Hyperfocus, forgetfulness, organizational problems: what if it was ADHD?
⚡ Quick Summary
What if you discovered at 43 that what you have often called laziness, dispersion, immaturity or lack of willpower had a name?
What if you discovered at 43 that what you have often called laziness, dispersion, immaturity or lack of willpower had a name? What if your delays, your forgetfulness, your projects started then abandoned, your emotional storms or your moments of hyperfocus were not moral failings, but the signs of a neurodevelopmental disorder that has gone under the radar? In this episode, we talk about ADHD (attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity). The High Authority for Health estimates that ADHD affects around 5% of children and between 2.5% and 3% of adults, or nearly 2 million French people. However, in adults, identification remains complicated. The cause: insufficient training of professionals and a significant delay in diagnosis and treatment.
Margaux de Frouville and Alain Ducardonnet receive, in this new episode of the Health Podcast, Olivier Bonnot, professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Paris-Saclay, co-author of the book “What if it was ADHD?” published by Marabout, as well as Olivier Laude, graphic designer-illustrator diagnosed with ADHD in 2021 and author of the comic strip “TDAAAAH” published by Hachette Livre.
