In this episode of the "ZET jak Zdrowie" podcast, Iwona Kutyna's guest is Tomasz Kowalczyk, a psychiatrist and ADHD specialist, who dispels myths surrounding the disorder. Dr. Kowalczyk explained that ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with delayed development of executive functions, such as inhibition, working memory, emotional self-regulation, and planning. The podcast explored the differences in the daily functioning of individuals with ADHD and how dopamine deficiency affects the motivation of patients, who often need immediate rewards to motivate them to complete daily tasks. Dr. Kowalczyk highlighted the suffering of individuals with ADHD caused by chronic stress and guilt, which they experience throughout most of their lives. The conversation also touched on the diagnosis of ADHD, both in children and adults, and emphasized the importance of therapeutic and pharmacological support.
