from The Corey Podcast · host Corey Strong
Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we open up a conversation that has been overlooked for far too long. Dr. Katie Penry joins me to talk about how women were excluded from clinical trials until the 1990s, and how that gap shaped the way ADHD and ADD were diagnosed for decades. Together, we challenge the old stereotype of the hyperactive boy and dig into the quieter signs that often show up in girls, signs that were dismissed or misunderstood for years.We look at why inclusivity in diagnostics matters, how inattentiveness can go unnoticed, and what it means to finally support every child with clarity and compassion. This is an episode for anyone who wants to understand the full picture of mental health and be part of a more informed, more inclusive future.Learn more about Dr. Katie Penry:penrypsychology.com@drkatiepenry on InstagramEpisode Chapters:00:65 Insights and Analytics03:59 Blending Clinical Psychology with AI Technology07:03 Understanding Trauma-Informed AI09:47 AI's Role in Mental Health and Trauma12:41 Navigating Trust in AI for Emotional Support14:53 The Silent Suffering of Women with ADHD17:55 The Intersection of Trauma and ADHD20:46 Community and Self-Diagnosis in ADHD Awareness31:10 Understanding Labels and Self-Blame32:23 Creativity and the 'Too Much' Label33:48 The Superhuman Capabilities of Nonlinear Thinkers37:10 Navigating ADHD in a Structured Society40:15 The Importance of Early Emotional Education43:54 AI and Emotional Regulation46:08 Using AI to Support Parenting48:47 Finding Trustworthy Professionals49:45 The Search for Safe Spaces53:01 AI's Role in Strengthening Community Connections56:01 Closing Remarks Support the showStay Connected with CoreyFor everything Corey, including updates, blog posts, and projects:https://www.coreystrong.comOfficial website of The Corey Podcast:https://www.thecoreypodcast.comFollow The Corey PodcastInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thecoreypodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@thecoreypodcastYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@ThecoreypodcastMerchShop official merchandise:https://a.co/d/6DLwpbwWant to be a future guess on The Corey Podcast?
