10: The one about medication

Author: Moira Maybin May 27, 2021 Duration: 27:00
We cover a lot here--why medications are a pillar of successful treatment, and no longer a last resort, how to figure out if ADHD medications are working for you, when to consider a non-stimulant, and what to expect with side effects. Plus, 2 tools can be used in the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ADHD.

Moira Maybin hosts ADHD Friendly Lifestyle, a podcast born from personal upheaval and professional insight. Diagnosed with ADHD later in life, and as a mother and educator navigating the same terrain with her children, Moira understands the particular exhaustion that comes from trying to force a conventional life onto a neurodivergent mind. Her own breaking point-a literal fall off a cliff that served as a stark metaphor for burnout-became the catalyst for a total life redesign. This podcast is the ongoing conversation from that reconstruction project. Each episode blends Moira’s lived experience with current research and advocacy work, moving beyond simple tips to explore how we can reshape our environments, routines, and self-expectations from the ground up. The discussions are practical, spanning categories from mental health and physical fitness to education and cultural norms, always with an eye toward sustainable systems over sheer willpower. It’s for anyone who finds the typical advice on organization and self-improvement utterly useless, offering instead a framework for building a life that fits, rather than one you constantly have to fight against. Tune in for honest talk about self-care, parenting, and creating a world that works with an ADHD brain, not against it.
