Ep. 117: ADHD & Alcohol Use Disorder–Called to the Sea
Mix up a mocktail and settle in for another addition to our ADHD & addiction series.
This episode, we’re on a mission to bring back fun, lighthearted conspiracy theories before diving into the Meat, where Kristin is teaching us about Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
She’s covering the diagnostic criteria for AUD, how alcohol affects the brain and body, why ADHDers are especially drawn to it, and some judgment-free suggestions for reducing your use.
