She Was Undiagnosed for Years—Now She’s Making a Documentary
Description
For documentarian Jessi Sorensen, ADHD wasn’t even on her radar until adulthood. Like so many others, she spent years misdiagnosed and struggling without answers. Now, she’s turning her personal journey into Anything But ADHD, a documentary that sheds light on late ADHD diagnosis, misdiagnosis, and the fight for recognition.
🚨 If you’ve ever wondered why ADHD diagnoses take so long—or why so many adults are overlooked—this episode is for you.
🔎 In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ How Jessi finally realized she had ADHD—and why it took so long
✅ Why ADHD is often mistaken for anxiety or depression
✅ What inspired Anything But ADHD and how it’s coming to life
