ADHD is one of the most common neurodiversity disorders, however it often goes undiagnosed and untreated. This is especially true in high-functioning women who have achieved so much success in their life.

Adults with ADHD may struggle with:

• Being Organized. You may catch yourself saying "I'm such a mess."
• Remembering to keep appointment.
• Being productive at work
• Being viewed by others as uncaring or irresponsible.

Even if you don't have symptoms of ADHD, you likely know someone who does.

In this weeks podcast episode, I speak with ADHD expert, Dr. Diana Mercado. Dr. Mercado was diagnosed with ADHD while she was in medical school. Being diagnosed and starting treatment was a huge blessing for her and changed the trajectory of her career.

In this weeks episode we discuss:

• The inequities in diagnosis and treatment
• What you need to know to improve how you function if you have it
• How you can support your colleagues, friends or family with ADHD
