More importantly, how can stigma be addressed and overcome? In this compelling episode of Attention Talk Radio, host Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) and co-host Dr. Kirsten Milliken talk with Dr. Stephen Hinshaw, renowned professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, who has dedicated decades to studying stigma both personally and academically. They unpack the nuances of stigma, its impact on those with ADHD, and share practical steps for reducing its influence. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with ADHD, this episode is essential to help you understand stigma and rise above it.
