In this episode, we’re doing something a little different. I want to play you an episode of another show that I think you will like. It’s called Climbing the Walls. This 6-part series investigates why women with ADHD have gone undiagnosed for so long… and how that changed dramatically during the pandemic, when the diagnosis of ADHD in women skyrocketed. The show asks: why women? Why now? How has underdiagnosis impacted women’s mental health?
I checked out the first episode, and I know I’m supposed to say something professional here, but honestly, my first thoughts were, “Oh my god, this is so good.”
Understood sent me the first two episodes to listen to and… now I’m just going to have the wait for the rest of the series to come out, because this is definitely something worth listening to and I just can’t wait to get to the next episode. If you’re a woman with ADHD, this is a series you’re going to want to catch, and even if you’re not, it’s still worth it.

1:02.0 | here's the episode. I've never been all that good at listening to instructions. When flight attendants ask passengers to put their phones on airplane mode, I don't. I usually scroll Instagram |
1:07.5 | until we lose service. That's what I was doing one morning in February |
1:11.4 | 2024. I was scrolling Instagram when the little red icon appeared in the top left corner of the app. A new message. I opened it. It was a link to a video. My thumb was hovering over it as the wheels lifted off the runway. I saw the top half of the news anchors head |
1:28.5 | and the logo for Fox News. The screen froze like that. At the time, I was working on a film about |
1:34.6 | affirmative action, so I assumed that the link had something to do with that. We were in the air for |
1:40.2 | about six hours, and as we landed, I opened Instagram again. I saw four more messages. |
1:46.8 | Everyone was sending me the same link. As it loaded, I realized it had nothing to do with affirmative action. |
1:54.1 | Adult women are being diagnosed with ADHD at a record pace. In just two years, diagnosis rate has nearly doubled. So what's driving... |
2:03.8 | Ah, yes. ADHD. Attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder. |
