Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is often misunderstood as a behavioral issue or a lack of effort. In reality, ADHD is a biological condition rooted in brain chemistry—specifically, the way certain neurotransmitters function and interact. While medication is frequently used to support performance and regulation, understanding why it helps starts with understanding what’s happening inside the brain.
In this edition of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper is joined by ADHD coach and author Linda Roggli (https://ADDiva.net) for an engaging and accessible conversation about the neurotransmitters involved in ADHD. Linda breaks down which neurotransmitters are at play, what roles they serve, and how imbalances can affect focus, motivation, and follow-through.
What makes this conversation especially powerful is Linda’s memorable way of explaining these brain chemicals—offering simple, relatable language that makes complex neuroscience easier to grasp. Instead of abstract science, listeners walk away with a clearer mental model of how attention works and why ADHD shows up the way it does.
If you’ve ever wondered what’s really going on beneath the surface of ADHD—or why medication can make such a difference for some people—this episode offers valuable insight. It’s an informative listen for individuals with ADHD, parents, coaches, and anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the condition beyond the labels.
