Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ADHD and attention challenges with Dr Bernice Dodds
Q: Emma asks if there is a purpose to getting diagnosed if no medication is required and only one health discipline is involved?
A diagnosis helps people understand the child's experience, informs school supports and routines, and can reduce secondary stress by enabling tailored strategies and accommodations at home and in the classroom.
ADHD and attention challenges with Dr Bernice Dodds
Q: Julie asks about the meaning of masking and its impact?
Masking is compensating by mimicking peers and following cues to fit in, which can help short-term but increases anxiety, fatigue, and ongoing vigilance, often leading to home fatigue and exhaustion.
ADHD and attention challenges with Dr Bernice Dodds
Q: Anna asks what ADHD looks like for girls or children with complex medical needs?
Girls often show more inattentive symptoms, with internalised dysregulation and subtle social challenges, while medically complex children may have overlaps with sleep, medications, seizures, or metabolic issues that can influence attention; diagnosis remains based on behavioural symptoms and careful consideration of overlays.
ADHD and attention challenges with Dr Bernice Dodds
Q: Amy wants to know, how can you tell the difference between ADHD and naughty behaviour?
ADHD is unintentional and manifests across multiple environments, whereas naughty behavior typically has a clear goal or payoff and may respond to consistent limits and rewards. ADHD behaviour arises from difficulty with attention regulation and impulse control rather than deliberate misbehavior.
Could it be anxiety? with Dr Grace McMahon
Q: When should parents consider medication for anxiety?
Medication may be considered for older children in rarer cases, typically as part of a broader treatment approach including therapy and family supports.
