Mind My Brain Episode 2: Heywood and Stuff
Trigger warning: drug use, mild language, ADHD, relationships
Today's guest is Heywood from Heywood and Stuff, he shares some very insightful experiences on getting diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, finding the right medication that works for him, and what it's like being a member of a couple where both partners have ADHD. We also got a little side tracked (unsurprisingly) and talked about respectful parenting.
