In this eye-opening episode of The Echo and Encourage Podcast, Hannah Abbott sits down once again with the brilliant and compassionate Dr. Linda Jackson, DNP, PMHNP, FNP a psychiatric nurse practitioner and educator.

Dr. Jackson explains what ADHD actually is—a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a character flaw or a spiritual deficit—and why so many women slip through the cracks and aren’t diagnosed until adulthood. From inattentiveness that masquerades as daydreaming, to internal restlessness that’s often mislabeled as anxiety, this conversation brings clarity, destigmatizes treatment, and offers hope. Hannah shares her own journey of late diagnosis and the transformation she experienced once she found the right treatment plan. Together, they explore: ✨ What ADHD really looks like in adults—especially women ✨ The differences between stimulants and non-stimulants ✨ How faith, healing, and medication can beautifully coexist ✨ The connection between ADHD, anxiety, and depression ✨ What testing and treatment actually involve Whether you’re wondering if you might have ADHD, love someone who does, or simply want to grow in compassion and understanding, this episode is packed with wisdom, science, and encouragement. If your mind has felt like chaos instead of clarity—there is hope. Support is not shameful. Healing is holy.
