I didn’t want to have ADHD (from the Climbing the Walls podcast)

In this bonus episode, we’re sharing the first episode of a new Understood.org podcast, Climbing The Walls. Climbing The Walls is an investigative limited-series podcast that explores why women were historically underdiagnosed with ADHD — and how the recent surge in diagnoses is reshaping our understanding of ADHD. In this episode, Host Danielle Elliot finds herself among the many women diagnosed with ADHD during the pandemic, and she gets curious. Why women? And why now? This question takes her to northern Michigan, to meet a friend’s mom.
