Talking to your family after an ADHD diagnosis

Undiagnosed ADHD, at best, can be a life-long nuisance and energy-sapper, but at worst, it can trigger the worst of mental health issues, including suicide ideation.

Unfortunately, this week's guest, Priyanka Patel, a pharmacist and who was diagnosed with ADHD at 27, knows this all too well.

She was diagnosed with depression in 2020 and, despite her efforts to try and get an ADHD assessment, was not listened to by her GP. Priyanka was then put on a variety of medications, which led to a significant decline in her mental health.

Since finally getting her ADHD diagnosis, Priyanka's life has transformed, and now she is on a mission to ensure no other woman has to go through what she did.

During this week's episode, Kate and Priyanka talk about:

Priyanka's mental health and diagnosis story
How Priyanka's family dealt with her diagnosis
Focussing on all our negatives instead of our strengths
The stigma of mental health, ADHD and medication in Indian culture
How to approach medication for your situation
Cultural views of neurodiversity
How ADHD Medication works in your system
Tips to help feel better while taking medication
Subtle ways our ADHD symptoms creep up
Accommodations we can choose to help ourselves
Priyanka's work to improve NHS GPs' knowledge of ADHD symptoms in women
Increasing awareness and screening of ADHD in GPs
