Katy Weber
About this episode

Episode 118 with Priyanka Patel.

“We can’t stand injustice. We like to fight for what’s right. And when something isn’t right, we can get really riled up.”

Priyanka is a mental health pharmacist based in Manchester who was diagnosed last year and is now working to raise awareness of ADHD among healthcare professionals and help improve the assessment & diagnosis process in the UK.

We talk about her long and complicated road to an ADHD diagnosis after initially being diagnosed with depression.

We talk all about medication myths & stigma, drug holidays, the NHS, the pros & cons of TikTok for the ADHD community, and her research project to help improve funding for women with ADHD.
