In this special chat Em gets to sit down with a man who’s work on social media has really saved her, Dr. Perry Mandanis. Em first stumbled on Dr Perry’s work after a number of Emsolation listeners shared his Instagram Reels with her. As a psychiatrist, therapist and coach, Dr. Perry draws on 30 years of experience to deliver plain speaking advice and tips on ADHD and anxiety. Now Em sits down with Dr. Perry to grill him on all of the things, from why so many women are now being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, just like Em was at 42, to whether you should even bother getting a diagnosis if you feel like you may have it. There’s also tips on what to do before you even approach your Doctor for a diagnosis, how to be a supportive partner of someone with ADHD and even how to manage the grief you might feel after being diagnosed with ADHD. If you experience emotional distress as a result of listening, please reach out to someone you trust and/or call Lifeline on 13 11 14 at any time. If life is in danger, please call 000.
