The conversation around ADHD has changed dramatically in recent years, with growing recognition of the creativity, curiosity and other strengths often associated with the condition. But has the shift away from stigma gone too far in the other direction? On The Spark, we’ll talk with Dr. Matthew Brams, a psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Cingulate Therapeutics, about the evolving public understanding of ADHD. With more than 35 years of clinical experience and extensive experience in ADHD research and treatment, Dr. Brams will discuss why ADHD can bring both meaningful strengths and significant challenges, the importance of accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment, and what parents, educators, employers and adults with ADHD should understand as the conversation around neurodiversity continues to evolve.
