ADHD Mums

In this episode Jane and Jenny share their stories advocating for their daughters in the Australian school system. Both in public and private schools. What works, what doesn't and why the system fails our little girls. We cover everything from the over worked teachers under fire from parents, principals and the kids, the ratio of teachers aides in schools and how each school gets a different amount of funding. Is the Australian school system flawed at its core? Jenny talks about her 10 year old girl being given academic awards at school whilst having a complete mental health breakdown at home and how no one believed her it was happening. Thankfully this episode finishes on a positive note that Jenny's daughter has had a full recovery and how Jenny helped her overcome it. *Trigger warning, Jenny does briefly mention suicide ideation of her daughter* (However there is a happy ending)--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jane-mcfadden/messageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ADHD MUMS podcast is a safe place where real people with real stories can discuss their struggles with ADHD, motherhood, and life. In this episode, host Jane McFadden talks about the growing awareness of ADHD in women, particularly mothers, and the challenges they face in their daily lives. Jane shares her story of being diagnosed with ADHD in her mid-thirties after experiencing severe burnout and feeling overwhelmed. Research has shown that ADHD symptoms can present differently in women than in men, and many women with ADHD may have gone undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in the past. The demands of motherhood can exacerbate the symptoms of ADHD, and as awareness grows, more women are seeking diagnosis and treatment.
