Episode 8: ADHD, Part 2 — Beyond the Diagnosis
Last episode, we broke down ADHD by the book. This week, we’re taking it into the real world.
What does ADHD actually look like in childhood, relationships, work, and everyday life — especially when someone has spent years learning how to hide it?
We’re talking masking, why ADHD is often missed in women, and how ADHD symptoms can overlap with other diagnoses like OCD and BPD — while also breaking down why these are very different disorders despite sometimes looking similar on the surface.
I’m also sharing more of my own experience with ADHD and how it has shown up throughout different stages of my life.
Because a diagnosis can give us a name, but understanding how those symptoms actually show up gives us context — and context can completely change our perspective.
