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

The university had concerns because he hadn't been showing up for any lectures, none of the workshops.

He hadn't submitted any of his assignments in that final year.

And he had a big dissertation coming up as well.

And he hadn't even responded to any of his tutor's emails.

So he reluctantly saw me.

He wasn't keen to see me at all.

Um, and he was very withdrawn actually.

And essentially when we analyzed him over a few sessions, we realized that it wasn't that he wasn't concerned about his degree.

He was too concerned about his degree.

So he was absolutely terrified and paralyzed in fear about getting this dissertation wrong and not getting a good mark or getting some bad feedback from his tutors.

He'd got through the first two years with last minute cramming, revising for exams like lots of students do.

But he couldn't get over this.

And this is a symptom that's often called procrastination.

But sometimes this is misunderstood.

And this is where RSD can play a role.

Because he was absolutely fearing failing that dissertation.

So we did a lifelong history, an assessment of him.

And his symptoms were a bit more tricky.

He had gone to a very academic school, but he hadn't met his predicted GCSE or A-level grades.

So he went to a school which had very high expectations of him.
