Excellent

So incredibly helpful and insightful. Really resonates for what I see for my young son and also found the research around women's mental health, menopause and ADHD very interesting

Thanks for this fantastic discussion, the information is extremely helpful and Dr Mashru is an exceptional speaker. As a late-diagnosed ADHDer myself (37 y.o. male), it helped me piece together my history and how struggles with emotional disregulation led me to being prescribed SSRIs and SNRIs for 15yrs which had a numbing effect without providing any tangible benefits. Thank you Henry for making this available .

Wow, thanks gentlemen. I’m with you Henry on how raw some of that was. That fundraising message really hit home as well. How difficult it must be where you don’t have a physically obvious and outwardly life limiting condition that shakes its own tin.

Thank you for this most insightful and empathetic discussion and for including the effects of hormonal changes on females and the differences in female presentation of ADHD (females were excluded from studies for many years due to hormone fluctuations qualifying them ‘unfit’ for studies, and the studies focusing on women began only for the last few years). Would you please organise a discussion on therapeutic interventions? Dr Mashru mentioned techniques such as distraction, which is used for children but also might work for adults. Most therapists are entirely unaware of ADHD’s impact on trauma response, cognition, and emotional dysregulation and receiving interventions developed for neurotypicals doesn't help. ADHD coaching is a mixed bag and not regulated by a professional body; I heard that some are just offering pep talk, which is ineffective.

Thanks (hearing the reality)

Thank you for this. It is very much my experience and I can majority of the time say exactly what triggered it. I am less than 4 years since diagnosis and I’m 48. I have a friend who has been treated for decades with SSRI’s for depression but is fighting for ADHD diagnosis now.

Is there a podcast / offline option for this that doesn’t require subscription?
