In this episode, we take a step back from the rush to diagnose and explore why so many adults are reporting attention difficulties today — and how primary care providers can begin to thoughtfully assess for ADHD. We unpack sociocultural forces shaping the rise in self-diagnosis, discuss the limitations of adult-onset ADHD as a clinical entity, and offer a practical entry point for evaluating attentional complaints using tools like the ASRS and WURS. If you’ve been feeling unsure about how to approach adult ADHD in a busy primary care setting, this episode offers a clear and manageable starting point.
