- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- Kat Brown is an author & journalist whose work on mental health stigma and other social and entertainment commentary has appeared in The Telegraph, The Times and The Guardian. Her first book, No One Talks About This Stuff, is an anthology sharing people’s untold experiences of infertility and baby loss. Her second book, It's Not A Bloody Trend: Understanding Life as an ADHD Adult, was published a month before her first, which is a ridiculousness she really enjoys.
Interviewed by Dr Alex Curmi. If you would like to enquire about an online psychotherapy appointment with Dr. Alex, you can email - alexcurmitherapy@gmail.com.

validation. Being validated. Knowing one is "different" and why strategy is everything. Makes life so, so much easier, doable.
'Doing life on hard mode' - that really touched me. Thank you
The brilliant Kat Brown , love this interview and her book is wonderful!
"Civility" and "humility". Thank you. Oh Kat, thank you.
Just bought your book, Kat. Very much looking forward to reading it. Awaiting my diagnosis at 62. Thank you!
Thank you Kat, I can relate to so much of what you’re saying, and yes!! your approach to healthy eating and exercise makes sense. It’s specific and achievable.
This is a fantastic conversation, thank you both. ❤
@@mariabuckley1749 Thanks Maria!
She is simply awesome xxx and I don’t think it’s at all easy to be this brilliant, helpful, credible; vulnerable not the right word - change the word for awesome basically and she helped me change mine & it’s not easy but it sooooo much better xxx
I love Kat and how she explains ADHD.
Love this. Also, ring-tailed Lemurs. And thank you Kat Brown
So much truth here :)
"malady". Yes! Like, an excuse in inverted commas, or avoidable if one is "better" or less lazy. Absolutely right.
I’ve been put on antidepressants on and off my whole life for anxiety .. I now know I have adhd .. the SSRIs REALLY messed me up and I’m still suffering with post SSRI withdrawal syndrome .. this is not a remission of “my anxiety” but a very real withdrawal .. I stopped taking escitalopram 5 months ago .. I took 5 months to wean myself off only 5mg and I’m still suffering now
same withdrawal after taking myself off of the same SSRI. i actually went back on because I couldnt deal with myself anymore, to the point of self harm. Im going to try St. Johns Wort and Brain On recommended by Dr. Amen in addition, tweak my diet and move my body more, hoping one day I can wean myself off again =/
Any one know if anything came of the adhd subtype dubbed hypokalemic sensory overstimulation? I ask as myself and offspring are showing signs and the NHS are pretty ignorant to it!
Interesting I never heard that term
disabled people can't use "exercise" as strategy, just saying. (disabled whole adult life because bone cancer as a kid).
Kat, an aside... I would love you to actually swear rather than use a word invented to help supress actual emotion. x
