Big questions like, “Does ADHD make you more likely to have postpartum depression?” Little nitpicks (TikTok was wrong about something?!), and personal conversations with everyone from old bosses and hilarious comedians, to leading researchers. Because on this show, hyperfocus isn’t the distraction — it’s the assignment.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T12:23:44.916692+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hyperfocus-with-rae-jacobson-7037869"},"episode":{"title":"Is your ADHD brain fog actually CDS?","slug":"is-your-adhd-brain-fog-actually-cds","published_at":"2026-08-13T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hyperfocus-with-rae-jacobson-7037869/is-your-adhd-brain-fog-actually-cds","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/hyperfocus-with-rae-jacobson-7037869","url":"https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/hyperfocus/adhd-cds","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/1245/afp-935247-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/413aead8-30e8-4194-b1de-a79e272c9a2b/episodes/58e83f40-6821-4bbb-89bc-cc0e0d3eede1/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=413aead8-30e8-4194-b1de-a79e272c9a2b&awEpisodeId=58e83f40-6821-4bbb-89bc-cc0e0d3eede1&feed=rovQkSeI","summary":"Many people with inattentive ADHD feel like something is missing from their diagnosis.
