Welcome to Episode 8 of F#@% them fish: ADHD for grownups. A big welcome to all our new listeners who have just found our octopus community and a massive hug to all our regular listeners... we love how many of you come back each week and share your stories with us. We love that we can be part of your experience xx

In this episode, we continue the conversation with the fabulous Dr Diana Kirk, and there are lots of laughs! We cover so, so much in the second half of this conversation. Lauchy asks exactly how GPs might broach the subject of ADHD with a patient, we talk about the importance of psychologists within a complete diagnosis and treatment plan for ADHD, and we take a brief look at natural supplements - a drug, is a drug, is a drug! We revisit the challenge when a health professional can't admit they got it wrong when medicine evolves and the importance of vulnerability in any type of leadership. Callie keeps trying not to talk about ADHD and women's health...yet, but we promise to do a full episode soon. Is ADHD genetic? How can you be a good partner to a neurodivergent person? (Turns out Dr Di does actually do marriage counselling...). And so much more.

Sidequests:

• There are a few sidequests into brain biology stuff...it's a thing
• Princess Bitchface... bear with us, it's a parenting strategy
• Someone should use TikTok to research neurodivergence
• How to build a WHAT?? You won't believe what Dr Di's dad taught her!
