Why physicians with ADHD are struggling with burnout despite success
Description
Certified coach Michael Carlini discusses his article "Why physicians with ADHD are burning out." Michael explains how high-IQ physicians often mask their ADHD symptoms through hyper-organization, perfectionism, and hyperfocus, which allows them to succeed professionally but takes an immense internal toll. He outlines how misdiagnosis, overcompensation, and lack of accommodations contribute to severe burnout, strained relationships, and declining well-being. Michael also highlights solutions, including increasing awareness of ADHD's diverse presentations, encouraging comprehensive assessments, and building supportive, neurodiversity-affirming environments. Listeners will take away strategies to recognize hidden ADHD in high-achieving physicians and insights on fostering resilience in the medical profession.
