Summary
Dr. Sasha Hamdani joins your hosts (including a very excited Danielle) to talk about ADHD, particularly in women. Danielle has been wanting to get an ADHD evaluation but has not yet had the opportunity, so this conversation is incredibly informative to her and WoMed community as a whole! The three discuss the fact that women are more likely to get diagnosed later in life, the hyperactive boy trope, and how ADHD looks different in women. Dr. Sasha Hamdani also talks about her personal experience with ADHD, her opinion on the overmedication debate, and the 3 ways ADHD symptoms are broken down. She discusses her book, Self-Care for People with ADHD, and the app it morphed into that will be launching soon, FocusGenie. Lastly, she offers advice to anyone struggling with ADHD in their own lives.
