Operation ADHD! with Dr Xand van Tulleken
Dr. Xand van Tulleken is a British doctor, broadcaster, and author, best known for co-hosting Operation Ouch!, a BAFTA-winning children's show about medicine, alongside his twin brother, Dr. Chris van Tulleken. He has presented numerous health documentaries and also written books on medicine, diet, and well-being, making complex health topics accessible to a wide audience.
While Dr. Xand hasn’t been tested for ADHD (yet!), Dr Mine and Paul were keen to get his thoughts on the subject - and, of course, because they’re massive Operation Ouch! superfans.
In this episode, they dive into the ADHD label, the challenges of insomnia, and how a tough school experience can shape adult life.
I'm ADHD! No You're Not
Join ADHDer, Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE and husband, the BAFTA award-winning comedy actor, Paul Whitehouse (Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, The Fast Show) as they explore ADHD with diverse celebrity ADHDer guests, professors and specialists in this brand new Podcast series.
Given the recent 'explosion’ in diagnoses, particularly within the world of comedy, Paul Whitehouse represents the archetypal sceptic. He’s there to challenge the very concept of ADHD. Dr. Mine provides theoretical and research insights, counter arguments and her own lived experience, creating a conversational and highly accessible space to explore this much misunderstood topic.
Each episode they’ll chat to a guest who’ll share their experience of ADHD, whether from the point of view of being diagnosed themselves, as a parent or a specialist in the field. Fellow ADHDer guests include Rory Bremner, Denise Welch, Gemma Styles, Dr Alex George, Shaparak Khorshandi, Shaun Ryder and many more.
