We are delighted to be joined by two researchers from Trinity College Dublin who have taken a systematic view of the data on adult ADHD diagnosis, a subject close to all our hearts!

It's a wide-ranging chat with a great celebratory moment at the end!

Their paper, for those who want to dig in, is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42216788/

The rumpelstiltskin paper is also open access: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13150541/

Science is great, isn't it?

ADHDUK Podcast episode 1

Our last episode for a while... Max talks to Dr Blandine French, who not only found a problem (lack of knowledge in UK doctors about ADHD), she got up and did something about it!

She's remarkable, and you can find out all about her at https://ndlab.org.uk/

Bye for now!

Episode 32 with Blandine French

Max is joined by a brilliant double-act, Eve and Helena, who have explored the experience of late-diagnosed women, both from the inside and outside!

Episode 31 Late Diagnosis of women with Eve Holden and Helena Kobayashi-Wood

Max and Tess are joined by Catherine Fava, Clinical Psychologist at Buckinghamshire CAMHS, to talk about her upcoming book about trauma and ADHD. 

How does trauma manifest?

How can it look like ADHD?

Should we be flipping the way we approach assessment and treatment in these children?

Tess tries to open the can of worms which is the whole 'what is ADHD?' question- we have covered that before: https://zencastr.com/z/Mc2qvzd5

Enjoy!
