In this episode of Latine ADHD, Dr. Janice Castro talks about ADHD and addiction. Sometimes, people with ADHD might use alcohol, weed, or other things to feel better or to calm their minds. This can be very hard, especially for men who are told not to cry and to handle things on their own. Dr. Castro discusses why it’s important to get help and introduces a tool called H.A.L.T. This tool can help you think before you act on impulses by asking if you're hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Dr. Castro urges everyone to seek support and reminds us that needing help is not a weakness. There’s also information about a men’s ADHD support group. Remember, you are not alone. Take care of your mind, your body, and your heart.
