In conversation with Aaria Varma, a person with ADHD and founder of mental health platform Zen Z
Is difficulty in starting a new task a sign of laziness or a symptom of something else? What happens when the world is convinced that you are inattentive, but there are days when you have trouble controlling your excitement? And at what point does behaviour go from entitled and spoilt, to something that is being dictated by a cognitive disorder?
In this episode, discover the lived reality of Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) through the words of 15-year-old Aaria Varma. A person with ADHD, Varma shares her personal experiences with diagnosis, counselling, schooling, friends and her relationship with her own self. The support and understanding needed to overcome the challenges of ADHD begins with awareness of how the disorder really plays out in day-to-day life.
