I am Dr. Purnoor, MD in Community Medicine, and an Assistant Professor at a government medical college in India.
As I have observed, most ADHD information fails in one of two ways: it is either clinically accurate but inaccessible, or relatable but imprecise. Therefore, I wanted to build a resource that explains ADHD through mechanism rather than stereotype.

Why I Write About ADHD
My perspective comes from three sources.
First, medical training. Community medicine requires evaluating evidence, identifying patterns that are routinely missed, and explaining complex conditions clearly.
Second, sustained engagement with ADHD research. I follow work on adult ADHD, women with ADHD, executive dysfunction, emotional regulation, reward-processing, masking, burnout, and comorbidities. ADHDCore is intended not only as an information site, but as a place to track new research and examine emerging theories.
Third, lived experience. I know what it is like for ADHD to remain invisible beneath competence, perfectionism, overcompensation, and chronic cognitive strain. That experience made me less interested in reassurance and more interested in explanation.
Editorial Standards
Every article on ADHDCore is guided by the same principles:
- Research before opinion
- Mechanism before stereotype
- Precision before simplification
- Distinguish what is common from what is universal
- Separate evidence from anecdote
- State uncertainty where uncertainty exists
- Avoid moral language around symptoms and impairment
