Do I need diagnosis? w/ Dr Sara Delia Menon


Listen Later

Do you actually need a diagnosis, or can you keep going the way you are? In this episode, Aga sits down with clinical psychologist Dr. Sara Delia-Menon to unpack one of the most common questions late-diagnosed and high-performing adults ask themselves.

They talk about what's really underneath that question, the genuine pros and cons of pursuing a formal diagnosis, how ADHD, autism, and giftedness can look similar but come from very different "wiring," and where trauma fits into all of it. Aga also shares her own long and winding diagnostic journey. Including a comment from a clinician that stayed with her for years.

If you've ever wondered whether you're "too high-functioning" to need support, or whether it's "too late" to figure your brain out, this conversation is for you.
