Bite Size: ADHD It's Not Laziness, It's Low Dopamine | Lindy Hadges
About this episode
Lindy Hadges discusses the misconceptions surrounding ADHD and the impact of low dopamine on individuals with the condition.
Since the 1700s we have described this condition in the language of character. Lazy. Undisciplined. Careless. As recently as 2023, an Australian parliamentary inquiry heard the same words still follow people through their lives. Lindy Hadges explains why a condition that sits in the brain attracts shame that an identical shortfall in the pancreas never would, and what happens the moment someone stops believing the story they were told about themselves.
