ADHDの医学生へのインタビューした研究。ADHDは医学部いるとサポートもなくて大変そうだけれど、「共感力やプレッシャー下でもうまく機能する」ADHD特有の強みがある、とも。彼らの強み、そうなんだよ!(いいなあ現象学的研究!) https://t.co/cm8p2f34RX
ADHD and being a medical student "All recognized their ADHD status when their mental health deteriorated during their medical studies. Of those who disclosed their diagnosis, none were offered personalized support." This doesn't need to happen- period https://t.co/c3GKU0XBE0
