think I’m joking but I’m not, YOU should join me the 2019 ADHD Conference. I wrote about my first Conference experience in 2017. I had so much fun I’ve gone back each year since. This year’s Annual International Conference on ADHD will be taking place November 7-9th in Philadelphia, PA. If you have […]
