An Overview of ADHD – Causes, Presentation, Assessment, Treatment and Suggestions for Employment Support

This Episode is the second on the series. It explores the lasting impact of traumatic events on mental health and well-being. Very briefly we discover the automatic coping responses our minds and bodies have developed over thousands of years: fighting, fleeing, freezing, submitting, and dissociating. Gain insight into the brain's intricate processing of trauma through the thalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus. The thalamus acts as a gatekeeper, assessing information for threats and signalling the amygdala. The amygdala, the brain's alarm centre, releases stress hormones to prepare the body for action. The hippocampus, like a filing clerk, compares traumatic memories to determine the level of threat. Understand how trauma memories are stored differently, causing confusion and strong emotions. Experience how triggering a traumatic memory activates the amygdala, leading to the release of stress hormones and feelings of terror or numbness. Join us on this transformative journey as we delve into the complexities of trauma and its effects on our minds and bodies. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to "Unveiling Trauma: Understanding and Healing," a podcast episode that gives a brief view into the complex world of trauma and its profound impact on individuals. In each episode, we explore the various facets of trauma, from its definition to its effects on mental health and relationships. Through insightful discussions and personal stories, we shed light on the often-overlooked experiences of those who have endured trauma. In the first part of our series, we examine how trauma manifests in individuals' lives, even if they may not initially recognize it as such. We explore the wide range of traumatic events, from one-time incidents to prolonged periods of abuse, known as complex trauma. We delve into the lasting effects trauma can have on one's trust, emotions, and perception of reality. Moreover, we address the connection between trauma and mental health disorders such as PTSD and the significance of seeking support. Join me on this empowering journey as we unravel the complexities of trauma and provide insights, resources, and hope for those seeking healing and transformation.

There have been more discussions about ADHD, and some people has contacted me about further information. Not knowing enough, decided to invite a professional, Ryan W., who works in a Child and Young People Services, and is a nurse prescriber and assessor of ADHD. In an informal way, we will have a discussion on ADHD and elements such as possible causes, what looks like in adults and children, and how may be assessed. We explore some recent documentaries on ADHD private clinics and look at what is Ryan’s view on this. As I say in the episode, I am not expert on ADHD and therapies for it, and I am learning as much as you will. We try not to be too technical, and use little jargon, sometimes hard to do so. If you need some clarification, please drop me an email to [email protected] . This podcast is informational, and we advise you to seek support through a professional that is registered with a governing body (NMC, GMC, HCPC), and visit your general practitioner to enquiry about private referrals if you wish. Please follow me or like the podcast if you wish, and share it with others. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for all of you who have listened so far to this Series. Hope it has been helpful. Some of you have answered their team/leaders are not supportive of mental health, so decided to put a brief episode on what managers can do to support staff. Sometimes it is difficult to overcome difficulties, as there may be team dynamics, institutions cultures and other elements playing a part on the support and interactions between employees, managers and institutions.
