In this powerful interview, Dr. Stephen Faraone — Distinguished Professor, Harvard lecturer, and President of the World Federation on ADHD — joins us to unpack decades of research, persistent myths, and why early treatment can be life-changing for girls with inattentive ADHD.

We cover:

✅ Why girls are still underdiagnosed

✅ Why “quiet” doesn’t mean “okay”

✅ The science behind ADHD medications

✅ What the research actually says about therapy vs. meds

✅ How to advocate for your child (even when schools can't)

✅ The danger of misinformation — and how to fight back

This is a must-watch for parents, educators, mental health professionals, and anyone who wants to understand ADHD in girls through an evidence-based lens.
