I worked with a maternal mental health clinic where the patient population was perinatal+post-partum requiring high-level specialist care due to uncontrolled or severe mental illness diagnoses. They started screening on intake for ADHD and 1/3 of patients met the criteria
They started treatment for ADHD and many had significant improvement from previous “uncontrolled mental illness”. They just had the wrong diagnosis. This speaks the ongoing harm of missed diagnosis and minimization of the impact that ADHD has on people’s ability to function
Some of these patients had other doctors tell them that they were very sick, would likely never get better, continue to face ongoing in-patient psychiatric hospitalizations and severe episodes. All because of a missed diagnosis.
Never forget what a psychiatrist friend of mine said to me, “Stimulant medications for ADHD are the most successful treatment for a disorder across the entire medical field. There is pretty much no other treatment for any disorder that performs as well is this.”

Fyi @KamalaHarris has repeatedly peddled lies but never once mentioned Israel’s fully evidenced mass, systemic rape and other sexual and gender based violence, dating back decades. Girl bossing sexual violence much?
Even Germany seems to worry that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It insisted that the Israeli government commit in writing, not that it isn't committing genocide, but that it won't use German arms for that purpose. https://t.co/nf3DaNAmWd
Less “How am I supposed to function through all this?” & more “I am committing to dismantling the empire from within”
Now is not the time for self pity and giving in to our [perceived] powerlessness. Now is the time for moral clarity, discipline, and true courage.
May we all be brave enough to do what is required of us in these times. May we dedicate ourselves to liberating this world not just for ourselves but the generations to come. May we know discipline, courage, & steadfastness.
