Have you ever felt like a fraud, even in the work you know best? Dr. Nerissa Bauer has. After years as a researcher, teacher, and children’s doctor, burnout led her to step away from academia. Not long after, she found out she had ADHD herself. At first, the diagnosis left her embarrassed and full of questions. How could she have missed it for so long?That turning point brought both sadness and relief, and it changed the way she connects with families. Since then, Nerissa has built a new path in telehealth and started Teach Me ADHD, an online course for families. In this episode, she talks about how burnout and her own ADHD diagnosis reshaped her work — and how they help her show up more honestly for others.For more on this topic<ul><li>Nerissa’s organization, <a href="https://www.letstalkkidshealth.org/">Let’s Talk Kids Health</a></li><li><a href="https://www.understood.org/en/articles/adhd-burnout">ADHD burnout</a></li><li><a href="https://www.understood.org/en/podcasts/missunderstood/adhd-women-imposter-syndrome">ADHD and: Imposter syndrome</a></li></ul>Timestamps(00:00) Intro(01:23) ADHD and burnout, and losing structure(08:23) Nerissa’s ADHD evaluation as a physician herself, and imposter syndrome(16:42) What is the value of an ADHD diagnosis as an adult?
