An event set to be hosted at Leadmill Sheffield is aimed at tackling the stigma surrounding ADHD.
ADHD specialist Jane McPhillips aims to make information more accessible for people who found it hard on concentrating during the event.
She said: “I want people to know about their strengths when discovering ADHD, especially the high achievers.”
ADHD is a neurodevelopment disorder characterised by symptoms such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Researchers from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) found that the prevalence of ADHD in adults in the UK is estimated at 3% to 4%, with a male-to-female ratio of approximately 3:1.
The number is still growing as the social pressure increases.
Mrs McPhillips, in the event, will reveal her reality with ADHD during her period of menopause, and give the audience the tools to explain how people have such extreme experiences and how to find the balance both in relationship and work.
She said: “It’s difficult for me to concentrate on work and life when my hormones change during menopause. I quit my job and started to work from home and discovered how ADHD changed my life.”
Mrs McPhillips discovered the tools and techniques that can be harnessed to help manage life with ADHD more effectively.
Audiences without ADHD diagnosis, those who think you may have ADHD, or know someone close to you who do are welcome to the talk on Tuesday night.
“When ADHD comes, you cannot control your mind. We have to find out how the neuro works.” Jane Phillips explained.
Support after the event will also connect people with each other and help build an ADHD network.
Event will be at the Leadmill on Tuesday 30 April, ticket are available to purchase at the Leadmill Official Website:
