Prior to her diagnosis, Josie was struggling but she didn’t understand how much she was struggling with everyday life. She thought everyone struggled like she did.

Josie shares information about Her childhood Her ADHD symptoms in childhood Her ADHD symptoms in young adulthood Her college experience Her experience with medication How she manages her ADHD Her future plans and goals Learn what advice Josie would give to a young woman who really struggles and thinks she might have ADHD?Today, I’m promoting my son Marcus, an NYU graduate, skilled in digital advertising and tech marketing.
