Dr Diana Mercado is a family physician in Texas, currently serving as clinic medical director at Jackson County Hospital District, and her passion for becoming a physician was born from her experience as the daughter of Mexican immigrant workers. She saw that many immigrants did not seek medical care, and wanted to become a physician so that minority patients would have a doctor who spoke their language and looked like them. Another passion of Diana’s is helping physicians with ADHD. She was diagnosed as a medical student and during our interview we talk about the shame that sometimes accompanies such a diagnosis, especially in a high-intensity field like medicine, and how that impacted her ability to get treatment and delayed the realization that ADHD is a neutral situation that you can choose to see as something wonderful. Because of that experience, Dr. Mercado has now gotten certified as a coach through the Life Coach School and serves Physicians with ADHD as a coach, helping them with time management, mind management, and seeing their superpowers. Many physicians, about 5%, have ADHD, and many more of us have children, spouses, loved ones and patients with it, and understanding it better can go a long way to releasing the stigma and empowering those with ADHD to use their differences as an advantage.
