Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world. 

ADHD is a very prevalent topic in our society that’s driven by the attention war. In a world where people can self-diagnose through a Google search, it’s important that we understand exactly what ADHD is, how it can impact a person’s life and what resources are available for those struggling. 

Niall is joined by Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytical Psychotherapist Dr. Colman Noctor. Colman works with ADHD cases everyday in his clinic and discusses how crucial the context of a child’s life is for diagnosis, why TikTok trends can be both helpful and damaging and what systematic change is needed to assess and support children and adults with ADHD, ADD and other mental health issues.
