Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crust podcast.
I'm Crystal.
I'm Jisoo.
And I'm Carissa.
Today's topic is actually undiagnosed ADHD.
And this is a topic that we've been super excited to jump into since mental health can kind of be brushed off or swept under the rug in day to day life, especially in asian american communities.
In episode number six, titled damn, I need some therapy, crystal and I actually talked about our personal mental health journeys.
But today we wanted to sit down with our friend Carissa to explore her personal journey with ADHD, specifically.
Carissa, do you want to give a quick introduction of yourself for our listeners?
Yeah.
My name is Carissa.
I'm 22, and I am japanese and Filipino.
So asian american, and, yeah, I have ADHD.
Yeah.
And from our understanding, you actually found out that you got ADHD pretty late in, I guess, like quote unquote late.
Right.
For us because we're still so young.
Can you tell us when you got diagnosed?
I was diagnosed, I think, last year.
