In this episode, Ryan tries to get himself a diagnosis for ADD!
We have the incredibly intelligent Dr. Brandi Boan with us today, talking about what it means to be a neuropsychologist and the kind of work and tests that she conducts. Brandi also discusses the unique perspective of being a prescribing psychologist, one of less than 20 in her state!
We discuss neurological conditions such as dementia and how we try to treat it, and Ryan asks for a professional opinion on if he ever should have gotten labeled with Attention Deficit Disorder. It's a super educational episode and we hope you enjoy it!
