Is it ADHD or is it the mental load? With Dr Samantha Hiew

Sobre este episódio

So many of our Motherkind community are being diagnosed with ADHD, wondering if they have ADHD or may be curious about it. I asked Dr Samantha Hiew, a leading voice and expert on ADHD for women, who was diagnosed herself aged 40 right after the birth of her second child.  We talk about:  Why there is a huge rise in ADHD diagnoses in women  What are the characteristics of ADHD for women How does ADHD intersect with Motherhood  But most importantly… I ask her whether it’s neurodivergence or the stress of carrying the mental load of motherhood.
