Wellness With Shelly 14 | Debunking ADHD Myths With Heather DeAngelis

In the fourteenth episode of Wellness with Shelly, host Shelly interviews Heather DeAngelis, an ADHD therapist who shares her personal journey of being diagnosed later in life while building her professional website. Heather explains that ADHD is not a "deficit" of attention but rather a neurobiological regulation disorder of the self and the central nervous system. They discuss the "masking" strategies successful women often use, the frequent misdiagnosis of ADHD as anxiety or depression, and the powerful role of dopamine, particularly the addictive nature of smartphone usage for the ADHD brain.
