I Have ADHD Podcast

Ever been so locked into a task that the world around you fades away? That’s hyperfocus, one of the most misunderstood aspects of ADHD. Some call it a superpower—but is it really? In this episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, I break down what hyperfocus actually is, how it impacts ADHDers, and why it’s not the magical productivity hack some people think it is.

What You’ll Learn:

1. Why hyperfocus looks like the opposite of ADHD but still causes major challenges
2. The hidden cost of hyperfocus (spoiler: neglecting responsibilities, basic needs, and loved ones)
3. The dreaded hyperfocus hangover—why you crash after an intense session
4. Why hyperfocus can’t be controlled or summoned at will—and why that matters
5. How ADHD medication can help with self-regulation and balance
