We sit down with psychiatrist Morgan Hardy to explore the complex rise in adult ADHD diagnoses. Morgan shares insights on the growing demand for ADHD evaluations, the impact of social and environmental factors, and the fine line between appropriate treatment and overdiagnosis. We delve into the risks and rewards of stimulant medication, the challenges of making accurate ADHD diagnoses, and the potential influence of today’s tech-driven world on attention spans.
Morgan Hardy is a psychiatrist.
He discusses the KevinMD article, "Is the surge in adult ADHD diagnoses helping or harming patients?"
