selfdiagnosis

Everyone thinks that they have ADHD these days - but why? Today, Louise talks with clinical psychologist, Dr. Jenna Vyas-Lee about how social media is spreading the word about ADHD and whether self-diagnosis is a good or a bad thing. The pair discuss: 🧠 The rise of ADHD in the mainstream media  🧠 How ADHD manifests differently for men and women  🧠 Late diagnosis of ADHD and why this seems to be picking up the pace 🧠 Stimming, masking and the connection to being female 🧠 Clarity around the overlap between ADHD and autism 🧠 And the incredible power in embracing being a little bit neurospicy The duo also delves into the magic and challenges of getting a diagnosis, and Dr. Jenna provides you with the inside scoop on how to navigate this process. Join us on an important discussion as we start to deep dive into ADHD and how to live, and thrive, with this diagnosis. ----- Join OPENHOUSE PREMIUM now at: https://openhouse.supercast.com/ Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball Follow Louise (The Therapy Girl) on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__ Connect with OPENHOUSE: @theopenhousepodcast Get a diagnosis with Kove Minds: https://koveminds.com Connect with Kove Minds / Dr. Jenna on Instagram: @koveminds ----- Music Sources ⠀ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud ⠀ Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXsY Learn more about your ad choices.
