Ask Dr B about Binge Eating & Other Addictions Occurring with ADHD & EFD - 054
Episode description
Hey ADDers! Do you struggle with any addictions or have you in the past? Addictions are a BIG deal for those of us with ADHD and EF deficits for so many different reasons. In fact, the stats on frequency are about twice that of those adults without ADHD or EF deficits, if these issues aren't being fully addressed. In this episode, I talk about:
- The nucleus accumbens (pleasure center of the brain)
- How to increase motivation by increasing dopamine rewards
- Binge eating and relationship to ADHD as well as purpose it is serving
- Promoting a part of yourself from within
- The importance of celebrating your WINS
Update: I am re-branding my show name to "Living Beyond ADHD," to more accurately reflect the content I actually talk about. Watch for new artwork and name soon.
