Why are so many women being diagnosed with ADHD later in life? What does your partner’s penis have to do with your bacterial vaginosis diagnosis?  And when to worry about a lumpy boob.

In this episode, psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr Kieran Kennedy discusses how women often experience more inattentive features of ADHD and why they may try to mask the symptoms. We also talk about time blindness, memory issues and emotional dysregulation.

And is ADHD making you feel more sensitive to rejection? We discuss a condition called rejection sensitive dysphoria.

Over the last four weeks on Well, we've explored everything there is to know about having a vagina and a pelvis. We've done some period mythbusting, delved into endo, PCOS and answered some of your burning questions.

But what's it like to make the life-changing decision to remove your reproductive organs in your your 20s?

Mia Freedman sits down with reality TV star Erin Barnett, who shares how she landed on the decision to get a hysterectomy at 28 and why so many doctors tried to change her mind.

Erin became a public figure after starring on Love Island Australia, and surviving the jungle on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, sharing her difficult journey with Endometriosis and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with her thousands of adoring fans.

How do you start your life over again? We've launched a new show with Madeleine West and we want you to hear it. If you like it, make sure to subscribe to Restart wherever you get your podcasts.

From the outside, Madeleine West had it all. A successful acting career, six beautiful kids, a life in Melbourne and a marriage of 15 years. Until a conversation about placemats made her question, 'Is this really what I want?'.

It was in this moment that, Madeleine West chose to press 'Restart' on her life. It was hard- really hard in fact. So has it all been worth it?

On the first episode of Restart, Madeleine explores something almost half of all Australian adults will go through at some point in their lives: divorce. Madeleine speaks to Divorce Coach & Legal and Separation Strategist (and divorcee) Nikki Parkinson, about the reality of a separation.

PLUS has a truly heartbreaking and hilarious chat with comedian and podcast host Helen Thorne, who marriage became immediately unraveled after she found a love note in her husbands jacket pocket...that wasn't from her.

No stone will be left unturned as Madeleine West explores what it is really like to restart your life.
