Episode 287: Doubting Your Own Trauma & ADHD Misdiagnosis

Hello, friends! This episode features two questions related to trauma. There is nothing violent or explicit described, but both questions do involve childhood abuse. Just be aware. Here is what is covered in this episode:

• I sometimes doubt that my trauma ever happened and use self-harm as a way to remind myself that it did. What can I do?
• I have several psychiatric disorders and my psychiatrist wants me to be evaluated for ADHD. How can I tell the difference between ADHD and symptoms caused by my other issues?

As always, you can send me questions to [e-mail] and find the show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode287
