About this listen

 I had my first anxiety attack in a classroom when I was 6 years old. I started LADBible when I was 22 years old. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 34. Suddenly, everything made sense. Join me every Tuesday as I chat with leading experts, celebrities and psychiatrists. This is the podcast I wish I heard when I was younger. None of us are broken, just different. We have all always been enough. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.Alex Partridge Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

My therapist recently suggested I probably have ADHD and the more I research the more light bulb moments I have. The superb knowledgable guests on this podcasts have been vital to help me understand my special mind. Thank you.

Invaluable

I wish that I'd had the information that I've garnered in these podcasts at the beginning of my teaching career. It would have helped me to support those children that needed it. These are so interesting, varied and entertaining and, most importantly, informative and validating.

Informative, educational & genuinely fascinating.
