Ever felt so bored you’d rather do anything — even something you’ll regret — just to avoid that restless, agitated feeling? In this episode, Dr. Marcy Caldwell breaks down why boredom feels like torture, what’s really happening in the brain and body, and why ADHDers crave stimulation (even the bad kind sometimes).
We dig into:
- The two types of boredom — apathetic vs. agitated
- What the “optimal stimulation zone” actually means
- Why boredom spikes stress hormones like cortisol
- And practical ways to manage boredom without blowing up your life for excitement
Dr. Caldwell brings her signature mix of neuroscience and real-world wisdom to help us understand — and work with — our restless, stimulation-seeking brains.
