20 years later same ADHD questions
A colleague of mine recently complained that she had been working with ADHD women for more than 25 years, yet she hears the same questions and concerns today that were on the table in the late 1990s.

The little yellow pill that saved me
I struggle with depression. It’s not something I am proud of, but it’s nothing I hide, either. I come from a long line of worriers, ruminators, obsessors and other equally intense folks.
