#148 The busy brain that never stops

One of the reasons ADHD can be misunderstood is because of the persisting belief that its hyperactivity trait needs to be visible – fidgeting, interrupting, busy, busy, busy. while that can be how hyperactivity presents, what isn’t talked about is the hyperactivity happening on the inside, not seen on the outside.

Inside the brain of many ADHD women – particularly the quiet, introverted, sensitive and empathetic woman – there is a LOT going on. But because we may appear quiet, calm and still there’s a disbelief that we can have ADHD because we don’t ‘look’ like we have ADHD.

In this episode I explore just what is happening in our busy minds that never stop, behind the seemingly quiet exterior.
