What was said
"People ask me a lot, is this underdiagnosed or overdiagnosed ADHD? And my answer to that is it's both, right? It's overdiagnosed in some populations and it's wildly underdiagnosed in some."
Hamdani tells Mel Robbins that ADHD diagnosis patterns can vary sharply by community, arguing some patients face scepticism and mislabelling while others are diagnosed too readily. She alleges some racial and socioeconomic groups are more likely to have ADHD overlooked in favour of behavioural labels, while other settings can resemble “a pill mill” for stimulants.
