Not on the List is a podcast about executive function: what gets in the way of doing things, what support exists, and how people find their way to it. Executive function is what gets things started and finished. When it isn't working, the problem isn't motivation. It's initiation, working memory, task switching, time perception, and how much capacity you have on a given day. Each episode is a conversation with a clinician about their work and their own experience. Host Sheela Ivlev is a neurodivergent occupational therapist who works with adults on executive function and daily life. Episodes are 30 minutes or less, so listening is doable. For those of us with never-ending lists. More at www.todoish.app

    Why executive dysfunction isn't always ADHD with Dr. Shayla Buckler, psychiatric nurse practitioner

    This episode briefly discusses suicide and self-harm. Executive dysfunction isn't always ADHD, and "try harder" is rarely the answer. Not on the List is about executive function: what gets in the way of doing things, and how people find support. This first episode starts where most people start, which is not knowing who to ask. Most people know two routes to mental health care: a psychiatrist or a therapist. There's a third that rarely comes up. A psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner can assess, diagnose, treat, and prescribe. Dr. Shayla Buckler is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, an assistant clinical professor, and the owner of The Calming Mind Psychiatry Group in Mansfield, Texas. When someone comes to her saying they can't get anything done, she doesn't just start with an ADHD screening. She explains what she looks at first, what an assessment actually involves, and how to find a provider who fits. She is licensed in the states of TX, AR, MI, IL, MN, TN, and MA. We cover: What a psychiatric nurse practitioner is, and how the role differs from a psychiatrist, therapist, or primary care doctorWhat gets ruled out before ADHDWhy a whole-person assessment matters more than a single screening toolWhat to expect when receiving care from a psychiatric nurse practitionerHow to find a provider and how to filter for identity and affirming careWhy supplements need medical oversight even though they aren't prescriptions Dr. Buckler also shares what led her into psychiatric care, and her closing message: it's okay not to be okay, but it's not okay not to get the help you need.
