The Masking Expert: '97% of ADHD women can’t unmask until they learn THIS!' | Dana Dzamic

Listen to this episode from ADHD Chatter on Spotify. Dana Dzamic is an ADHD coach and consultant specialising in masking in women. Dana has helped thousands of ADHD women understand themselves and feel less isolated in their ADHD experience. The ADHD Chatter team have mistakenly referred to Dana as a doctor. This is incorrect and we wish to make that clear that Dana is not a doctor. Further, Dana has made us aware that she does not view herself as a 'world leading' ADHD expert, but rather an ADHD expert.
