Steph Claire Smith Reveals ADHD Diagnosis

Steph Claire Smith, a model and fitness influencer, has publicly shared her recent ADHD diagnosis on her podcast KICPOD, revealing that she feels 'relieved' to finally have an explanation for her lifelong challenges. Inspired by a conversation with fellow influencer Em Rusciano about her own ADHD, Smith decided to pursue a diagnosis, fearing she might not receive one, which could leave her feeling more lost. She described the screening process as daunting but expressed excitement about understanding herself better and finding ways to cope with ADHD. Smith emphasized the importance of sharing her journey with her audience, as she has always been open about her life experiences. Experts have noted that women, like Smith, are often diagnosed later due to the subtler symptoms of ADHD, such as inattention, which are less visible than hyperactivity. This dialogue is particularly significant during ADHD Awareness Month, highlighting the need for increased awareness and understanding of the disorder in women.
