Recently there seems to have been a significant shift in our understanding (and perhaps often misunderstanding) of ADHD, particularly in adults. I sure know my own perspective, understanding, and personal experiences have evolved considerably. So do dive deep into this seemingly complex topic, I did what I always do, and sought out one of the foremost experts in the field.

I launched into this conversation with several top-of-mind questions... Such as, what does the current diagnostic process for ADHD entail, and are there concerns about underdiagnosis, overdiagnosis, or self-diagnosis? When should someone suspect they have ADHD, and is pursuing a diagnosis always the appropriate step? What strategies and resources are available to help individuals effectively manage the challenges associated with ADHD? Is there any potential connection between ADHD symptoms and menopause or conditions like fibromyalgia?

In this quest for answers, it was Professor Russell Ramsay, who came highly recommended by several experts in the field. Professor Ramsay specialises in the diagnostic assessment of ADHD in adults and the application of cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) tailored to the unique needs of adults with ADHD. In addition to this, he co-founded and co-directs the University of Pennsylvania’s Adult ADHD Treatment and Research Program. So yeah, I'm confident we've hit the right source for some solid information!
