Mia Skäringer stars in SVT drama series "Diagnoser" about ADHD

Swedish actress Mia Skäringer stars in the new SVT drama series "Diagnoser," marking her departure from comedy to portray a single mother whose life is disrupted when her son undergoes assessment for a neuropsychiatric disability. Skäringer, who received her own ADHD diagnosis as an adult, draws on personal family experience with NPF diagnoses. She says women often hide inner chaos behind a facade, adding that "it's not the ADHD itself that burned me out, but all attempts to play normal." The actress hopes the series will encourage schools and society to see the whole child behind difficult behavior, warning that children who aren't caught early may seek validation in the wrong places. She emphasizes the show is for the entire family, not just those familiar with NPF.
