What’s scary about ADHD? (Ghost hunter Em Schulz’s story)

Em Schulz thought they were just lazy growing up. Years later,
after discovering that not everyone’s TikTok was full of ADHD
tips that “weirdly work,” they realized they might have ADHD.

Em is a paranormal investigator (aka ghost hunter) and co-host of
the And That’s Why We Drink podcast. Em and Laura chat
about ghosts and ghosting, as in ghosting relationships —
a not uncommon ADHD behavior. And Em shares their take on whether
people believe less in ghosts or ADHD.
