Hyperfocus, oublis, problèmes d’organisation: et si c’était un TDAH ?

What if you discovered at 43 that what you've often called laziness, scattered thinking, immaturity, or lack of willpower actually had a name? What if your lateness, forgetfulness, projects started and then abandoned, emotional outbursts, or moments of hyperfocus weren't moral failings, but rather signs of a neurodevelopmental disorder that's gone undetected? In this episode, we're talking about ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The French National Authority for Health (HAS) estimates that ADHD affects approximately 5% of children and between 2.5% and 3% of adults, representing nearly 2 million people in France. Yet, in adults, identifying it remains difficult. The reasons: insufficient training for professionals and significant delays in diagnosis and treatment. In this new episode of the Health Podcast, Margaux de Frouville and Alain Ducardonnet welcome Olivier Bonnot, professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at Paris-Saclay University and co-author of the book "What if it's ADHD?" published by Marabout, as well as Olivier Laude, graphic designer and illustrator diagnosed with ADHD in 2021 and author of the graphic novel "ADHD" published by Hachette Livre. #adHD #health #podcast
