ADHD Mums

39. Misdiagnosis in ADHD and Bipolar Disorder with Georgia Poletti-Moulds


Listen Later

In this episode of ADHD Mums, I chat with Georgia Poletti Moulds, co-host of the Going Loco podcast. Georgia candidly shares her journey with bipolar and her recent realisation that she likely has inattentive ADHD, discovered through her son's diagnostic process. 

Jane and Georgia discuss the challenges of distinguishing between bipolar and ADHD, especially when symptoms like hyperactivity, hyperfocus, and mood fluctuations can appear similar. They also touch on the impact of family history, the nuances of managing mental health during pregnancy, and the importance of advocating for oneself within the healthcare system.

Please Note: There is a brief mention of suicide in this episode.
