What is ADHD and what can we learn from it?

Small tasks feel overwhelming. Thoughts race. Impulsivity, focus and self-

regulation are constant challenges

These are some traits of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

There’s a lot of “buzz” about the condition these days. And it’s not just in

kids like we used to think.

But what really is ADHD? Do you have it? Do your kids? How do you

know?

If so, what can you actually do about it? Is ADHD even a 'real' thing, or just

an excuse for disorganization and laziness?

Our next Creative Frequencies conversation delves into these questions

and more. Join us at Sound Union in Redwood City (and on LinkedIn Live)

on Monday Dec 9, 5-8pm.

We will have a pioneer in understanding and treating ADHD, Dr. Aaron

Winkler, M.D., founder and former director of the Adult ADHD Clinic at

Stanford University. In his extensive clinical work with hundreds of patients,

Dr. Winkler has created innovative tools for understanding, diagnosing, and

treating ADHD in adults. He has presented his findings with colleagues

from Stanford and Harvard at major international conferences. As a

member of the APSARD National Taskforce, he is contributing to the

development of the first national guidelines for ADHD clinical care for

adults. Currently, Dr. Winkler practices privately in Palo Alto.

We'll discuss his research, the complex overlap between ADHD and other

things like anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma, and talk about

how discovering the deep complexity of ADHD can profoundly simplify

treatment for those who are struggling.

Questions and ideas from the audience will be encouraged. We will stream

live on LinkedIn and Youtube. See you there.

Cost: $20 and includes a short presentation and Q&A, networking, snacks
