Summary

Dr. Sasha Hamdani is my favorite ADHD doctor on social media and I brought her to hell to figure out if I have ADHD. She discusses her wild journey of discovering that she has ADHD and how she almost failed out of med school. She explains why women are the hardest to diagnose and the symptoms of ADHD that you wouldn't expect. She also gets to the root of the science behind ADHD and how anxiety and depression factor into diagnoses. We get to the bottom of whether ADHD is just a fad or an explanation for why your brain is the way it is.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/berninginhell/support

1:10.0	Literally pulled it from your bio. I had a couple adjectives I added, but I am so happy to have
1:16.7	you on because I have a lot of questions. And my friend told me that I 100% have ADHD the other
1:24.5	month. And I was like, is this does everyone think that about me? So we're just going to delve into

1:46.6	internet? Or is there kind of a fat happening? Or are people just getting educated for the first
1:53.9	time about ADHD and women? Oh, so you go down these weird TikTok algorithm holes and like you naturally
2:05.3	kind of lean towards more things that you relate to. So it's totally possible. You were seeing a lot
