Episode 118 with Priyanka Patel.

“We can’t stand injustice. We like to fight for what’s right. And when something isn’t right, we can get really riled up.”

Priyanka is a mental health pharmacist based in Manchester who was diagnosed last year and is now working to raise awareness of ADHD among healthcare professionals and help improve the assessment & diagnosis process in the UK.

We talk about her long and complicated road to an ADHD diagnosis after initially being diagnosed with depression.

We talk all about medication myths & stigma, drug holidays, the NHS, the pros & cons of TikTok for the ADHD community, and her research project to help improve funding for women with ADHD.
