Adult ADHD: Yes, we are still hyperactive!

August 31, 2026 · 26 min

Show notes

ADHD is for life and not just for childhood but as adults we're still expected to be sensible and calm.

People with hyperactive or combined type ADHD spend a lifetime 'keeping a lid on it.' In this first episode of Series 6 of You're Wrong About ADHD, Sam and Katie discuss what it's like to be hyper when you're expected to conform.

From covering for their ADHD in meetings to feeling like they're flying on a night out, Sam and Katie look at the damage that can be done from trying to hide their ADHD. They also discuss ways they've found to manage their hyperactivity and channel their energy so they can thrive.
