Broadcaster Keith Walsh.

Broadcaster and former RTÉ 2FM host Keith Walsh has been on “a bit of a journey” over the past number of years and now, at 49, he has learned that he has ADHD. The diagnosis, he says, explains a lot.

According to ADHD Ireland, ADHD — or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder — is a medical or neurobiological condition in which the brain’s neurotransmitter chemicals, noradrenalin and dopamine, do not work properly.
