People with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have symptoms that many find relatable like difficulty sitting still or being easily distracted. At one point or another you may even find yourself saying something like “I am so ADHD!” to describe your own experience.

This just does more harm than go to those who are diagnosed and undiagnosed says Western Cape psychiatrist, Professor Renata Schoeman.

Schoeman joins this week’s episode of Sisters Without Shame to unpack the ins and outs, and stigmas associated with ADHD. Schoeman explains that ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders and is usually diagnosed in childhood and continues up to adulthood.
