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

So it's just a natural foregone conclusion.

You're never ever going to think, well, is my brain wired differently to the environments that I'm in that assume it to be working in a different way?

You're never going to think like that because you can only compare yourself to you and the struggles you've had throughout your whole life.

That's the most painful part of undiagnosed ADHD.

So there's been lots of studies done and there's a certain figure that gets quoted quite a lot where children with ADHD by the age of 12 years of age have received 20,000 more critical comments than people without ADHD.

So if you're constantly receiving those messages from early childhood, that's going to start battering your self-confidence.

It's going to start making you view yourself in a different way.

And essentially, you're going to just feel like you're not enough from such a young age.

Then you're going to go into work environments where you're probably struggling much harder than others to get things done.

So again, that narrative just plays itself out again.

I'm not good enough here.

You're going to struggle in your relationships.

Your partner might have to carry a lot more of the household chores, for example.

That's going to put a strain on your relationships.

So that narrative, it just keeps going and going and going throughout your life.

And that leads to a lot of shame.

And the shame leads to a lot of breakdown of confidence.

Yeah, absolutely.

I've seen a number of cases like that, but I'll give you one that stuck out to me.

So I met a mother who had had two children and after the birth of both those children, she was diagnosed with postnatal depression.
