More and more adults are being diagnosed with ADHD, so today, we are unpacking the 6 surprising signs of ADHD. I also tell you why so many women, in particular, go undiagnosed.
This episode is deeply personal, but my story is shared by so many women.
I lived my entire life with symptoms of ADHD and crushing anxiety because of it. But I was never diagnosed until the age of 47—and I found out by fluke!
So in this episode, I go deep into what ADHD is: a neurological disorder that affects the brain structurally and chemically. I explain the signs and the science behind what is going on in your brain to help you live a better life.
If you ever wondered if you have ADHD, if you feel like menopause is making it worse, or if you struggle with anxiety, an eating disorder, or low self-esteem, you have to listen. All these might be symptoms of ADHD.
This episode goes way beyond an inability to focus, because ADHD is so much more. This is an education in how your brain works, how focus works, and how to help yourself or someone in your life who may have ADHD.
I’ve been wanting to record this episode for MONTHS, but I didn’t want to do it until I had first-class resources for you. Because every time I talk about my ADHD story, we get an avalanche of questions from listeners.
I have regrets about that lost time when I did not know I had ADHD, and I don’t want you to have them, too.
Today you’ll learn:
*why women have been profoundly underdiagnosed
*four key differences between genders with ADHD
*why my diagnosis was both a blessing and a curse
*the surprising way most women find out
*six symptoms of ADHD that most people don’t catch
*the connection between anxiety and depression and ADHD
*resources and hacks to help you take charge over your symptoms
