In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) interviews Todd L. Love, PsyD (https://doctoddlove.com),  about the basics in understanding ADHD and addiction. They discuss chemical addictions, behavioral dependencies, “just saying no,” and harm reduction. If you have ADHD, you likely have some type of addictive behavior, which needs to be managed.
