Meet Kelly Doran, who bravely challenged her initial Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis and pursued an exploration into her past that led to a new understanding- ADHD. Her story underscores the crucial need for proof in diagnosis, thus placing a high value on old report cards and teachers' comments, which revealed repetitive patterns pointing towards ADHD.
