After a 1 minute recap of each video, I’ll be available for questions on these topics or any other related to Mental Health.

Peer Social Genetic Effects:
Most of us are aware that both nature and nurture shape who we become, including our risk for mental health conditions. A new field of research in this area is that of peer social genetics - how the genes of the people around you influence your own future behaviors. A large Swedish study just demonstrated that the genetics of your high school classmates influences your later likelihood of developing a drug or alcohol problem, with a smaller but measurable effect on depression and anxiety.

Psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and author John Kruse, MD, PhD presents practical, actionable, well-researched information about treatment options that scientists and clinicians recommend for adult ADHD and other mental health conditions. Subscribe if you're curious about how neuro-atypical brains can optimize their functioning in our shared, and somewhat strange, world.

Dr. Kruse has posted talks in both the "live" and the "video" sections of this channel. Thumbnails on ADHD topics have a pink background, and those on more general mental health topics have a purple background. A small collection of ADHD-Trump videos have an orange background.

You're welcome to email him with topics you want discussed or people you think he should interview.

Thank you for answering my question!! I watched your video on bilingualism and it was very interesting (it's called "How Does Bilingualism Impact ADHD?" it's in the live section if anyone is interested in the topic too)

I think the titles of these older livestreams were better!! Just shorter and easier to find the topics...
