A woman who was 32 years old when she was told she had ADHD has admitted she previously experienced years of confusion. Ailín Kennedy says doctors missed diagnosing the serious condition and now she is raising awareness with others affected by the disorder.
The condition was said to have impacted the woman from a young age, as treatments should have been available when she was a child if it had been properly identified. It would have saved Ailín, now 35, from years of struggling with normal activities and issues with mental health, reports CorkBeo.
It can have long-lasting repercussions to live with the disorder without knowing, but she is determined to turn things around, starting her own business, AilsDHD Coaching, which helps to work others through problems and to maximise their enjoyment of life.
