About the show
Hyperfocus is a show that zeroes in on what fascinates us about ADHD, mental health, and learning.
Big questions like, “Does ADHD make you more likely to have postpartum depression?” Little nitpicks (TikTok was wrong about something?!), and personal conversations with everyone from old bosses and hilarious comedians, to leading researchers.
Because on this show, hyperfocus isn’t the distraction — it’s the assignment.
