Ned Hallowell's Crazy Family
Psychiatrist Ned Hallowell embraces the fact that he comes from a “crazy” family: his quote, not ours. He’s known for books on ADD and ADHD, and he hopes his new memoir will help erase the stigma around that five letter word. It’s called Because I Come From a Crazy Family. We also spoke to Lesley Todaro, clinical director at the Hallowell Todaro ADHD Center.

Caitlin Carlson, assistant professor of strategic communication at Seattle University, gives us context.
