If your FYP is anything like ours, you’ve likely noticed an increasing amount of awareness around Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adult women. Because of the diagnosis gap between boys and girls, women typically live undiagnosed with ADHD and later in life begin to discover differences between themselves and others. 

Today we’re joined by Psychologist Dr. Chanda to get the scoop on ADHD. Whether you’ve been properly diagnosed as neurodivergent, suspect you’re “neuro-spicy” or looking for more insight on ADHD, today's episode will jumpstart your understanding from a credible expert homegril!

In this episode we discuss:

Common and uncommon symptoms of ADHD and how women go misdiagnosed 

To what degree self-diagnosing is appropriate and when to seek professional assistance for a formal diagnosis. 

How to discuss being diagnosed (or suspecting) with your friends + family

And much more!
