Me and ADHD Podcast

Season 4, Episode 7. ADHD and ARFID

In this episode we have returning guest and dietitian Jade Morrison. In an extension to our last conversation, we have a well needed discussion about the eating disorder 'ARFID' and the links with ADHD. We talk about the types of ARFID, what it all means, how we can approach this as a parent, and how we need to change our outlook on food & nutrition in order to support our children who are going through this struggle.......because it is a struggle and not a choice! If you wish to know a little more about ARFID, follow Jade's journey, or talk to Jade about her services as a dietitian, please see the links below. ⁠⁠https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/about-eating-disorders/types/arfid/⁠⁠ [https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/get-information-and-support/about-eating-disorders/types/arfid/] ⁠⁠https://www.arfidawarenessuk.org/⁠⁠ [https://www.arfidawarenessuk.org/] ⁠⁠https://firststepsed.co.uk/services-and-support/arfid/⁠⁠ [https://firststepsed.co.uk/services-and-support/arfid/] ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/jlm.audhd.dietitian⁠ [https://linktr.ee/jlm.audhd.dietitian]

Season 4, Episode 6. Postpartum ADHD

In this episode we concentrates on the hormone fluctuations postpartum and how having a baby can affect your ADHD presentations. For this subject I have returning guest Psychotherapist and new mother Kate Hough joining me for this deep and meaningful conversation. Kate speaks openly about the hormones that fluctuates during and after pregnancy and how they can affect your ADHD and mental health as well as what happens after childbirth when the hormone levels re-adjust all over again. Knowing what can happen is vital to be able to implement strategies to support yourself, with systems such as revised birth plans, informing the midwife team on the environment that you need and what role they can play in supporting you and therapy all playing a part.

Season 4, Episode 5. 'Our Story!'

In this brand new episode, I will be having a conversation with Youth Ambassador Ella Bannister.Ella talks openly about the devastating effects of the NHS waiting lists and lack of any real support for ADHD and ASD assessments in our home county of Oxfordshire. This crisis goes far beyond trying to balance the financial books. This is something that affects thousands of individuals, families, relationships, friendships, careers and the mental health of those who are affected by this crisis. This episode is about Ella, it's about me, it's about you, and it's about everyone affected by this inadequate and seemingly worsening system that ignores and makes light of the support that so many are so desperate for. This is "Our Story!" If you feel anxious, sad, confused, or just not right, let us know - The Abingdon Bridge is there to support you! The Abingdon Bridge (TAB) provides support to those between 13 to 25 years of age. All of their guidance and emotional support is free and confidential.⁠⁠https://www.theabingdonbridge.org.uk/⁠⁠ [⁠⁠https://www.theabingdonbridge.org.uk/⁠⁠] Our Oxfordshire based ADHD peer-to-peer support group is a community of adults, who are either on an ADHD journey themselves or are parents/carers of a child with diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD.
