​Mum’s Just Get to Feel Like Shit for 10 Years?

I was supposed to be interviewing Shantelle on misdiagnosis but we went OFF TOPIC hardcore. I’ve kept the audio because it’s a rant about Mum life that I have with friends at pick up/drop off.

Topics covered:

  • Shantelle’s GP was blown aware on her disclosure of the self hatred that comes to ADHD.
  • Why is it that when a Mum goes to the GP or seeks help she is just told she has post natal depression rather than tested for anything else?
  • Should we overhaul the Australian education system?
  • Why is the process to get medication for ADHD so bloody unfriendly to ADHD people
  • Shantelle’s misdiagnosis story and how anti depressants didn’t work for her.
  • Should we medicate our kids? (Jane and Shantelle’s personal opinions)
  • Meeting ourselves and our kids where we are at THAT day – not where society thinks we should be

**I wasn’t planning on publishing this audio so Shantelle and I have been swearing like sailors throughout and when thinking about medication you should always consult your treating professional**

Please if you have some tips send me a VM and I’ll play it next episode or send me a DM.
