Since then, she has experienced, treatment, healing, acceptance, setbacks, and self-awareness. Marcelle has attended college many times, held many jobs, and has lived in more cities than she can count. Her story illuminates the parallels between PTSD and ADHD, what it’s like living with both conditions and how the disorders can contribute to the cycle of family violence.
