Update: 2025-11-25
Description
Many adults who struggle with concentration, disorganization, or procrastination wonder if they have ADHD. But when is it ADHD, and how can you suss this out? In this episode, two psychiatrists explore a nuanced case of possible ADHD to demonstrate why diagnosis isn’t always straightforward. They discuss how personal history, childhood environment, mood swings, and even personality traits can all cloud the clinical picture. Listeners will learn how a comprehensive evaluation is done, what other conditions can mimic ADHD, and which practical strategies (like structured routines or therapy) can help improve focus. We emphasize careful assessment and a holistic approach to treating attention difficulties.
