The ADHD Expert: Everything We’ve Been Getting Wrong About ADHD

Dr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist, ADHD specialist, and one of the leading voices changing the way we understand ADHD and emotional regulation.

In this episode, Sasha breaks down what ADHD actually is — and why it goes far beyond simply struggling to focus. We talk about why so many women are diagnosed later in life, how hormones can impact ADHD symptoms, the difference between behavioral and medication-based treatment, and the ways ADHD can show up in work, relationships, and everyday life.

Sasha also opens up about her own experience with ADHD and emotional sensitivity, and the inspiration behind her book Too Sensitive. We explore rejection, resilience, communication, and why the qualities we’re often told to suppress may actually become some of our greatest strengths.
