Trigger Warning: Addiction, Mental Illness & Self Harm

In this episode of The Lucie Pod, join me as Thérèse, a social media manager and strategist known as @socialstrategyni on Instagram, shares her ADHD journey. Based in Northern Ireland, Thérèse's exploration into her own neurodiversity began during the COVID-19 lockdown, prompted by her son's ASD diagnosis. She shares the challenges of navigating Northern Ireland's mental health system, from securing a diagnosis to accessing medication. As an advocate not only for herself but also for her son, who is autistic and seeking an ADHD diagnosis, Thérèse delves deep into the complexities of being a neurodiverse parent with a neurodiverse child. Tune in for a passionate and vulnerable conversation all about ADHD parenting love and more!
