“The Clinical Trial : Why Women Like Me Need To Be Studied.”

Are you a woman with ADHD — or a mom, teacher, or daughter who’s realized something never added up in how women are diagnosed and treated?In this episode, I open up about my decision to step forward and volunteer for an ADHD clinical trial — and the fear, frustration, and purpose that come with it. From my years as a teacher who missed the signs in girls, to discovering that women still aren’t represented in the data, I share why I’m choosing transparency over fear.We talk about the shocking lack of female-focused ADHD research, what’s happening in the Netherlands right now, and why it’s time for women to be studied, not silenced.Trigger warning: This episode discusses medical research, mental health, and personal loss.
