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.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Ladakh Erupts in Violence What began as a hunger strike turned into Ladakh's deadliest unrest in years. Four dead, 60+ injured, and Leh under lockdown after protesters demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule protections clashed with security forces, torching buildings and vehicles. Activist Sonam Wangchuk is accused by the Home Ministry of provoking “Arab Spring-style” protests, though he denies it. Talks with Delhi are set for October 6. Private Sector Enters Stealth Race L&T and BEL are teaming up to bid for India's stealth fighter project, the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft. With ₹15,000 crore sanctioned for prototypes, the IAF plans to induct 120 jets by 2035. This marks a major shift from HAL's monopoly as private defense firms compete in India's biggest aerospace contract. India-Australia Organic Pact A new deal recognizes each other's organic certifications, unlocking smoother trade. India exports just $9M worth of organics to Australia today, but the pact could boost prices for farmers and open markets in cereals, spices, tea, and wine. Australia leads with 53M hectares of organic farmland; India has the most organic producers worldwide. Trump's “Triple Sabotage” at UN Donald Trump cried foul after his UN speech was marred by an escalator stop, a dead teleprompter, and sound glitches. He called it “sabotage,” but UN officials said the mishaps were linked to his own team and budget cuts triggered by delayed US payments. Big Boost for Medical Seats The cabinet cleared ₹15,034 crore to add 5,023 MBBS and 5,000 PG seats. India has doubled capacity since 2014, yet 20 lakh aspirants still chase limited spots. The rapid expansion faces hurdles: faculty shortages and unaffordable private fees. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I Started Loving Myself More After Joining Swami's HospitalOn August 15, 1973, a young MBBS graduate from Kasturba Medical College, Bengaluru, began a humble Sunday clinic in the village of Begur. With nothing more than his medical degree, the help of a compounder, and an unshakable determination to serve, he quietly tended to villagers in a corner 33 kilometres from Bengaluru.What started as a small act of service has today blossomed into a movement that provides free healthcare to more than 1,000 patients every week. For over five decades, this dedicated doctor has never missed a single Sunday at his clinic in Begur. In recognition of his lifelong commitment, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2010.Ask him what fuels this unwavering resolve, and he humbly replies:“Baba's message, ‘Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray,' has touched me deeply and given me the strength to carry on and do even more. These hands are not my hands, they are His hands.”Echoing a similar spirit of surrender, Dr Geetanjali Tulapurkar, Head of the Department of Anaesthesia at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield, shares: “It is not me doing anything for the patients. Every patient who comes to Baba's hospital actually heals me. Day by day, I am realising that I am not the doer, and this fills me with a great sense of peace and joy."Both of these eminent physicians were among the inspiring speakers at the Global Medical Conference held in Prasanthi Nilayam in June 2025.

Please join host Jason T. Jacobson, MD, FHRS at HRS 2025 in San Diego as he discusses this article with Marmar Vaseghi, MD, MS, PhD, FHRS and Maynak Sardana, MBBS, MS. The prospective, multicenter, randomized BRAVE trial evaluated epicardial catheter ablation targeting the arrhythmogenic substrate in Brugada syndrome patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent ventricular fibrillation (VF). After a planned interim analysis of 52 patients, ablation significantly reduced VF episodes compared with controls (hazard ratio 0.29; P = .018), prompting early trial termination—approximately 83% remained VF-free after one procedure and 90% after a repeat, with a low complication rate (one hemopericardium). https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-5271(25)02381-1/fulltext?uuid=uuid%3A6285a37b-899f-4fcb-bab8-f79564e1bd57 Host Disclosure(s): J.

We're joined by Dr Atif Magbool at Sidra Medicine who talks to us about the immense challenges and efforts in providing mental healthcare to children and women in crisis-affected areas. Dr Magbool shares his journey into pediatric psychiatry – primarily influenced by early experiences in Sudan – and discusses the significant differences between child and adult psychiatry. The conversation explores the Gaza Patient Program initiated by Sidra Medicine, which offers comprehensive medical, surgical, and psychological care to children affected by the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Dr Magbool also touches upon the remarkable resilience observed in children survivors, the continuous trauma faced by Palestinian children, and the critical need for mental health support during and after war. The dialogue sheds light on the importance of providing a safe and supportive environment for affected children and the broader impact of war on the mental health sector in crisis zones.This episode is in collaboration with Qatar Foundation. 00:00 Introduction01:29 Dr Magbool's Journey into Psychiatry04:32 Understanding Pediatric Psychiatry06:47 The Gaza Patient Program18:42 Challenges in Palestinian Healthcare20:49 Personal Reflections and Emotional Impact30:39 Support for Women in Crisis35:36 Call to Action Dr Atif Magbool is the Lead Consultant for the Inpatient Pediatrics Beds Under Psychiatric Coverage (PBUPC) team and a member of the CAMHS outpatient services at Sidra Medicine.
