Dave Coghill

In this discussion, Dave Coghill, Chair of Developmental Mental Health at the University of Melbourne and President of the Australasian ADHD Professionals Association, dives into the contentious landscape of ADHD diagnoses in Australia. He tackles the surge in cases, especially among adult women, and addresses claims that ADHD has become 'trendy,' a notion he argues harms those genuinely affected. The conversation also highlights the stigma surrounding ADHD and underscores the urgent need for better support and advocacy for individuals struggling with the disorder.
