Summary

Today’s question for the Kwik Brain community is how do you know if you have ADD, and what can you do about it?

Dr. Amen’s book Healing ADD has sold half a million copies and helped countless people. Dr. Amen and his wife Tana—who is also a bestselling author and lives with ADD—join us today to help us understand where to start when we think someone we love might have ADD.

In this conversation, we’ll define ADD, bust some common myths about ADD, and explain how the disorder can play out in everyday life. We’ll give you some practical resources you can use to help a loved one with ADD, and some ideas for steps you can take towards healing.
