About this episode
This week: Jen talks about scientific studies on the links between ADHD and trauma. ADHD is not caused by childhood trauma but having ADHD in childhood can cause trauma which changes the chemistry of the brain. It's complex, nuanced and a great example of "correlation does not equal causation."
