Tanya Murphy's journey through depression and misdiagnosis highlights the stigma against mental health issues in certain communities, leading to delayed recognition and treatment.
Ms. Murphy faced pressure in her Christian social circles not to admit mental health challenges, illustrating how societal norms can hinder individuals from seeking help.
After being diagnosed with A.D.H.D. at 53, Ms. Murphy felt liberated, realizing she wasn’t broken or lazy, showing how proper diagnosis can transform lives.
The rising awareness of A.D.H.D. and changing attitudes toward mental health have led to an increase in diagnoses among older Americans, particularly women and people of color.
