She has been a psychiatrist for 25 years.

She's the author of the book, Why Am I So Anxious?

And we had just a great conversation of what you can do if you're dealing with these symptoms, what you can do if you don't know whether or not you're dealing with ADHD.

She talks about something called body doubling.

If you don't know what that is, she's going to explain all of it.

And what I really love is she helped me understand exactly what some of the other signs were to figure out whether or not it's ADHD or something else you're dealing with.

So let's jump into the conversation.

Dr. Marks, it's so nice to have you here.

I'm happy you have me here.

Yeah, this is great.

I have so many questions.

First of all, personal questions, but I'm going to make sure they apply to everybody.

Okay.

I found you on YouTube, which I'm sure a lot of people tell you, scrolling one night and talking about so many different topics, in particular ADHD was the big one for me at the time.

I will just tell you my own personal story.

I had gone to a doctor, a therapist, and I said, you know, I think you might have ADHD, but you need to go and take a, like a, you know, actually do a form and go through all of the process.

And I totally like, it skipped my mind to do it and I never wound up doing it.

So I'm like, that must be something going on with my life.

But that's my own personal, like what has happened to me.

I am 55 years old.
