Nikki Taylor Joins Drs. Mabry & Lee To Spread ADHD + Mental Health Awareness

In this episode of Local Matters, Drs. Mabry and Lee welcome psychiatric mental health nurse Nikki Taylor for an insightful discussion about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) across every stage of life. Together they explore how ADHD extends far beyond childhood, why more adults are receiving diagnoses than ever before, and how symptoms can present differently in children, teens, and adults. Nikki explains common misconceptions surrounding ADHD, the connection between emotional regulation and executive functioning, and why understanding behaviors rather than simply reacting to them can make a meaningful difference for families. The conversation also introduces practical, evidence-based strategies—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, grounding exercises, and emotional regulation skills—that parents, caregivers, and adults living with ADHD can begin using immediately. It's an informative and encouraging episode that offers listeners a deeper understanding of ADHD while providing practical tools to help individuals and families navigate everyday challenges with greater confidence and compassion.
