Welcome back to The ADHD Skills Lab!

This is Producer Sarah speaking; ready to give you the long and short about what you'll find this week:

1. Understanding the link between mind wandering, rumination and mindfulness
2. What happens when you screen a bunch of neurotypicals for ADHD and emotional dysregulation?
3. High co-morbidity between ADHD and mood disorders? What's that about...

*BONUS: I go on a rant this week... which of the three topics do you think triggered it? Come find me on IG/YT and let me know your guess!

Thanks for being here! Until next time,
~ Sarah R (Podcast Producer)
