Research.

Overdiagnosis is not a problem, but misdiagnosis may be as people are driven into the private sector by long waits, and sadly, missed diagnoses remain common —Tamsin Ford

Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.

Wow, this could have been written by me. I got diagnosed last year in my early 50s after my 4th burnout. I'm currently assessing career options and try to work out what to do next. Unfortunately one has to make money to survive, I'm just trying to find something that won't break me again. Bonus points if it's interesting too.

This is where I am too, in my late 30s. Had a really bad year last year reaching burn out and ending up with panic disorder 😵 I wonder if changing to a job that's more systematic would help, but also the boredom kills me and I need money. I hope you figure it out!
