4: Dr. Stephanie Rooney - Child & Family Psychologist ADHD Rules The World

Season 1: Episode 4
In episode 4, Tera B. interviews child and family psychologist Dr. Stephanie Rooney.
They discuss how ADHD children and teens are struggling in the pandemic and why.
How and why neurodiverse traits are exacerbated during this extraordinarily challenging time.
ADHD and its comorbidities.
And what Dr. Stephanie considers “the perfect storm” of the pandemic.
They talk about the ADHD stigma, maybe why some parents are not ready to hear the diagnosis for their child, and the importance of planting seeds for hesitant parents.  While also touching on awareness of what social re-entry back into “life” might feel like.
Stephanie also gives us a glimpse of what’s been universally helpful for the neurodiverse throughout the pandemic, while also dropping some beautifully thoughtful gems on expectations and resilience; adding a wonderfully potent definition of resilience for worried parents.
A truly enlightening conversation about understanding that the collective ‘we’ are in a mental health crisis.  Let the healing begin here with Dr. Stephanie Rooney.
Thanks for listening and sharing!
