Summary

Millions of Americans have ADHD. But, sadly, women specifically have struggled in silence, unaware of their diagnosis until later in life. This lack of awareness and education around ADHD bleeds into every segment of life, especially finances. We’re joined by Dr. Sasha Hamdani (also known as @ThePsychDoctorMD on TikTok and Instagram) to talk about her own journey as a woman with ADHD who also treats patients with ADHD. Dr. Hamdani tackles everything from the why behind certain behaviors with money to the true cost (to the tune of billions) of ADHD in the United States.
