I’m ADHD! No You’re Not

September 2024 saw the launch of a brand new podcast all about ADHD from Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE and her partner, the actor, writer, comedian and broadcaster Paul Whitehouse.

The new podcast, entitled I’m ADHD! No You’re Not, tackles many of the popular myths about ADHD including the very idea that it is a “disorder” or “disability”. It aims to challenge some of the stereotypes and accentuate some of the positives around having ADHD with help from a variety of guests who have experience of ADHD including Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder, comedian Johnny Vegas, and Loose Women panellist Nadia Sawalha.

I’m ADHD! No You’re Not is available on Spotify; click to listen to the trailer, and to follow/subscribe for the full series.

You can read more, including the ADH’D’ictionaryon the website designed to accompany the podcast, https://www.imadhdnoyourenot.com/.

Excellent! Listening to Mine made me realise that more people need to be informed about the neurological development of children and the power that love and nurture have!

Inspirational talk and excellent research from Mine. Mine was an excellent, clear speaker, she spoke with very little crutch words which made her a great talker and clear to understand throughout the talk. I learnt tremendous amounts of information and I will become a much better person from this talk. I have a lot of respect for you. There should be more people like you. You are my new role model!

Seminar Feedback

A FABULOUS addition to my bookshelf. Thanks for writing this book Mine. I’ve recommended it to all my students (who are scrambling to buy a copy). A long overdue look at childhood from an evidence-based neuroscience perspective, no pseudoscience, no hype, AND an enjoyable read. You’re my new hero!

Book Review: Sarah McKay, Neuroscientist, TEDx speaker, science communicator and Founder of The Neuroscience Academy

Thank you so much for your training on achieving trauma-informed practice. It was incredible, thought provoking, reflective and practice changing.

ALL childcare practitioners/parents – anyone in the wonderful position to be in contact with children NEED to be aware of Dr Mine Conkbayir, her insight and utter brilliance.

Working at Body & Soul, a childhood adversity charity, we see many people who have experienced significant trauma in their early lives. Mine’s research is crucial for understanding the effects of trauma and toxic stress on the brain, and sharing what can be done to transform these effects so that children and adults alike can thrive regardless of their past experiences. Great talk Mine!

A very engaging and informative presentation. Can’t wait to buy Mine’s book and have a good read of the theory and evidence, to relate it to my own practices. Highly recommend!
