While most of the focus on ADHD is placed on children, there is a growing number of people living with it as adults including many who have had a first-time diagnosis in adulthood. Does ADHD affect your cognition or cognitive processes in adulthood? Does an ADHD diagnosis in childhood or adulthood increase your risk for dementia?

Without adequate help and support, the burdensome journey to seek care can be the cause of unintended complications.   If you’ve been a patient or a caregiver, this may sound all too familiar to you.  In this episode, host Brian Browne and cohost Lizzy Rasmussen are joined by Samantha Whitman an expert in patient burden/obstacles.  Join us as we discuss the unintended consequences for patients and caregivers as they navigate through a less than friendly system.
