Today we spoke to Dr Dagmar Whitaker. We were talking about Psoriasis. Psoriasis is a non-contagious, chronic skin disorder that is seen as peeling plaques on the skin. It affects one to two percent of the population.

And we also spoke to Hans Brauer counseling and educational psychologist. We were talking about Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD. ADHD is a disorder characterized by three primary symptoms: hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention. ADHD is a neurological condition and runs in families.
