S3 EP10: The connection between ADHD and trauma
There's lots of discussion around whether experiences like childhood trauma may be linked to ADHD. Some experts suggest that ADHD may be a coping mechanism developed in response to a trauma, or even that early trauma might trigger ADHD. Others, however, believe that while trauma can intensify ADHD symptoms, it can't cause it. Sam and Katie speak to Dr Max Davie, paediatrician and co-founder of ADHD UK to find out more.
Sam and Katie will be back on Wednesday for the bonus episode of You're Wrong About ADHD. You can get in touch with the team by sending your questions and stories to ADHDpodcast@global.com.
