Did 'Because I Said So' Mess Us Up?

Remember hearing 'Because I said so' growing up? Turns out, that old-school authoritarian parenting style (all rules, no warmth) left a lot of us with anxiety and low self-esteem.

ADHD Waiting Lists Are a Hot Mess

ADHD waiting lists in England are totally jammed, and here’s why: tons of people are bouncing back to the NHS after private clinics can’t keep up with their care. Some private assessments don’t even meet official guidelines, and GPs are dropping shared care agreements, leaving patients in limbo (and sometimes with huge prescription bills). The NHS is overwhelmed, and the whole system is feeling the strain. It’s a mess for anyone needing ADHD help right now! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD

Wild new research says tough childhoods can literally speed up how women age—down to their DNA! Turns out, not all childhood struggles hit the same, and combos like family drama plus money stress are especially rough. The twist? This effect shows up way more in women than men. Even if you’re living healthy as an adult, those early years might still leave a mark. Proof that childhood stress is more than just a memory—it’s in your cells! #Health #BodyHealth #MentalHealth

ADHD Diagnosis Limbo Is Out of Control

Getting an ADHD diagnosis in the UK is a total maze. If you go private, the NHS might not accept it. If you stick with the NHS, you could be waiting years. The system is so broken that people are being bounced back and forth, with some waiting up to 10 years for help. It’s a mess—patients are stuck, GPs are confused, and families are left hanging. Something’s gotta give! #Health #MentalHealth #ADHD
