The Hidden Struggles of Masking ADHD

Katie and Sam explore the exhausting reality of masking ADHD traits and how it can lead to burnout. They share their own experiences of masking from a young age, the pressure to conform, and the emotional cost of hiding their true selves. They are joined by counsellor and neurodivergent specialist Mark Redwood, who explains the deep impact of masking, why it’s different for neurodivergent people and how creating a life that works with your ADHD rather than against it can transform your wellbeing.
