Why do some adults get diagnosed with ADHD easily—while others are overlooked for years? In this eye-opening session, Dr. Gurdeep Parhar explores how race, culture, gender, and income level shape who gets diagnosed, who gets dismissed, and how care is delivered. You’ll learn how stigma, stereotypes, and healthcare bias create barriers to diagnosis and treatment—especially for those whose struggles are invisible or misunderstood. If you’ve ever felt unseen in the ADHD conversation, this session offers both validation and insight into building a more equitable path forward.
