In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, host Melissa discusses her struggle with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the MTHFR gene mutation. She shares her journey of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, despite having symptoms since childhood that was overlooked and considered daydreaming. Melissa explains how her ADHD symptoms, such as lack of focus, losing track of time, and forgetfulness, often manifested as anxiety. She also discusses the various medications she has tried, including Strattera, Adderall, and Vyvanse, and how they worked to manage her symptoms. Melissa also talks about the importance of diet, exercise, and sleep in managing ADHD. She also mentions the MTHFR gene mutation, which affects the body's ability to process folate, and how managing this mutation has helped her manage her ADHD symptoms. Melissa encourages listeners who may struggle with similar issues to confront them head-on and seek help from someone who is an expert in these areas.
