Summary
Episode 163 with McCall Letterle.
“With the long waiting lists, patients are losing years of their life or their education going undiagnosed and untreated.”
McCall is Qbtech’s Head of Commercial Operations - North America, where she is responsible for the regulatory, research, and clinical operations in the United States. Qbtech is a leading provider of objective ADHD tests, designed to help clinicians around the world measure ADHD symptoms more accurately.
We talk about how Qbtech is working with clinicians around the world to develop and implement objective, standardized ADHD testing for children and adults. We also discuss some of the gaps in our healthcare systems and ways to improve ADHD management and care.
And we also talk about some of the global cultural differences that affect how clinicians are viewing ADHD diagnosis and management. And how therapists are using Qbtech testing to help guide their treatment plans.

| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, it's Katie here. Have you spent your whole life wondering why things feel harder for you |
| 0:05.2 | than they do for everyone else? Do you struggle with motivation even for the things you actually want to do? |
| 0:10.6 | Are you exhausted even though it feels like you're not getting anything done? If you're nodding along, |
| 0:15.9 | then I've got some exciting news. I've recently expanded the women and ADHD team by joining forces with a few |
| 0:22.4 | of my favorite ADHD coaches, each of whom I trust wholeheartedly because they share my values |
| 0:28.1 | of compassionate, neurodivergent affirming support. Consistent one-on-one coaching from someone |
| 0:33.1 | who truly understands what it's like to live with ADHD can make all the difference in life. |
| 0:38.6 | Our women and ADHD coaches provide guidance, support, and accountability you can trust |
| 0:43.6 | with accessible pricing and free consultation calls, so you can find the right coach for you |
| 0:48.6 | without any pressure or pushy sales tactics. Just real support from women who truly get it. Discover what's possible |

| 1:00.7 | consult today. For people with, you know, kind of that, I don't want to say true ADHD, |

| 1:12.2 | to add in the extra components that it needs to stay on task. And that for many people has kind |
| 1:19.2 | of historic tracking, where they can relate to that in adolescence. They can recognize when it |
| 1:24.6 | happened as young children, but situationally, it's really intense |
| 1:29.2 | because everything else is adding in our environment to amplifying how significant it is. |
| 1:39.4 | Hello and welcome to the women and ADHD podcast. |
| 1:43.7 | I'm your host, Katie Weber. I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 45, and it completely turned my world upside down. I've been looking back at so much of my life, school, jobs, my relationships, all of it with this new lens, and it has been nothing short of overwhelming. |
| 2:02.0 | I quickly discovered I was not the only woman to have this experience, and now I interview |
| 2:06.5 | other women who, like me, discovered in adulthood they have ADHD, and are finally feeling |
