Turning of the seasons: all you need to know about SAD

It is getting colder in the UK, and autumn steadily approaches on the winds from the east. Around this time of year, many might start to feel their good spirits decline, retreating into their rooms and no longer wishing to engage with the world. While that may be suitable for bears during hibernation, this shouldn’t be for humans, so if this is a yearly pattern of behaviour for you, you may be exhibiting signs of seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

High-functioning ADHD in the workplace

High-functioning ADHD is a lesser-known yet increasingly recognised subset of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder where individuals achieve significant success in their professional lives, often without major disruptions from their symptoms.

Individuals with this type of ADHD often develop effective coping mechanisms that mask their struggles from the outside world. They excel in dynamic environments that match their energy and creativity, yet they may grapple with hidden challenges that affect their mental health and job performance.

Understanding the signs of Austism Spectrum Disorder in children

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurological condition that primarily manifests through difficulties in socialisation, communication, and interpersonal abilities. It can be difficult to identify, and there is a lot of misconception about what the condition entails.
