In this episode of More Yourself, I wanted to share a clip from a recent ADHD Women's Wellbeing live session that explored the concept of generativity versus stagnation —a theme that is very prevalent among late-diagnosed ADHD women.This concept, rooted in Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory, invites us to reflect on how we create meaning and contribute to our own lives and to others as we move through the different stages of adulthood. For those of us who received a diagnosis later in life, this understanding can be transformative. It reminds us that our diagnosis isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new chapter.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What I discuss:Erikson's 8 stages of psychosocial development viewed through a neurodivergent lens.The impact of unconscious masking on ADHD traits and energy levels.The concept of generativity vs. stagnation for late-diagnosed ADHD women.Seeing a late diagnosis as a new chapter for authenticity and evolution.The role of meaningful connection in women's reconnection with their identity post-diagnosis.The power of embracing change in midlife and beyond.Timestamps00:33 – Understanding ADHD and Psychosocial Development03:30 – Overview of Erikson's 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development05:26 – Life Stages Through a Neurodivergent Lens07:17 – Generativity vs. Stagnation Explained07:54 – Generativity as a New Chapter of Potential09:40 – Embracing Change and Authenticity12:16 – Closing Reflections and Personal GrowthJoin the More Yourself Community - the doors are now open!More Yourself is a compassionate space for late-diagnosed ADHD women to connect, reflect, and come home to who they really are.

In honour of ADHD Awareness Month, we're excited to share a special short episode on Adult ADHD, presented by Dr. Smita Verma.The concept of normality is pivotal in diagnosing adult ADHD, as common behaviours like distractibility or impulsivity, universal to human experience, only warrant a diagnosis when they cause significant functional impairment in specific contexts. A global shortage of ADHD stimulants reflects rising demand, with social media platforms like TikTok being one of the contributing factors. On TikTok, #adhdtest videos often oversimplify ADHD, as evident during my research on the quality of information on #adhdtest, presenting normal behaviours like forgetfulness as diagnostic, while trends like “SLAY-DHD” glamorise the condition, encouraging self-diagnosis. Diagnosing adult ADHD is complex due to subjective symptom assessment, necessitating careful differentiation between normal responses to modern life's demands and pathological symptoms. Clinicians must consider cultural, personal, and environmental contexts, using collateral input to validate childhood impairments and rule out conditions like anxiety or burnout, ensuring accurate diagnosis and judicious stimulant use, given their uncertain long-term safety. Dr Smita Verma, MBBS is a psychiatry registrar at Waikato Hospital's Mental Health & Addiction Services in Hamilton, New Zealand, currently pursuing a Certificate in Adult Psychiatry through the RANZCP training program. Topic suggestion:If you have a topic suggestion or would like to participate in a future episode of Psych Matters, we'd love to hear from you.Please contact us by email at: psychmatters.feedback@ranzcp.orgDisclaimer:This podcast is provided to you for information purposes only and to provide a broad public understanding of various mental health topics.

This week, André, The Impulsive Thinker™, reflects on a powerful conversation with Dr. Bill Dodson about how ADHD presents differently in women and why many women and girls still fly under the radar.

Tune in for real talk and actionable insights for the ADHD Entrepreneur.

ADHD is an executive functioning impairment. The major executive function is self-regulation. There are two things you need to regulate: one is your attention, and the other is your emotions. Whether you realize it or not, when your attention is dysregulated, so are your emotions.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD and attention coach Jeff Copper (https://www.digcoaching.com) talks to mindfulness ADHD coach Dana Crews (https://secondarrowadhdcoaching.com) about the nature of emotional self-regulation and what's involved in regulating emotions. Jeff and Dana confront the big challenges associated with emotional regulation, identify what can be done, and help you emotionally deal with the fact that there's no easy way getting around it—this is a challenge. But with the right type of support, it can be done.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attention deficit disorder, including managing symptoms of ADHD in adults with ADD or adults who have children with ADHD.

Rachel Griffiths says she just got through her "peak mid-hell years" and she's here to tell us how. The actor, producer, and director has had many eras - from the "fast start" of Muriel's Wedding to being a Hollywood awards darling, a big-deal US TV star, the director of the Australian classic movie Ride Like A Girl, the co-creator of Total Control and now, the star of the TV show Madam. Through all that, she was also wrestling with the relatable MID dramas - parenting teens and young adults, a diagnosis that made sense of so much, caring for ageing relatives and trying to keep a long-term marriage going. No wonder, as she tells host Holly Wainwright, she and her husband needed a sabbatical. This conversation also veers off into ageing, the Hollywood stars Rachel used to envy but no longer does, how to stay optimistic in a tumultuous world and the relief of finding out she's "ADHD AF".

In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I explore the rise in ADHD diagnoses among children in the U.S. and discuss the factors contributing to this growing concern.With 1 in 9 children now diagnosed and over half experiencing moderate to severe cases, ADHD is affecting millions of families. But what's behind this increase? Could it be improved awareness and diagnosis, or are other factors playing a role?Join me as I discuss the potential impact of environmental exposures, pandemic-related stress, and other surprising contributors. We'll review the latest data from the CDC, discuss the 1 million increase in diagnoses since 2016, and explore natural approaches to managing ADHD.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Accelerated Cogniblast® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/cogniblast-nootropic • Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Methylene Blue™ https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-methylene-blue-supplement • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement • Accelerated Fast™ https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-fast-supplement • Accelerated Leaky Gut Bundle https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-leaky-gut-bundle Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in college. While I'd like to think that was like 5 years ago, it was actually a lot longer. It was much harder to get a diagnosis back then. In fact, the ADHD diagnosis process was different 5 years ago when I started my podcast.It's 2024 now, and I'm thrilled to say it's easier than ever before for adults to get an ADHD diagnosis. This isn't me saying it's easier to FOOL clinicians into falsely diagnosing you. I mean it's easier for people who have ADHD to get an accurate diagnosis. How so?We've got more access to info than we've ever had. People are more willing to share their experiences with ADHD, which is helping lessen the stigma around mental health.The medical field is finally catching up with science. It wasn't until the '90s that doctors realized most children do NOT grow out of ADHD. Adults are finally getting diagnosed!We're living in a highly digital world, which means we're now able to get assessed and treated online. This is huge.So, how do you go about getting diagnosed with ADHD? In this podcast episode, I'm sharing the 3 steps you need to take if you're ready for a formal assessment, including links for an online diagnosis.PS - if you know somebody who suspects they have ADHD but hasn't gotten a diagnosis or been evaluated for it, send them this podcast episode to help them gain some clarity.Shownotes links:The ASRS-5 assessmentOnline ADHD resources for the USDoneCircle MedicalADHD OnlineOnline ADHD resources for CanadaFridaCentre for ADHD Awareness, CanadaFind a clinician who can help you across state linesPsypact mapHang out with me on Instagram HERE.AG1 by Athletic Greens.
