Tune in to learn how to empower yourself with knowledge and explore effective treatment options to regain mental clarity and well-being!

Quotes

  • "A stimulant can help some women, but for others, it can make anxiety worse—getting the right diagnosis is critical." - Dr. Elizabeth Cox
  • "Having a little bit of poor recall is different than a diagnosis of attention deficit disorder." - Dr. Elizabeth Cox
  • "My patient told me, ‘My phone is robbing me from investing in myself, my family, and my community,’ and that really stuck with me." - Dr. Polly Watson
