I'm back, after a bit of a break caused mostly by crappy health, so what better time than to take a look at how ADHD intersects with health. I look at the myriad ways in which ADHD actually causes or leads to certain conditions and how treatment for them excludes ADHDers, at how ADHD can affect lifestyle, which in turn impacts health and recovery, how ADHD can cause us to react mentally and emotionally to ill health, and finally at the appalling way that too many health care professionals treat people with ADHD. I also cover some of the ways ADHD impacts women hormonally throughout our lives.

So pop a couple of paracetamol, get comfy on your orthopedic wedge pillow, put your glasses on your head so you can squint at your screen to work out where to press play (or is this just me?), and learn all about the interplay of ADHD and health...

We hear so much about how difficult life can be with ADHD - and it can be, and it is - but there are also some great things about having ADHD, and in this episode, I talk about just some of them, from being funny as fuck to punching killer alsatians to telling nazis to stick it up their fat arseholes. So join me in this celebration of the plus sides of ADHD (and feel your age as you remember you still know Kate Pierson's dance in the Shiny Happy People video)...

In this episode, I have a lovely chat about how cool it actually is to be 50 and all the good stuff there is about being middle-aged, how important it is to not be scared of pain and to turn it into a positive, and talk about all the positive stuff that's been happening for me since I turned 50 and started doing this podcast. Because it's about time somebody remembered to talk about Gen X, yeah? *eye roll*

PS Some sort of prize to anyone who remembers where the name of this episode is from
