For decades, women with ADHD have been overlooked and undiagnosed. That's finally beginning to change. This is where MissUnderstood comes in. MissUnderstood features three original shows from the Understood Podcast Network. They offer candid conversations, expert advice, and practical strategies for navigating the unique challenges and triumphs of being a woman with ADHD.
