Ep 49: "Now it makes sense.": Late-diagnosed ADHD in women

"Why does it feel nearly impossible to start tasks? Or stop doing others?" "Why is my brain so noisy all of the time?" And "why has no one noticed how much I'm struggling?"

These are just a few things an adult with undiagnosed ADHD might ask themselves. For a long time, women with ADHD have flown under the radar of diagnosis, and had little chance of receiving tailored support, medication, or even answers to those questions. As you'll no doubt have noticed, this is beginning to shift.

In this episode, join Ella Rhodes as she speaks with psychologists Dr Eve Holden (Durham University) and Helena Koyabashi-Wood (University of St Andrews), who have been investigating the experiences of late-diagnosed women with ADHD.
