Welcome to the first episode of You’re Wrong About ADHD. There’s a lot more to ADHD than the clips you see on social media. It affects people in so many different ways and it’s fair to say, Sam and Katie feel very differently about having it. In this episode they talk about their lives before being diagnosed with ADHD, how they came to terms with the diagnosis and share the challenges, frustrations and positives of living as adults with ADHD.

Classic FM presenters Sam Pittis and Katie Breathwick have been friends for more than twenty years. Around two years ago, their lives took a surprising turn - they both discovered they have ADHD. Katie thinks it's a superpower, Sam thinks it's a pain in the backside.

Join them every week as they explore what it's really like to live with ADHD, the highs and the lows and they’ll share tips and strategies on how they manage it. Across the series, they’ll also be speaking to expert guests to help bust some of the myths and misconceptions.
