Episode 7: "An 'ADHDer's' Natural Focus," By An Anonymous Guest

Dear Diary,

Welcome to "The Indigo Diaries".

Join host Natasha Hickling as she interviews a brand new guest; however, for privacy reasons, this guest will be kept anonymous, in the seventh diary entry of the series.

Our guest is 51 and is from India. He lives in Bengaluru with his family. He works as a marketing professional in a multinational medical device manufacturer.

Discover how a boy who started life as a vibrant and carefree city lad gradually locked his true self away as external influences and pressure to "fit in" took over, leading to struggles with mental health that continued into youth and middle-age.

After witnessing mental health struggles of individual members of his extended family, a diagnosis of ADHD traits finally came at the age of 40 after he spotted an article in the 'Education times' supplement of the 'Times of India.' By a pass-out from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). What particularly appealed to him from the literature read during the initial period of discovery about the condition was that people with ADHD could adapt their lifestyles to suit their ADHD.

The most intriguing thing was, he had no clue what these lifestyle changes were. Thus began his journey of discoveries about ADHD and how it can be managed. The journey has blessed him with the ability to connect with beautiful people, including fellow-ADHDers and ADHD experts doing yeoman service to the ADHD fraternity.

Consequently, he founded his own India ADHD online support group intending to connect people who are just like him so that ADHDers in India are aware that there are natural ways of managing and living with the condition besides professional consultation.

We hope you enjoy this truly courageous episode!

Have another great week!

Until next time...
