    Greek and Roman mythology have shaped the foundations of Western storytelling, philosophy, and culture. These ancient tales, passed down through oral tradition and later recorded in literary works, offer insights into the values, fears, and aspirations of early civilizations. From grand cosmic battles to intimate tales of love and betrayal, mythology provided explanations for the unknown, offering a lens through which people understood the forces of nature, the origins of humanity, and the complexities of the divine.  
      
    At the heart of these myths lies a shared heritage, where Greek legends influenced Roman adaptations, blending gods, heroes, and moral lessons into a unified tradition. The Romans, deeply admiring Greek culture, adopted much of its mythology, renaming deities and incorporating new interpretations that reflected their own beliefs and societal structure. While Zeus became Jupiter, and Aphrodite transformed into Venus, the core themes remained intact—struggles for power, quests for glory, and the enduring consequences of mortal actions.  
      
    The power of myth extends far beyond antiquity. Stories of gods and heroes continue to resonate, inspiring literature, art, and modern media. From Shakespearean tragedies to contemporary films and novels, the motifs of Greek and Roman mythology persist, illustrating timeless themes of ambition, fate, and redemption. Whether through the trials of Heracles, the cunning of Odysseus, or the tragic love of Orpheus and Eurydice, these tales remain relevant, reflecting the human condition in ways that transcend time and geography.

    It seems so much is going wrong in America. Some say it’s because our leaders are incompetent. Others think it’s merely a coincidence. But to millions of concerned Americans, those simplistic explanations no longer ring true.

    Kevin Freeman is one of them. Drawing on his deep expertise in investigative analysis, he took a hard look at all that America is going through. Piecing together historical evidence and current events, he made a shocking discovery: 
    The crises now facing America are happening according to plan.

    For many women, the lack of knowledge surrounding ADHD's unique presentation in their lives has led to feeling misunderstood, criticized, frustrated, and alone. Female biology is complicated, and the mainstream understanding of ADHD often simplifies a condition that isn't simple.One thing we are quickly learning about ADHD in women is that the role of emotions and emotion dysregulation have been underemphasized in the ADHD criteria. Think about it: If it's hard to control our behavior, it will, by default, be hard to control our emotional responses. And this relationship is amplified for girls, who are more susceptible to anxiety and depression than boys.Allow Me to Interrupt takes a deep dive into the most unjustifiably underrecognized ADHD symptom: emotion dysregulation. In an effort to educate, inspire, and support other women with ADHD, clinical psychologist and writer, Dr. Gilly Kahn, shares other women's and girls' ADHD stories along with her own.As women with ADHD, we are misunderstood, underappreciated, and unidentified. But it isn't too late to interrupt the status quo, correct misperceptions, and describe the very real emotional lives of girls and women with ADHD.
