Matt speaks to his very own psychiatrist, Dr James Kustow, about adult ADHD.
James studied medicine, before training in psychiatry. He’s now a consultant who specialises in ADHD and has trained further in psychotherapy and nutrition.
But being an expert is only half of the story. Because, like Matt, James was also diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.
In this wide-ranging conversation, the pair talk about ADHD symptoms, diagnosis, the correlation with addiction, the use of medication, and the different targets for intervention that James explores, before taking a pharmaceutical approach.
