Preview Mode Links will not work in preview mode

We celebrate ADHD entrepreneur success and discuss challenges and solutions. Having lived with undiagnosed ADHD for a large part of his entrepreneurial journey, the host André Brisson will share his personal stories on how he overcame his undiagnosed symptoms and how he refined his systems, routines and habits once diagnosed with self-awareness and personal growth. André will interview high-achieving ADHD entrepreneurs, ADHD experts, and strength discovery experts covering many topics including their own obstacles and successes, strategies to manage their ADHD, share knowledge to gain insights and more. André will also be interviewed by guest hosts to pull out solutions and information from his brain – since his solutions are impulsive thoughts when talking to someone else. André Brisson was diagnosed at 44 with severe ADHD and Asperger’s. He has lived it, researched it, and transformed himself into a higher functioning ADHD entrepreneur.

ADHD and Substance Use with Dr. Gurdeep Parhar

Dr. Gurdeep Parhar, Medical Director at the Adult ADHD Centre, discusses Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and ADHD.

· You can be a high-functioning entrepreneur and suffer from SUD.

· SUD can be caused by self-medicating or for using to escape pain or recreation.

· SUD is all about craving for a dopamine hit.

· Treating ADHD lowers the probability of SUD.
