Did you know having ADHD puts you at higher risk from experiencing burnout? The pressure to live up to other people's expectations, hyperfocused 'hangovers' and the struggle to set boundaries can cause extreme stress and lead to an intense version of burnout - known as ADHD burnout.

Sam and Katie speak to ADHD specialist and the founder of Nutritious Minds Trust charity, Dr Rachel Gow about how to spot ADHD burnout and what you can do to manage and avoid it.

Tickets for Rachel's upcoming event Burnout & Brain Health are available now.
