In this episode, Bev discusses ADHD with Dr. Annabel Sibalis, as well as with a woman with lived experience with ADHD, Meghan Riley. Dr. Sibalis is a doctoral candidate in the Psychological Science program at Toronto Metropolitan University. Her research investigates mental health in children and youth with a specific focus on ADHD and learning disabilities. She uses multiple methods including EEG brainwave scans to examine the neural underpinnings of attention and their relations to mental health symptoms, social skills, and emotional and behavioural functioning. She is a collaborator with community mental health agencies including the Child Development Institute in Toronto, and works with them to investigate the effectiveness of their therapeutic treatment programs for youth. In this episode, we discuss the symptoms of ADHD, treatments for ADHD, and other disorders. Meghan Riley is a lawyer, mom of two, and stand-up comedian who lives in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She openly discusses her experiences with ADHD through her comedy.
