Please listen in to an extended version of the podcast today:

We discuss that late diagnosis of ADHD can be identified, can be managed, and that there are multiple strengths and weaknesses.

I thought it to be important for the variety of listeners of this podcast to understand certain terms, whether you are a mother/father with kids with ADHD, an adult going through an ADHD diagnosis or even a medical doctor wanting to find out more about ADHD.

Term and description from the podcast.

Section 12 Approved Doctor - (Mental Act. UK).Specialist expertise to Assess and diagnose mental disorders to make recommendations if people are at risk to themselves, or others. That they may need hospital admission. These assessments could be completed in police cells or A+E (Accident and Emergency - Hospital) or peoples homes and whether the mental illness can be support at home with their loved ones or rather in a hospital.

Steps Facilitator - Structured type of therapy for people with an emotional unstable personality disorder (was called in the past, border-line personality disorder) from trauma and how they see and act in the world can be distorted. The therapy is to contain the emotional regulation, find helpful ways to manage, when they are in distress and to turn people from more negative ways to more positive ways in their lives.

Dr Sreedaran’s perspective on ADHD and Autism is just so unique and we both hope you can learn so much from this podcast episode today.
