ADHD Chatter · Psychiatrist Who's Diagnosed 10,000 Women With ADHD & Autism: "THIS Still Shocks Me!" - Dr Shyamal Mashru · 8 Jun 2026 podcast

And so she was really broken when she came to see me.

We did an ADHD assessment and it was a very clear history of childhood symptoms.

But we analyzed her relationships because that was the big problem area of her life.

And we realized that she had very impulsively got into romantic relationships with a lot of enthusiasm.

and then suddenly felt trapped and bored and then she impulsively ended them similarly with friendship she was described as too much for people too intense overly sensitive and then she would take that really badly and break those friendships

And she was much more sociable when she was younger, but as she'd got older, she'd just become much more of a recluse.

When we joined the dots and she started to understand why she'd been the way she'd been, she could look at her life in a different way.

There was a shift from I am the problem to I have a problem that hasn't been managed.

Now, a diagnosis in her case didn't repair her relationships.

But I would like to think that the last couple of years of her life, she spent in a much more compassionate way towards herself.

And I think that's a really critical time for her to have that moment.

There's a mixture of emotions.

There is a sense of grief, a bit like a bereavement process, where they mourn the lost years, right?

Of not understanding why they were struggling where other people weren't struggling.

There's a sense of relief as well, because they finally understand the cause behind their lifetime struggles.

It all, the kind of the jigsaw pieces come together, right?

Then, inevitably, for most people, there is a sense of anger because they feel angry that other people didn't pick it up sooner.

The same people that might have labeled them, actually, right?

Especially when there's very clear-cut childhood histories of symptoms.

One remark that someone said to me stuck with me about this.
