With ADHD. voice-verified

And not surprisingly, uh that that aspect of it has been neglected and uh under investigated. voice-verified

Um so we're gonna get into that. voice-verified

But we also wanted to address this whole subject because there's been some inflammatory suggestions on a TV show that ADHD is a myth, that it's made up, it's a social construct, or and and it's a new condition. voice-verified

And so to talk over all this stuff, we're joined by Katja V Rubia. voice-verified

She's a voice-verified

Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at King's College London, Caroline Williams, uh author and science writer who has ADHD, and Alexandra Thompson, Medical Editor here at New Scientist. voice-verified

Uh t take us through some of the points then. voice-verified

But let's be clear that it's really d it's actually dangerous as well to do this. voice-verified

Oh well, I was gonna say that will have to impact how you how you treat it, according to what period in the in the cycle you're in. voice-verified

under reported, isn't it? voice-verified
