ADHD and alcohol dependence: ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, UK

Why is the connection between addiction and ADHD rarely talked about?

If there has been strong addictive patterns in a family, I’d always suspect potential undiagnosed ADHD as well. This awareness needs to be discussed more and we do this week with @_fayelawrence_ on the @adhd_womenswellbeing_pod.

Faye was recently diagnosed with ADHD (combined type) at the age of 48, and is passionate about creating awareness about the strong link between ADHD and alcohol dependence, hoping it might help reduce similar pitfalls for other women.
