Featuring Brandy Callahan, PhD

Neuropsychologist Brandy Callahan discusses the relationship between ADHD and brain health, especially as individuals age. An expert in cognitive aging and brain health, Dr. Callahan explains how over time ADHD can have an impact on memory, executive function, and overall cognitive abilities. She highlights the importance of managing stress, sleep, and vascular health, as well as the potential benefits of lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and social engagement.

Dr. Callahan touches on the double challenge faced by adults with ADHD, especially women, who may experience both aging and ADHD-related cognitive difficulties. She shares valuable insights into the emerging research on ADHD and brain health, practical strategies for supporting brain health, and the role of mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and social interaction in maintaining cognitive function.
