  • Understanding ADHD: ADHD is not a monolithic condition; it can manifest differently in individuals, particularly between males and females, and often roots in hemispherical brain imbalances.

  • Impact of Environmental Factors: Increased diagnoses of ADHD and autism can be linked to various modifiable environmental factors, including sedentary lifestyles and age of parents.

  • Right Brain Dominance and RSD: The episode discusses Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria as a result of right-brain dominance, emphasizing the need for strategies that balance brain activity.
