That Harry & Gabor Thing - Episode 63
It's a movie-length episode this week as Robbie & Jordan get deep in the weeds on Dr. Gabor Maté's live public ADHD diagnosis of Prince Harry, ADDitude Magazine's lengthy response, and Maté's follow-up op-ed from last week's Toronto Star.
We also talk about the self-help industrial complex, public figures with cults of personality, and why you should never worry about being a hypocrite.
CORRECTIONS:
-Jordan gets a bunch of facts about Rush wrong at the 14 minute mark but who cares? Rush sucks.
-Around 59:20 Jordan says "exacerbate the symptoms" when he meant the opposite, "mitigate."

ADHD & POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) - Episode 62
This week Robbie and Jordan chat about POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Have you ever "stood up too fast" and felt faint or dizzy, with fuzzy vision and a rapid pulse? POTS correlates with ADHD, Autism and other neurodivergences, but the condition isn't widely known and symptoms overlap with many other conditions. Fortunately, the tests are simple, and lifestyle changes like upping your water and sodium intake can resolve symptoms for some people.
CORRECTIONS: a) The test for POTS involves measuring heart rate after standing, not blood pressure as Jordan said. b) Robbie refers to a hormone in dental freezing compound; this is epinephrine, not norepinephrine.
Robbie refers to an episode of On Being featuring Amanda Ripley and Jordan mentions an episode of The ADHD Adults on ADHD & eating disorders. You can also check out HSIHADHD 14 where we discuss our own struggles with body image and eating disorders.
