In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin chats with Jessica, an ADHD advocate and popular YouTuber, about the often misunderstood world of ADHD.

She shares personal stories from her childhood, revealing how negative events at home and school shaped her view of herself. But it's not all doom and gloom; Jessica also offers practical advice on how to work with your brain's natural tendencies instead of against them.

The conversation also touches on the benefits of varied work, seeking treatment, and the role of mindfulness and self-help in managing ADHD. By the end of the episode, listeners will have a deeper understanding of ADHD and some useful tools to improve their mental health. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that challenges stereotypes and offers hope.
