Paul Whitehouse and Dr Mine Conkbayir on ADHD


Listen Later

Comedy actor Paul Whitehouse and his wife, Dr Mine Conkbayir have turned their focus to ADHD.

Dr Mine is an early years researcher and author and was diagnosed with ADHD in 2023. She talks about how a traumatic childhood shaped her, needing plenty of noise and lights to function and her thoughts around medication.
Her husband, Paul Whitehouse is known for his sketches on The Fast Show and the more sedate Gone Fishing. All about the calm, he’s curious about why so many of his comedy colleagues are also being diagnosed with ADHD.
The couple say why they don’t like the term ADHD, explain what’s meant by dopamining and doom piling and also reveal more about their brand new podcast, ‘I’m ADHD! No you’re not’.
