Far-RW #ffagenda movements also use mental health gaslighting to pathologise normal, natural difficult emotional responses to harms that can result in #trauma injury - #PTMF, Power Threat Meaning Framework is a trauma-informed framework enables prevention (such as action as discussed) and healing

Channel 4's ‘The Great ADHD Myth?’ – The Experts Respond: TTR Special with Tom Rogers | Teachers Talk Radio
Following the broadcast of Channel 4’s controversial documentary The Great ADHD Myth?, Tom Rogers is joined by Naomi Fisher, Joanna Moncrieff, Lucy Johnstone and Philip Asherson to examine some of the programme’s biggest claims. Is ADHD best understood as a neurodevelopmental disorder? What does the evidence really tell us about differences in the brain? Are diagnoses rising because ADHD has historically been missed, or are ordinary behaviours increasingly being medicalised? And what should we make of the debate around medication, dopamine and the way ADHD is explained to children and adults? With guests bringing markedly different perspectives to the discussion, TTR again goes beyond the headlines to ask what the documentary got right, what it got wrong, and where the evidence on ADHD really stands.
