ADHD Therapist Talks About Her Personal Journey To Diagnosis In Her 30's

My ADHD Diagnosis in my 30s as a Therapist | How I Got Diagnosed, My Symptoms, and Treatment

I talk about how I struggled without knowing what was going on my entire life, my struggles through school, my apprehension about applying to graduate school, and how I finally did it. Then I go into the lengthy and almost impossible journey to getting an official diagnosis, my medication, and what else I am doing to help my ADHD.
