Do We Really Understand ADHD? | AJ Sunglao, RPsy | Life Loading Podcast
Have you ever watched a video about ADHD and thought, "Wait, I do that, too. Does that mean I have ADHD?"' With mental health conversations becoming more accessible, more people are recognizing symptoms they relate to and questioning whether they might have ADHD.
While this growing awareness can help people understand themselves and seek support, it also raises an important question: Do we really understand ADHD, or are we sometimes too quick to put a label on our experiences?

In this ADHD Awareness Month, we sit down with AJ Sunglao, a licensed psychologist, to unpack what ADHD really is, why it can be difficult to recognize, and how its symptoms may overlap with everyday struggles. We also explore how social media has shaped our understanding of ADHD, why self-diagnosis has become more common, and how we can distinguish between relating to certain symptoms and recognizing a condition that may require professional assessment.
Because understanding ourselves is an important part of figuring out life. But sometimes, the first step isn’t finding a label that explains everything. It’s learning to ask the right questions, staying curious about our experiences, and knowing when to seek help.
