What Does ADHD Look Like In Real Life??

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions in Canada, yet it is still widely misunderstood and often missed, particularly in girls and women. In this episode of the (w)healthy podcast, host Shauna Nyrose speaks with Dr. Elliot Frank, a dual-certified family physician and an inspiring model of integrated and inclusive health care in our community. Dr. Frank shares his insight on how ADHD presents at different stages of life, why timely diagnosis matters, and the challenges that can arise when it goes unrecognized. He also offers his perspective on the most current approaches to care, from evidence-based treatment to practical supports that help people thrive. This is a thoughtful and informative conversation for anyone seeking to better understand ADHD and its impact across a lifetime.
