In Part 2, NYU clinicians break down what treatment for ADHD really looks like, beyond stereotypes and “magic pill” myths. Dr. Jiyoon Lee and Dr. Reji Mathew unpack common barriers (cultural stigma, internalized ableism, financial obstacles, and medication access), and explain why ADHD is often invisible until college life magnifies the demands.

They dive into the realities of testing, medication options, and why not everyone responds the same way. You’ll also hear practical academic strategies: time-management skills, breaking down deadlines, task initiation tools like the Pomodoro technique, and building routines that support executive functioning. The episode also explores digital overwhelm, boundaries, and how ADHD can impact anxiety, comparison, and relationships.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, curious about ADHD, or supporting a friend, this episode offers tools and clarity to help you understand your brain, and move through college in a way that works for you.
