Gilly KahnGUEST
Because yes, there's this discomfort with not knowing, but that's because I cannot wait to get this fucking package.
Gilly KahnGUEST
Because, you know, that's going to feel really, really good, you know? And it's, I think Russ Barkley uses this term, but we are field dependent.
Gilly KahnGUEST
And so we... are dependent on our environments, getting reward, feedback from our environment.
Gilly KahnGUEST
And I think that's a big part in rejection sensitivity, too.
Tracy OtsukaHOST
What was happening when she actually could? That's a much more interesting question.
Tracy OtsukaHOST
And this is where the work of Dr. Russell Barkley gets really interesting.
Tracy OtsukaHOST
So Barkley is a retired clinical psychologist and one of the best-known ADHD researchers in the world.
Tracy OtsukaHOST
And if you're listening to me for a while, you know that Barkley and I don't exactly come from the same school of thought.
Michael MilobskyGUEST
And what we're understanding is that ADHD is not...
Michael MilobskyGUEST
And once again, I'm going to credit Russell Barkley, who's an amazing PhD psychologist, has helped me evolve my understanding of ADHD.
Michael MilobskyGUEST
ADHD is not... a disorder.
Michael MilobskyGUEST
It's an operating system.
Lo Bosworth-NatoliHOST
Yeah.
Michael MilobskyGUEST
So I always tell people, and I borrowed, this is not mine, Dr. Russell Barkley has been an amazing, he's, he's one of the pre-eminent child psychology people.
Michael MilobskyGUEST
He's a Stanford guy, and he is very fond of saying, and I am very fond of saying, saying, "You need to be a shepherd and not an engineer."
Lo Bosworth-NatoliHOST
I like that.
Renee AllenHOST
Maybe it's in there 'cause it's quite, quite more com-- it's way more comprehensive the more I've been reading it.
Renee AllenHOST
But I've seen that on websites and experts like Russell Barkley or these people who write books.
Renee AllenHOST
And for me, I'm like, I, I'm learning as I go, and I'm learning more how ADHD is a part of me.
Renee AllenHOST
But I feel like I've always been self-aware, and maybe if...
24 MINS LATER
Renee AllenHOST
Why, why, why do we have some barriers with getting rid of things, of holding onto things if you hold onto things, or just being able to, to take care of it? And one of the things, so there's this, there's this information out.
Renee AllenHOST
Some, some experts suggest...
Renee AllenHOST
Dr. Russell Barkley is one of the leading experts on ADHD, and he's written some books on it, and I have one of them.
Renee AllenHOST
But he's, um, he likes to talk about the, the working memory problem that we have without memories being stored- That we use other things to store those memories for us, and even if we can't come up with them on our own, that when we see those items, those memories will, will come back to us.
Dave DelaneyHOST
However, if you do have ADHD, and I think this is a lot of how, uh, in my, my own understanding is that how a lot of women were missed is they were treated for anxiety or depression maybe in a postpartum sort of situation, and treated for the anxiety, never knowing that root cause, if you will.
Dave DelaneyHOST
And, and this is my understanding from Russell Barkley talking about that, and, and this is a quote I use a lot because it's from him, um, but it's that with undiagnosed and untreated ADHD, your life expectancy can be up to 13 years less.
Dave DelaneyHOST
However, with treatment and understanding and self-awareness-
Stephen FaraoneGUEST
Oh, yeah
DaveAUDIENCE
Children labeled with ADHD behave and attend quite well when they're involved in subjects and activities that interest them and have a passionate, motivating teacher.
DaveAUDIENCE
And I recommend Russell Barkley points out in his book, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, a handbook for diagnosis and treatment, the prevalence of ADHD hinges on how one chooses to define ADHD, the population studied, the geographical locale, the survey, and the degree of agreement required among parents, teachers, and professionals.
DaveAUDIENCE
For example, in one study in England,
Doug BletcherGUEST
only two children
StephanieHOST
Prue's hyper-focus on the house's history wasn't random either.
StephanieHOST
Dr. Russell Barkley.
StephanieHOST
Still no spooky wordplay here.
StephanieHOST
His work on ADHD as fundamentally a time blindness condition is the piece most people get wrong.
William CurbHOST
Yeah, I really...
William CurbHOST
Russell Barkley's model of, like, ADHD being, like, self-regulation, and I'm just like, "Oh yeah, that makes total sense." If I can't relate, like, where I'm focusing my attention on, I can't regulate how my emotions are responding to things, and I'm...
William CurbHOST
have trouble just understanding how I'm feeling.
William CurbHOST
My, like, interoception's not great.
Chalene JohnsonHOST
It's that for many of us, our brains have very unreliable internal clock.
Chalene JohnsonHOST
This is something Dr. Russell Barkley has spent decades studying.
Chalene JohnsonHOST
He studies executive functioning and his work describes ADHD as more than a problem of just like paying attention.
Chalene JohnsonHOST
In fact, he says one of the biggest challenges for those with ADHD is the organization of time.
