Seed Talks: The Science of ADHD & Psychedelics – Glasgow – Nov 2024

Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder in which the brain develops differently, leading to issues with attention, inhibition of thoughts, movements and emotions. This talk will cover how psychedelics work in the brain, how an ADHD brain looks and functions differently to non-ADHD brains, and the emerging evidence that psychedelics may be an effective therapeutic option for some people with ADHD.

The use of psychedelic drugs as therapeutic treatments for psychiatric disorders have led to their use being suggested for other conditions such as ADHD. Join us and discover how!

Seed Talks: The Science of ADHD: Navigating Neurodiversity in a Neurotypical World – Birmingham – Nov 2024

A simple scroll through Instagram or TikTok and you’ll be left questioning: do I have ADHD? The rise in ADHD in adults is undeniable. But only over the last decade has ADHD been formally recognised in the UK. It has been suggested that about 1.5 million adults in the UK have ADHD but only 120,000 have been diagnosed. Waiting times to access an adult ADHD specialist clinic in the NHS can be up to 2 years or more. It’s hard to find support and help.

From dopamine dips, hits and myths, how ADHD can present differently in women than men, and the neuroscience of neurodiversity; this talk is designed to give you an increased awareness and understanding of an ADHD brain. It will include advice and tips on how to navigate a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent person.

This talk will also highlight how society is demanding change. People are increasingly recognising and accepting neurodiversity and self-defining as neurodivergent. Surely, it’s time for the world to alter neurotypical societal standards as they are fast becoming outdated.

It felt like a really great session with well rounded knowledge and it felt like a safe space with a safe speaker who genuinely cared and understood the shared experience.

A big thank you to James [...] You explain things so well and I LOVE that it’s coming from someone who has first hand experience with ADHD and is still learning about themselves every day too, and so open about their own struggles, it really helps. I have learned a lot from this talk and I really think it could help us both in our relationship. Big thanks for a great talk, I’ll be looking forward to more.

Great balance of science and discussion. I have learned so much and felt part of an incredibly supportive group. Alex presented in a way that met the needs of the group and shared so many observations to help with understanding the content. Hoping there might be more!
