You’ve probably heard that line – often linked to Gabor Maté – and it’s everywhere in ADHD discussions right now.
In my new video, I unpack where that idea is helpful, where it quietly becomes unsafe, and what the neuroscience actually shows when you look at ADHD and trauma through circuits, development, and allostatic load rather than slogans.
The aim isn’t to dismiss Maté, but to show why “it’s all trauma” can miss real neurodevelopmental conditions – and why the integration of both matters for patients.
I’m curious: in your experience (clinical or lived), have you seen ADHD dismissed as “just trauma”? Watch here 👇
