Hey, folks! This is ADHD in a HURRY! My name is Dustin Horvath.
Why are men with ADHD dying up to 13 years earlier than their peers—and why isn't anyone talking about it? In this powerful episode, we confront the hidden crisis affecting millions of men: the intersection of ADHD, masculinity, mental health stigma, and premature death.
We explore how undiagnosed and untreated ADHD leads to increased risks of addiction, accidents, emotional isolation, and suicide. From the damaging cultural pressure to “man up” to systemic failures in healthcare and education, we break down the real reasons men aren’t getting the support they need.
You’ll hear evidence-based insights, societal analysis, and a call to action for redefining strength—not as silence or stoicism, but as vulnerability, connection, and courage. Whether you're navigating ADHD yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply passionate about men’s mental health, this episode will challenge what you thought you knew—and offer hope for real change.
