Why are so many women being diagnosed with ADHD later in life? What does your partner’s penis have to do with your bacterial vaginosis diagnosis?  And when to worry about a lumpy boob.

Today's Sunday Special is from our good friends at Well, with an episode we think many of you will get a lot out of so we thought we'd share it with you. 

Psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr Kieran Kennedy discusses how women often experience more inattentive features of ADHD and why they may try to mask the symptoms. We also talk about time blindness, memory issues and emotional dysregulation.

And is ADHD making you feel more sensitive to rejection? We discuss a condition called rejection sensitive dysphoria.
