Hurt to Healing

Annabel Fenwick Elliott on Addiction, ADHD & Being Diagnosed at 34


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Hurt to Healing, I talk with journalist and editor Annabel Fenwick Elliot, who shares her deeply personal journey of being diagnosed with ADHD at age 34. Annabel reflects on how ADHD impacted her life, from struggles in school and university to managing depression and navigating adulthood.


She candidly discusses the strategies that have helped her work with, rather than against, her ADHD tendencies, including the use of medication and embracing openness about her condition. Beyond ADHD, Annabel opens up about her experience with alcoholism and how the drug naltrexone played a key role in her recovery.


Whether you or someone you know is affected by ADHD, addiction, or the challenges of mental health, Annabel’s story offers hope, understanding, and practical insights.
