In today’s episode, we are delighted to have a conversation with one of psychiatry’s visionary pioneers and one of the first proponents of the ADHD syndrome. John Ratey, MD has expanded the conceptualization of ADHD and has deeply explored the role of exercise in mental health. Dr. Ratey has written several books about mental health, and he joins us to talk about his latest book, ADHD 2.0, which brings fresh perspectives on diagnosis and treatment of this condition.
Dr. Ratey’s 2008 book, SPARK: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, brought exercise into the mental health conversation.
