Stigma

Available for over a year

After years of being told she suffered with anxiety, BBC reporter Patrycja Boryka is convinced she actually has ADHD. She has begun a journey of understanding the condition, through a series of conversations with others, while on the waiting list for an official diagnosis. How do negative stereotypes affect those with the condition? Dr David Smart, a retired GP from Northampton, shares how he had no idea he had ADHD until he stopped working. Bex was eventually diagnosed in her 20s but felt repeatedly dismissed. Image credit: Julia Huber
