ADHD Journey - ADHD Therapist Andrew Robinson on ADHD, Anxiety and Depression

ADHD Journey - ADHD Therapist Andrew Robinson on ADHD, Anxiety and Depression

Andrew Robinson is an ADHD therapist located in Missouri and very kindly agreed to come on the podcast to share his vast knowledge and personal experiences as an ADHDer. Although he wasn’t late diagnosed, early diagnosis of ADHD at age 6 still brought about its own challenges as you’ll find out in this episode.

We talk about:

  • How Andrew displayed the ‘classic’ symptoms of ADHD as a young child and got his diagnosis at age 6
  • His early memories of medication and the support he received in his 504 plan (a plan in the US used in both school and work to support those with ADHD)
  • The stereotyping and stigma of having ADHD in the 90s and how this affected his mental health with a strong sense of ‘being different’
  • How depression and anxiety can be symptoms of unmanaged ADHD
  • Oppositional demand avoidance and how it relates to ADHD and why the term might be unhelpful
  • Antidepressants as a tool for managing emotional dysregulation in ADHD
  • How the DSM isn’t living up to the modern lived experiences of people today
  • Misinformation about ADHD online
  • How important accommodations are for ADHD and why we should at least try them
  • Dealing with rejection sensitivity as an online ADHD creator
  • Andrew’s journey into psychology after falling in love with it after years of going through therapy
  • Comparisons of CPTSD and ADHD
  • What Andrew loves about his ADHD
