Distracted: Adulting With ADHD

By Kaia Findlay,

Anita Rao

Published June 9, 2023 at 5:29 AM EDT

An illustration of a femme-presenting person sitting with her chin resting in her hands. She is wearing blue-rimmed glasses and has brown hair in a bun on top of her head. There are three white clouds surrounding her, and she's leaning on a dark blue surface with a pink background.

Anita passes the mic to our friends at the feminist documentary podcast "Bodies" for an exploration of ADHD and identity. Producer Hannah Harris Green talks about how getting an ADHD diagnosis helped her release the shame she'd been carrying since childhood.

Meet the guests:

Hannah Harris Green, contributing producer for "Bodies," shares her journey to an ADHD diagnosis as an adult and how the disorder has impacted her entire life
Matthew, Hannah's partner, talks about how Hannah's ADHD impacts their relationship and helps her come to terms with her diagnosis
Dr. Andrea Spencer, child psychiatrist and vice chair for research for the Psychiatry Department at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago, explains her research on the intersection of ADHD and PTSD
