Dr. Sasha Hamdani joins your hosts (including a very excited Danielle) to talk about ADHD, particularly in women. Danielle has been wanting to get an ADHD evaluation but has not yet had the opportunity, so this conversation is incredibly informative to her and WoMed community as a whole! The three discuss the fact that women are more likely to get diagnosed later in life, the hyperactive boy trope, and how ADHD looks different in women. Dr. Sasha Hamdani also talks about her personal experience with ADHD, her opinion on the overmedication debate, and the 3 ways ADHD symptoms are broken down. She discusses her book, Self-Care for People with ADHD, and the app it morphed into that will be launching soon, FocusGenie. Lastly, she offers advice to anyone struggling with ADHD in their own lives.

The WoMed is a space to discuss, debate, and celebrate all things Women in Medicine! Danielle Maltby is joined by co-host Jackie Camardo to bring new issues and faces to light in the medical community. These nursing vets bring humor, reality, and a serious passion for the world around them to discussions on self-care, emerging healthcare trends, education, activism, patient stories, and pop culture representation of the industry. The hosts welcome not just women in medicine, but members of the LGBTQ communities in medicine as well, to ensure more people have a platform to amplify their voices. They are also joined by some of the industry’s biggest experts and thought-leaders! Nothing is off-limits, so listeners should come prepared to laugh, (maybe cry), and tune in to meaningful conversations that could change the way you see healthcare.
