Hasnain says:

“But in French's experience, most people eventually embrace their diagnosis and find that it helps them to put support in place and live a better life. This applies to French herself. As with many women, when she was a child her inattention was not seen as disruptive. And as she grew up and moved from France to the UK, her anxiety and depression were not linked to ADHD. It was only on moving to Australia and seeing a new GP that she was referred to an ADHD specialist. At the age of 30, when she finally received an ADHD diagnosis, there was a sense of relief: "It was a very welcome explanation to a lot of the things I was struggling with". “
