Episode 8: Challenging the Channel 4 documentary

We are delighted to be joined by two researchers from University 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?
