Understanding ADHD in Adults and the Lat...

David A Greenwood
About this episode

Dave welcomes Dr. Jennifer Dall, a grief-informed neurodivergence specialist and founder of ADHD Holistically, to discuss the increasingly common experience of being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, often in your 30s, 40s, or 50s.

Many adults, particularly those who were successful in their early careers or excelled in structured environments like school, find themselves suddenly struggling when life's demands and structures change.

Dr. Dall shares her own candid journey of a later-in-life diagnosis, from initial misdiagnosis to the ultimate "Aha!" moment, and provides actionable insights on how to navigate the complex emotional and practical aspects of this discovery.

This conversation is an essential listen whether you're newly diagnosed, suspect you have ADHD, or simply want a deeper understanding of the adult ADHD experience.
