Holy shit. My ADHD kids psychiatrist recommended this guy on our first session.

She's awful. Huberman should have his lab and degrees audited if he's this ill-informed.

Oof. Let me guess. Did they also recommend Additude magazine? Seems therapists who are less in tune with ADHD science tend to recommend it in my (admittedly limited) experience.

As others have said, you might check into Dr. Russel Barkley and Dr. Stephen Faraone. For actionable tactics and useful reframes from a patient perspective, I really like the "Hacking Your ADHD" podcast.

Hope you can find a better therapist for your kid, and kudos for supporting your kid through their journey of discovery and improvement.

Lol yes, she did. Red flags all over. I've had the same experience with the additude rec being a tell for basically no familiarity with the topic.

Thanks for the info! I have not encountered Dr Faraone but will check them out. None of this is new to us, I've been diagnosed for more than fifteen years, but I try to stay up to date on the literature.
