ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, commonly portrayed as an inability to sit still and concentrate. While that isn’t completely off base, the reality of ADHD, especially when undiagnosed, is much more complex.
Our friend Carissa joins us today to share her experience with ADHD - she opens up about living with undiagnosed ADHD, navigating the confusing steps to getting a diagnosis, and unlearning the internalized shame and stigma in her ongoing journey to self-acceptance.
