Welcome to the Attention Deficit Disorder Expert Podcast Series by Attitude magazine.

Hey everyone, welcome. I'm

I'm Susan Hoffman I'm here for Attitude magazine and you're listening to

Attitudes ADHD expert broadcasts. One of the most difficult part of living with ADHD can be the emotional

intensity, managing emotions and living with the ups and downs of the emotional life of ADHD.

So today we're really happy to welcome back Dr. William Dodson, who will be talking about the extreme

sensitivity to criticism and judgment that seems to exist

in people diagnosed with this disorder. In fact, as Dr. Dawson will discuss, emotional

dysregulation is increasingly considered a primary feature of ADHD

pretty much at all stages of the life cycle and it may even be unique to people with

ADHD in its intensity so he'll be talking about the treatments for emotional

dysregulation including behavior therapy and medication both.

Dr. Dodson is a board certified adult psychiatrist who's been specializing in adults with

a PhD for the last 25 years. He was named a Life Fellow of the American

Psychiatric Association in recognition of his clinical contributions to the

field and he is also the recipient of the Max

Life Award for Distinguished Services to People with Disabilities.

He has a consultative practice in Greenwood Village, Colorado and he's I'm very proud to say, a member of Attitudes

ADHD Specialist Panel.

So Dr. Dotson, thank you as always so much for joining us today

and for all that you've done for to make ADHD understood out there in among the

adults who are suffering from it. We very much appreciate your time.
