ADHD Chatter · Oxford Psychiatrist: The Fastest Way To Cure RSD! (New Research) · 4 May 2026 podcast

And we have done some questionnaire studies that show that rejection sensitivity is linked to emotion regulation problems in the context of neurodivergence.

What would be really interesting, and as you and I are talking about it, I'm kind of thinking about how this could play out,

is you could devise a series of experiments, I mean, experiments in the scientific way, whereby you take brain measurements, you know, you could do brain imaging, and at the same time, and this is where

my mentor, Hugo Critchley, has been really pioneering is in combining those types of brain imaging with physiological monitoring.

So heart rate, blood pressure, what you think of as the lie detector test, you know, galvanic skin response.

We could put all of that together.

So we are measuring all of these things.

And you could...

You could get people, some people with ADHD, some people without ADHD, and people have done this in the psychological literature over the years.

You could make them do something in the brain scanner or just around it or in a virtual reality kind of scenario in a headset where you experimentally induce feelings

feelings of rejection so there is a a paradigm i'm not sure i mean i'm sure it would elicit rsd where you basically uh say to someone you have 10 minutes to give a to prepare to give a speech

And people think this is called the Trier stress test.

And so people think that that's actually really going to happen to them.

And you measure their physiology and you can see their heart rates and all of that.

And so I imagine you could absolutely adapt something like that to RSD.

And what would be interesting is not only to adapt it to look at the difference between neurodivergent people or non-neurodivergent people or people...

who seem to have a propensity for trauma versus those who don't, you could also, if you had the money and the research funds and the resources, you could have an intervention to try and reduce it.

Well, it is.

And this is a really interesting thing.

So I remember being fascinated years ago at a conference where people talked about self-harm.
