ADHD doesn’t have to hold you back from academic and professional success. I attended Duke on an academic, merit based scholarship, went on to Cornell Medical school and matched in a pretty competitive specialty (ophthalmology). And, though my ADHD was mild (I didn’t require medication), I was able to achieve by implementing specific strategies that played to my strengths.
As I now help my son who also has ADHD, it is has caused me to revisit the role ADHD played in my life in college and med school, the heck, even now as a working physician.
So, in this episode, I called my child psychiatrist mother, to ask her what qualities she saw in me that had her consider an ADHD diagnosis for me. And, we dive into the role of medication as well.
What tools did I use and continue to use to organize my life? In this episode, I cover:
