Podcast: ADHD Aha!Published On: Tue Dec 07 2021
Description: College student Chris Lozano seems calm on the outside. But on the inside, he feels “like a volcano.” He has trouble sleeping, sitting still, and stopping his mind from wandering. And often his only relief is going to the gym — to the point of obsession — or riding motorcycles. Hear how Chris came to get diagnosed with ADHD at 26 and why he went back to college to seek a career helping people like himself. Also in this episode: Chris shares how he’s coped with substance abuse and other risky behaviors. To find a transcript for this episode and more resources, visit the episode page at Understood.
