Wired for More - Self-Medicating Since Childhood

Long before the diagnosis came, the search for relief had already begun. In this episode of Wired for More, Brandon Couch explores the all-too-common reality of self-medicating ADHD from a young age—often without even knowing it. Whether it was food, fantasy, risk, or substances, the goal was the same: to quiet the chaos, to feel something, or to feel nothing at all. This episode dives into how early coping strategies can evolve into addiction, and how awareness, compassion, and healing can break the cycle.

If you’ve been numbing the noise since childhood, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. You’re wired for more.
