Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1972DM Trauma, anxiety, thyroid issues, hormones can all fragment your focus, but that's not the same as ADHD. Dr. Sasha Hamdani shares that the real tell is a lifelong pattern starting in childhood, not just a rough patch or a stressful season. The original ADHD data came from hyperactive young boys, so the criteria still misses so many other presentations. Europe added emotional regulation to the ADHD criteria back in 2019. The US still hasn't. You can't observe emotional turbulence on a chart, so doctors label it anxiety or depression instead. Patients show up on their 10th antidepressant, still exhausted, still unseen, finally asking if it's actually ADHD. One doctor told a patient they couldn't even discuss ADHD until the anxiety and depression were under control first. That's the trap.
