From CHADD’s Media Vault: Videos and Podcasts for ADHD Awareness Month

Featuring Kathleen Nadeau, PhD

Most conversations about ADHD focus on children and teens—but what happens when they become adults and enter midlife? ADHD doesn’t disappear with age; it simply shows up in new ways. Kathleen Nadeau, PhD, author of more than a dozen books on ADHD, explores what life with ADHD looks like after age fifty. She discusses why more adults are receiving diagnoses later in life, how symptoms can shift over time—especially for women—and what you can do to make daily life easier and more fulfilling. Whether you were diagnosed years ago or are just beginning to ask questions, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and practical steps for thriving in midlife and beyond.
