I didn’t want to have ADHD (from the Climbing the Walls podcast)

In this bonus episode, we’re sharing the first episode of a new
Understood.org podcast, Climbing the Walls. 


Climbing the Walls is an investigative limited-series
podcast that explores why women were historically underdiagnosed
with ADHD — and how the recent surge in diagnoses is reshaping
our understanding of ADHD.


In this episode, host Danielle Elliot finds herself among the
many women diagnosed with ADHD during the pandemic, and she gets
curious. Why women? And why now? 


This question takes her to northern Michigan, to meet a friend’s
mom.
