When 'Tumse Shaadi Kon Karega?' turns into an ADHD diagnosis | In Conversation with ADHD Indians ep1

Sit down with us as two Indian women with ADHD have a candid conversation about navigating life in India with unique brains and bright spirits. Here we unveil our lived realities — beyond stereotypes, hidden by societal expectations. We open up about the relentless pressure to mask our quirks and struggles, “cosplaying normal” just to fit in, while constantly being told we’re too loud, too weird, or not meeting impossible standards. For years, we were dismissed as “lazy,” “careless,” or “not serious enough”— forced to silence ourselves and over-compensate, only to feel like outcasts in our own families and communities. 💬 What to Expect Raw honesty about the Indian experience with ADHD (specially women) Tips and insights for thriving as a woman with ADHD Discussion on mental health, relationships, work, and family Hope, humor, and wisdom from lived experience 🎙️ What We Discuss How Indian culture conditions girls to be quiet, perfect, and always in control—and what happens when your mind just doesn’t work that way. The exhausting work of masking: hiding hyperactivity, emotional excitement, forgetfulness, and the shame that comes with being labeled “lazy” or “weird”. The pain and isolation of not living up to gendered standards, struggling with self-esteem, and being misunderstood — even by those closest to us. Finding strength in vulnerability and finding community despite feeling outcasted and misunderstood. The life-changing relief, perspective shift, and peace that finally comes with an ADHD diagnosis — reframing those years of struggle as part of who we are, not just personal failings. This is a raw, unfiltered glimpse into what it means to be an Indian woman living with ADHD—one filled with resilience, laughter, and hard-earned wisdom. We share our personal stories, daily challenges, triumphs, and the special quirks that come with being female ADHDers in a place where neurodiversity is still misunderstood. From stigma, family expectations, and educational struggles to finding community, hacks that make life easier, and moments of joy — this heartfelt chat offers support, laughter, and real talk for anyone seeking understanding or solidarity. Whether you’re on your own journey, or just want to hear stories that break the silence, join us and know: you are not alone. No matter where you’re from, if you relate to the ups and downs of living with ADHD, or just want to know what it’s really like for women in India, you’ll find connection and comfort in this conversation. 🎀 For more health content by the cutest doctor, go find Falak's Instagram here:   / dr.falakjoshipura   While you're at it, find me too hehe:   / yourswriterly   OR at X/ Twitter: https://x.com/yourswriterly Hit me up for a conversation on ADHD and mental health!
