I'm ADHD! No You're Not

She's played one of TV's most beloved midwives for over a decade - but until now, nobody knew Helen George has ADHD.In this exclusive episode, the Call the Midwife star opens up for the very first time about her diagnosis, why she waited four years to start medication, the chaos of ADHD parenting, and what it's like masking while acting in one of the world's most watched dramas. Welcome back to I’m ADHD! No You’re Not.

In the final episode of series 4, Paul and Mine welcome the legendary Alison Moyet - the unmistakable voice behind Yazoo and one of the defining artists of the 80s alongside contemporaries like Depeche Mode - for a profoundly honest exploration of creativity, identity and neurodivergence. Alison reflects on growing up dyslexic in the 70s, feeling out of place, and discovering in later life that ADHD had been the invisible thread running through her childhood, her career, and even her early days emerging from the Essex electronic scene. She talks candidly about parenting neurodivergent children, navigating education systems that didn’t understand her, and how finally receiving an ADHD diagnosis helped her forgive decades of self-blame. Alison’s storytelling is warm, self-aware and richly human.

In this week’s episode, punk icon John Lydon (Johnny Rotten) joins the mayhem, bringing his razor-sharp wit, childhood stories of meningitis and memory loss, brutal nun-schooling, empathy, pain, humour, drugs, love, loss, and a lifetime of refusing to sit neatly in anyone’s box - especially not one labelled ADHD.  Part interview, part therapy session, and part verbal battle, this episode shows a side of John Lydon most people have never seen: tender, reflective, philosophical, and fiercely funny - even when he’s derailing every question Mine tries to ask. Never Mind the B*******, here’s the podcast.

This episode was released early on our Patreon England prop and World Cup champion Hannah Botterman joins Mine and Paul for an honest, hilarious dive into life as a neurodivergent athlete. From growing up in a rugby family to being kicked out of college, from “van-life” painting and decorating to unexpectedly earning her England caps, Hannah shares the chaotic, funny, and vulnerable moments that shaped her. She opens up about her late ADHD diagnosis, emotional dysregulation, the impact on relationships, and how medication and understanding coaches changed everything. Hannah also talks about the post–World Cup crash, knee-slide injuries, LGBTQ+ visibility in sport, and what she hopes for the future of women’s rugby.

We're on Patreon! In this illuminating conversation, Mine and Paul sit down with clinical psychologist and UCL researcher Dr. Josh Stott, the lead author behind the recent study that sparked national headlines when it contended that adults diagnosed with ADHD have a reduced life expectancy. Dr. Stott clarifies what the data actually says - and what it absolutely does not say - unpacking the nuances behind diagnosis rates, contributing lifestyle factors, smoking and mental-health risks, gender differences, and why the media’s interpretation missed the mark. The discussion travels widely: from the underdiagnosis of ADHD and autism (especially in women and older adults), to how exclusion and stigma shape later-life health outcomes and the misconceptions around medication. Blending humour with depth, the hosts and Dr. Stott explore the societal, clinical, and personal forces that shape the neurodivergent experience.
