"If you get accurately diagnosed, and if the treatment is effective, you will learn to distinguish what you have from who you are, and that liberating revelation is really critical to people... All of those criticisms, and all of those lost relationships, and all of those squandered opportunities were an outgrowth of my illness, and not me as a person." - David Goodman, M.D.

This came from a webinar with Dr. David Goodman titled "The Science Behind Diagnosing and Treating ADHD in Older Adults," which explains the nuances of diagnosing and treating ADHD in older adults.
