The ADHD Rebrand: Neuroscience, Masking, and Late Diagnosis

In this episode, Herman and Corn dismantle the "hyperactive kid" stereotype to reveal the complex reality of adult ADHD, a condition affecting millions who often go undiagnosed until mid-life. They dive deep into the technical divide between psychiatric and neurological diagnostic methods, explaining how everything from EEG theta-beta ratios to dopamine transport systems shapes the lived experience of executive dysfunction. Whether you’re curious about the "masking" strategies used by high-achievers or the specific reasons why women are often diagnosed decades later than men, this discussion offers a profound look at how the modern world finally forces the ADHD brain to reveal itself.
