When ADHD world expert, Dr Ned Hallowell told me he also constantly worries and catastrophises, I breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm not alone," I thought, listening intently to how he combats his incessant ADHD imagination!

On today's short episode, I'm delighted to welcome back the incredible ADHD world expert Dr Edward Hallowell, a board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, to the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast for our second episode together.

Not only is Dr Ned an ADHD leader, but he's also a diagnosed patient, and he has dedicated his whole career to empowering and supporting people with ADHD. He's passionate about helping neurodivergent patients thrive and develop in life with new awareness, tools and strategies. He has written a new book, ADHD Explained, which can be bought here.

He has spent the past four decades helping thousands of adults and children live happy and productive lives through his strength-based approach to neurodiversity and has ADHD and dyslexia.
