An absolute pleasure to have this conversation with Jane about the Health care Industry with regards to ADHD assessments.

A look what people could look for when navigating the journey into deciding which clinic to go to as well as the N.I.C.E guidelines (for England) and best practices.

It is a journey not to be taken lightly, so the correct information is a powerful tool to help you find your way.

* (As stated in the podcast, this is not a paid or unpaid advert or promotion for The Makewell Clinic. The podcast is about the industry and to help people understand what to look for when researching clinics to go to in England. I have used this clinic for my own diagnosis and chose to ask them to speak on my podcast as I have first hand experience of their assessment process, therefore giving myself confidence in the information given).

In this episode and the finale of season 4, I have the privilege of having a conversation with ADHD Coach and Neurodiversity Trainer Caitlin Whitmore, about what it has been like being diagnosed later in life with ADHD.

Our conversation covers what life was like prior to the diagnosis and if she had prior knowledge about ADHD whilst navigating the struggles that were presented.

We talk about the various aspects of life including constant burnout, overwhelm, the feeling of being lost and the assessment and waiting lists.

The conversation touches so many areas of Caitlin's life and explains why she went for the assessment, how she felt after the diagnosis and ultimately her choices in life leading to where she is now.

A fascinating story and although a common rollercoaster of emotions and mental health, ends with so much positivity about the way forward and how Caitlin now approaches life and her need to help others with ND minds.

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.
