ADHD Certify Patient – Samantha Baines
For many adults, the journey to understanding ADHD starts with a series of unanswered questions. Samantha Baines, an actress, presenter, author, comedian, and mum, found herself struggling with time blindness and an overactive mind made it difficult to focus, especially under stress.
After years of navigating these challenges, Samantha decided it was time to seek answers.
The Diagnosis Process: A Smooth and Supportive Experience
Taking the first step toward an ADHD assessment can feel overwhelming, but Samantha quickly realised there was nothing to be afraid of.
“I’m so glad I got my ADHD diagnosis,” she says. The process with ADHD Certify was straightforward and reassuring. The ADHD clinician was clear and calm throughout, making the whole experience feel welcoming and supportive.
The structured approach made it easier for her to reflect on her experiences, and the comprehensive report gave her a detailed understanding of her ADHD diagnosis.
Life After Diagnosis: A Transformative Change
Receiving an ADHD diagnosis was a turning point for Samantha.
Now officially diagnosed with ADHD Combined Type, Samantha feels empowered. She has a clearer understanding of herself, which helps her navigate life and work more effectively. “It gives me more information about how I can come up with strategies that will help me in my job and in my life.”
Breaking the Stigma: What Everyone Should Know About ADHD
When asked what she wishes more people understood about ADHD, Samantha highlights the importance of awareness and education.
There are different types of ADHD, and many people mask their symptoms to fit in. A diagnosis isn’t just a label—it provides valuable information and strategies that can truly improve quality of life.
By sharing her story, Samantha hopes to encourage others who might be feeling lost or overwhelmed to take that first step toward understanding their own minds.
