Hello, My Lovely!⁣

In today's longer-than-normal episode, I am sharing some of THE most important information I have found about women, ADHD and why we go unheard and underdiagnosed by medical professionals. If you have felt not believed, gaslit, or like nobody is listening, hearing this episode will help you make sure you are heard.

⁣

What you'll hear:⁣

•Why the information I am sharing in today's episode is so vital to you getting properly diagnosed (with ADHD or other conditions) and why misdiagnosis happens in the first place.

•Why the (lack of) criteria around ADHD in adults for diagnosis and treatment is affecting women and POC the most.

•What education psychiatrists in medical school learn about ADHD and how many questions there are on the boards that they take in medical school when it comes to diagnosis and treatment (especially for women). I give you one statistic that is so beyond shocking that I am SHOOK.

•Why women are OFTEN not diagnosed with the proper condition in the first place

•What are the 7 biggest ADHD diagnosis mistakes doctors make when it comes to diagnosing ADHD?

Be sure to listen to the full episode because you don't want to miss any of this information. You will feel more empowered about seeking an ADHD diagnosis (and why) as well as how to make sure you are heard through the diagnosis process.

p.s. Just in case you haven't heard this⁣ today...I see you. I love you.⁣ And I'm rooting for you. Always. Stay wild, weird, and outside of the box, baby!
