0:00.0	ADHD is a disorder regulation where you have features of things like impulsivity, hyperfocus,
0:06.3	sensitivity. In OCD, you have a situation of obsession with something that relates to your health,
0:12.5	morality, thought process, time, and you are stuck on this thing. Dr. Alex George is an ADHD

1:14.9	and you have always been enough.
1:16.5	A quick trigger warning before we start.
1:18.2	References to suicide are made from the beginning.
1:23.3	Dr. Alex George, welcome back.
1:24.9	Thank you. Thanks for having me.
1:26.5	You've had some interesting news recently, which in many ways might be a warning to our viewers and listeners.
