The link between ADHD, anxiety and depression
Please don't skip over this episode. We know it's longer than usual and that can be really off-putting but it's well worth your time. It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and we're tackling a very important topic: ADHD and mental health. Whilst ADHD isn’t a mental health condition, evidence suggests that if you have ADHD, you're more likely to experience difficulties with your mental health. It can be difficult to untangle what's going on inside your head, and it's not always easy to ask for help.
Vicki George is a clinical nurse specialist and founder of The ADHD Nurse. She joins Sam and Katie to share strategies for managing your mental health alongside your ADHD and offers advice on where to turn if you need extra help and support.
