Understanding neurodiversity: managing ADHD and getting diagnoses

À propos de cet épisode

<p>It’s ADHD Awareness Month, so Fearne’s reflecting on some of the conversations she’s had about neurodiversity on the show that’ll hopefully help you understand either yourself, or someone you love, even better...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>First, what are the signs and symptoms of ADHD? Do you recognise more of the hyperactive &amp; impulsive symptoms like rashly spending money and substance addiction, or the inattentive ones like problems with working memory and organisation?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then there’s chat about how having undiagnosed ADHD can lead to mental health problems, why there’s so much shame in the neurodivergent community, and how to advocate for your needs in the workplace.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can ADHD be managed with lifestyle factors like nutrition and movement, or might you or a loved one benefit from medication? Plus, why it’s so important to differentiate between neurodivergence and the emotional dysregulation everyone can experience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S32R5YukhYw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch Dr Shy Mashru on What Is How To</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2698b9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Gemma Style’s episode</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/26ccd6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Alex Partridge’s episode</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/136bdc" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Jordan Stephen’s episode</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/264d40" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Lucinda Miller’s episode</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://pod.fo/e/2281ae" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to Kate Silverton’s episode</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
