I'm really torn on this, because on one hand the over generalization of ADHD prevented me - and is still preventing me - from taking my own diagnosis too seriously, but that same information got me to at least think about it and get a consult with a psychiatrist on it in the first place.
It helped the diagnosis but not the feelings of being an imposter post-diagnosis.
Dr Russell Barkley is, as far as I can tell, the world’s foremost expert on ADHD.
He’s got lectures that I found engaging enough to watch, and shorter videos on various subjects-topics.
Watching his stuff, it felt very validating and enlightening and helped push me past my imposter feelings.
