This episode seeks to address the tremendous mis- and under-diagnosing of ADHD in women and gender-diverse folks, most of those who are millennials and Gen X-ers. Bringing awareness to those later diagnosed with ADHD can be especially challenging for many reasons: lack of access to care, and decades of people being told this was a character flaw and not neurodivergence. Dr. Janys uses their own lived experience of being diagnosed with ADHD in mid-life to help further understand and advocate for those who are still questioning or frustrated by lack of access. Resources are available in the show notes.

This episode is not meant to diagnose or replace medical care. I am accepting new patients- please visit my website www.janysmurphyrising.com or email [email protected]

Show notes: 

Decades of undiagnosed girls with ADHD in GenX girls created a “lost generation” of women.
