We don’t outgrow ADHD, we simply change with it. Join hosts Jami and Justin as we explore the intersection of ADHD and seniors.

Episode 5: Hacks from a Psychologist

Jami speaks with Dr. Joel Lazar, a licensed psychologist with ADHD, to discuss practical tips for managing ADHD as an adult. Dr. Lazar shares his personal experience with ADHD, how it impacts his life and work, and offers useful strategies for emotional regulation, organization, and overcoming procrastination. He also highlights the importance of self-compassion, especially for older adults discovering their ADHD later in life. The conversation covers how ADHD can manifest in different ways throughout life and how common misconceptions about ADHD, especially in seniors, can lead to misdiagnosis. They also discuss how ADHD was misunderstood in past generations and the importance of positive reinforcement, structure, and creating manageable routines.
