Why ADHD is NOT a Bloody Trend with Kat Brown

Have you had enough of people saying that 'everyone seems to have ADHD nowadays'? Or 'doesn't everyone have a little bit of ADHD'? Or the infamous 'it's just really on-trend to have ADHD at the moment' - take a breath and get ready to listen to why ADHD is most certainly NOT a trend!

This week's podcast guest is Kat Brown, a freelance journalist and commentator whose work on ADHD, mental health stigma, and other social and art commentary has appeared in national titles, including The Telegraph, Grazia, "Woman’s Hour", Woman’s Health and The Times.
