ADHD Medication Wasn’t the Saviour That I Expected

About this episode

The episode discusses the host's personal experience with ADHD and the challenges faced with medication.

Today on Hotter Than Yesterday I share my journey with ADHD and why, even with most of my family being diagnosed with it, I avoided getting tested.  I discuss how my life looked before the diagnosis, the testing process, and how medication didn’t magically fix everything the first time that I took it.

Everything discussed in this episode is strictly my experience and not medical advice.  If you have concerns about your own mental health you should talk to a medical professional or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
