Smart But Feeling Dumb

In this episode, Armand DiMele interviews Dr. Harold Levinson, a specialist in dyslexia and related disorders. Dr. Levinson discusses his new book, ‘Smart But Feeling Dumb,’ which explores the complexities of dyslexia, ADHD, and phobias. He emphasizes that many individuals with these conditions often feel inadequate despite their intelligence. Dr. Levinson challenges traditional definitions of dyslexia, suggesting that inner ear issues may play a significant role in these disorders. Through his research, he highlights the interconnectedness of symptoms and the importance of understanding the underlying neurological mechanisms. The conversation delves into treatment options, including medications and therapies that address the inner ear’s influence on cognitive functions.
