Do you think, zooming out and looking at it from a broad lens, do you think women deserve an apology from the medical community around the conversation of neurodiversity?

As I said earlier, Yath, 85% of people who watch and listen to this podcast are women, many of whom are all within this category that we're talking about.

They feel very let down.

What would you hope an audience member might take away from this episode that is a new and refreshing perspective on ADHD?

incredible advice for the listeners thank you so much yeah and speaking of the listeners we do have three very interesting questions from the listeners for you which i'm going to ask you and they're inside the washing machine of woes and it's called the washing machine of woes because they're woes from the audience and in the washing machine because for me it represents memory loss because i always forget my clothes in the machine so i do ask all my guests do you relate to that memory loss you leave your clothes in the machine after the cycle's finished

That's good.

Well, you've made me feel like I'm not the only one now, which is very, very good.

I do rely on the Timo app, which does help me actually.

But so the smell of mold, the smell of damp is getting less frequent, but we're still there a little bit.

The first question, yeah, somebody has asked, does ADHD cause a lot of distress in the people that you treat?

And why is this?

Do you see an increase in distress amongst your female patients over your male patients?

Yeah.

Very useful.

Thank you very much, Yath.

And secondly, on to the next question.

What exactly do you try to figure out during an ADHD assessment?

And what is the threshold to be diagnosed?

You mentioned something earlier.

You said that sometimes ADHD can look similar or perhaps sometimes get misdiagnosed as BPD, borderline personality disorder.
