The episode where Your Weekly Checkup became The Dr. Lazar Show. Dr. Lazar looks at the steep rise in ADHD diagnoses, anxiety, depression, and other neurological struggles in children, and at the part of the picture that's most often skipped: how the nervous system — particularly the brainstem and upper cervical spine — is actually functioning. He shares stories from families in the practice and makes the case for early evaluation and real clarity before a child is labeled and managed.
- The numbers on kids' neurological health — ADHD, anxiety, depression — have been moving the wrong way.
- The brainstem and upper neck are rarely evaluated, yet they sit at the center of regulation.
- Earlier clarity gives parents more options.
