Access All: Disability News and Mental Health

ADHD and the trend of diagnosis by TikTok


Listen Later

With more than 20 billion views of the hashtag #ADHD, some people have turned to TikTok to self-diagnose the condition rather than wait for a formal assessment.

BBC journalist, Ben Moore, investigates for Access All having started his own pathway to diagnosis on the social media platform. Henry Shelford from ADHD UK gives advice on what to do if all this sounds very familiar. And why he thinks the name of the condition doesn't accurately reflect what it is.
And British Comedian of the Year, Dan Tiernan, joins Nikki Fox and Emma Tracey to talk about his dyspraxia, life on the comedy circuit and the number of jobs he was sacked from.
Produced by: Keiligh Baker, Amy Elizabeth and Emma Tracey
Recorded and mixed by: Dave O'Neill
Series editor: Beth Rose
Editor: Damon Rose
