Becoming a Health Coach

So Frickin' Healthy Bonus Episode: Diagnosing ADHD


Listen Later

You've taken the online quizzes. You've seen yourself in every TikTok. You're 97% sure you have ADHD... but now what?

In Episode 2 of our ADHD series, Kelly Brändli breaks down the entire testing and diagnosis process—from self-assessment to sitting in the psychiatrist's office.

What You'll Learn:

  1. First step: Take a proper self-assessment (Kelly recommends ADHD UK's website)
  2. What separates "everyone loses their keys" from actual ADHD: the 96th percentile rule, 6+ months of symptoms, impact in 2+ life areas
  3. Why wait times are brutal (9-18 months in Switzerland/UK)
  4. The emotional rollercoaster of adult diagnosis: relief vs. "Why didn't anyone catch this?"
  5. What testing actually looks like: questionnaires, cognitive exercises, clinical interviews

Real Talk: Megan realized at 39 she'd been self-medicating with caffeine for years. When she quit? Her brain went haywire. Danna cried at her diagnosis, remembering every time she was called "lazy."

Key Takeaway: Don't wait for official diagnosis to get help—you can work with an ADHD coach while you're on that 12-month wait list.

Coming Up: Episode 3 dives into medication!
