Hello, friends! In this episode I take three new awesome questions. We cover the whole board from going heavy into some complicated terminology about neurobiology and testing all the way to hitting you with some hard truths about “saving” a relationship. Please consider sharing the show with the people in your life and on social media. You never know who might need to hear the answers to these questions. Here are the specific questions covered this episode:

  • Years ago, my IQ was estimated to be low. Can your IQ improve over time and should I be tested again?
  • How can I save my marriage with my wife who has mental illness and drinking issues?
  • What is a normal level of anxiety? When should you get help?

As always you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com or you can hit me up on twitter at http://twitter.com/duffthepsych

You asked for it! Here’s a deep dive episode all about Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. I briefly mention this, but I didn’t give nearly enough emphasis to the fact that you can have the primarily inattentive type, the hyperactive/impulsive type, or the combined type. Oops!

In the episode, I mention my interview on the MyCoda podcast, which you can find here: http://www.mycoda.net/session-020/

Next week is a Q&A, so send me your questions!! duffthepsych@gmail.com
