When you think of ADHD-what do you picture? 

My mind jumps to a young boy bouncing off the walls, tapping his foot, and unable to sit still. So imagine my surprise when I found myself being diagnosed with ADHD. My diagnosis helped lead to a lot of understanding, when it came to why certain situations triggered me more than I thought that they should.  In this episode, I am talking with Christina Crowe, as we discuss what ADHD is and all of the common misconceptions..especially when it comes to women!

Christina discusses how all of the symptoms of ADHD are additive. Meaning that if ADHD is undiagnosed, it can lead to anxiety. Then, in return undiagnosed anxiety can then lead to depression. As women, we are so quick to take care of our children, husbands, and families. We are quick to find solutions when one of our loved ones is struggling with something, yet when we are struggling we still tend to put ourselves on the back burner.  I am here to tell you, you are not a better mom for constantly sacrificing yourself for your kids. Your health and well-being are  JUST AS important. If you have a feeling that something is “off” in yourself, it is your job to advocate for yourself too.

Listen to this episode to learn more about the red flags that you may not have been aware of when it comes to ADHD, how it can be diagnosed, and how it can be treated.
