Psychiatrist Who's Diagnosed 10,000 Women With ADHD & Autism: "THIS Still Shocks Me!" - Dr Shyamal Mashru

Dr Shyamal Mashru is an award-winning psychiatrist and ADHD expert who has treated thousands of people with ADHD.

Drawing on years of clinical experience, he shares one of the most honest and comprehensive conversations we've had about the realities of living with ADHD. We explore the emotional impact of diagnosis, why so many people with ADHD grow up believing they're broken, the loneliness and rejection sensitivity that often go unnoticed, and the identity crisis that can follow unmasking.

We also discuss shame, addiction, burnout, AuDHD, ADHD medication, depression, and the life-changing power of finally understanding yourself.
