Menanya's ADHD Diagnosis
Menanya was diagnosed with ADHD about four months ago. The realization came as an 'AHA' moment during a conversation with her grief counselor, who suggested that her hyperactivity and fast-paced thinking might be indicative of ADHD. This diagnosis came as a surprise to Menanya, as she had always attributed her quirks and hyperactivity to her personality. She decided to seek further assessment from a psychiatrist, who confirmed her severe ADHD combined type one after a series of questions. Menanya's emotional response stemmed from the realization that people may perceive her differently than she had thought, and that she may have overworked and exhausted herself in order to succeed professionally.
