What Makes ADHD Burnout So Different?

Amy candidly shares her lived experience, highlighting how burnout differs from depression and occupational burnout, and the impact it can cause to sensory tolerance and executive functioning. Emma and Amy unpack what accessible, neurodiversity-affirming care looks like in practice. From working with individual strengths and tailoring communication, to creating flexible, collaborative spaces, they explore practical ways that practitioners can reduce barriers and truly support neurodivergent people in engaging with care.  This episode is essential listening for health practitioners, mental health professionals, and anyone supporting people with ADHD.
