ADHD doc
@adhddoc.bsky.social
Menopausal #ADHD specialist. Takes one to know one. NHS Psychiatrist. Big interest in ADHD in females and the impact of hormones. Stream of consciousness my own.
Male colleague has asked me to do a talk on ADHD in Women, focusing on the ‘evidence base’. As much as I’d like to respond with how grossly under researched women’s health is in general and the need to just listen to the patient in front of them, I’m going to try and blind him with science! #ADHD

This was a really good watch. Chris Packham was excellent, his interactions were sympathetic and gave those involved plenty of time to talk. And lots resonated here! www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Chris helps a tour guide with ADHD reveal to his parents what’s really going on inside his head, and a project manager come to terms with the mixed emotions of a late diagnosis.

It’s been quite an emotional and turbulent time adjusting to an official diagnosis of #ADHD The most helpful thing has been listening and chatting with my ADHD patients, who seemed to be able to put everything I was feeling into words. And made me listen to my own advice! Here’s to new beginnings!

Bought some kefir the other week as heard it’s good for #ADHD. Its use by date is today so I’ve blended some with the strawberries I didn’t eat the other day that have gone a bit soft. Feeling very virtuous but somehow it’s still easier to stare at it than to actually drink it.

Really lovely card and gifts today from a patient who is moving onto another service. Though the irony of an #ADHD patient giving their doctor, who also has ADHD, a planner was not lost on me 😂

Had my first experience of being referred to as an ‘expert by experience today’. Felt a bit odd, but always nice to be referred to as an expert! #ADHD

Meeting some colleagues in the eating disorders team today to chat about the relationship between #ADHD and disordered eating. Hoping for an interesting and productive discussion!

Have been on Elvanse for two weeks now. Probably not feeling quite as effective but still helping a lot. And I seem to have conquered my crisps addiction which is a very welcome bonus! #ADHD

First day of Elvanse. Nothing totally life changing but no road rage, felt a bit more chilled and think I got a bit more work done than usual. So all good so far! #ADHD

First prescription for #ADHD meds received today. How times have changed. Got a prescription for Elvanse 30mg this afternoon, went to a pharmacy, it was in stock and dispensed within 10 minutes. A little bit terrified to take it, but that’s a job for tomorrow!

The joys of #ADHD - in a cafe and pick up a book and start reading. A nice feel good romcom. Go to buy it on my Kindle when I get home only to find I bought and read it in 2020. Can’t remember a thing about it! So get to read a new book for free 😂

Have been questioning whether I really have #ADHD today, then remembered I haven’t drunk anything all day despite being extremely thirsty and having a bottle of water and flask of coffee in my bag by my feet and still haven’t been to the toilet despite it being just across the corridor.

Got my #ADHD diagnostic report through and apparently my symptoms are severe. I didn’t think I was that bad 😂 Now feeling quite sorry for my family, friends and colleagues. As well as myself. Probably time to think about treatment…

I’m not saying #ADHD runs in families or anything but 15 year old decided he needed to print a 25 page document five minutes before he needed to leave for school. Left him and his dad to it!
