Inside Our ADHD Minds
Chris helps a tour guide with ADHD reveal to his parents what’s really going on inside his head, and a council worker come to terms with the mixed emotions of a late diagnosis.
One in seven people have brains that work differently, and more people are being diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia and autism than ever before. But neurodivergent people are more likely to experience depression, anxiety and even suicidal thoughts. Chris Packham believes this is a hidden crisis and wants to help neurodivergent people explain what’s going on inside their minds. And he’s starting with ADHD.
It’s thought that one in 20 people has ADHD, but Chris still feels that the condition remains misunderstood. He meets two people frustrated that that the people in their lives don’t fully understand what having ADHD means to them. Teaming up with top filmmakers, animators and graphic designers, they create evocative short films which explain to family and friends how they’re truly feeling inside - and what’s really going on inside their ADHD minds.
