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

So 70 to 80% of people with untreated ADHD go through cycles of anxiety and depression.

They give a very typical story of being prescribed antidepressants and they feel quite emotionally numb.

And that's because the medication itself was potentially treating the wrong chemical pathways.

But from a psychological perspective, if you keep going through your life struggling, feeling like a failure, not feeling good enough, you're not going to feel very happy at the end of that.

You're going to feel depressed.

But that type of depression is slightly different to what might be clinical depression that we treat antidepressants with.

That type of depression is more around issues of self-esteem, self-loathing, self-criticism.

So it's very important to tease apart these symptoms to make sure you're on the right treatment pathway.

To my younger self, never stop asking questions.

Don't always do what is expected of you.

Remember what makes you happy.

That's a really nice bit at the end.

Remember what makes you happy.

Whether you have ADHD or you don't have ADHD.

Thanks a lot, Alex.
