17. Mum's just get to feel like shit for 10 years? Chats with Shantelle Poynter (Part 1)

I was supposed to be interviewing Shantelle on misdiagnosis but we went OFF TOPIC hardcore. I've kept the audio because it's a rant about Mum life that I have with friends at pick up/drop off. Topics covered: - Shantelle's GP was blown aware on her disclosure of the self hatred that comes to ADHD. - Why is it that when a Mum goes to the GP or seeks help she is just told she has post natal depression rather than tested for anything else? - Should we overhaul the Australian education system? - Why is the process to get medication for ADHD so bloody unfriendly to ADHD people - Shantelle's misdiagnosis story and how anti depressants didn't work for her. - Should we medicate our kids? (Jane and Shantelle's personal opinions) - Meeting ourselves and our kids where we are at THAT day - not where society thinks we should be **I wasn't planning on publishing this audio so Shantelle and I have been swearing like sailors throughout and when thinking about medication you should always consult your treating professional** --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jane-mcfadden/message
