✨ Take part in a new study about masking in ADHD ✨

Researchers from Cardiff University are examining masking strategies used by young people with ADHD, their effectiveness in mitigating ADHD-related impact and the impact of engaging in these strategies.

They want to recruit participants aged 18-25 years old with an ADHD diagnosis to take part in an online survey to ask them about masking behaviours. They are especially interested in hearing from males or non-binary individuals.

A subset of participants who complete the survey, and consent, will be contacted to take part in a 1:1 interview to discuss their experiences of masking further.

This study has received a favourable ethical opinion by the Cardiff University School of Medicine Research Ethics Committee (SMREC 26/10).3.png

☀️ Hot weather and mental health medication ☀️

Did you know that some antidepressant and antipsychotic medications can affect your body’s ability to regulate temperature, making you more sensitive to heat?
These medications may alter sweating and increase the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and, in severe cases, heatstroke.

🌡️ Signs of heat exhaustion include:
• Feeling sick or being sick
• Excessive thirst
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Tiredness or weakness
• Excessive sweating
• High temperature
• Clammy skin or changes in skin colour
• Fast breathing or heartbeat
• Muscle cramps
• Confusion, irritability, or delirium

💦 Tips to stay safe during hot weather:
• Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated
• Avoid the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm)
• Wear loose, lightweight clothing
• Avoid strenuous exercise in high temperatures
• Limit alcohol intake
• Seek out cool, air-conditioned environments where possible
• Cool your wrists with cold water if you start to feel overheated

If you take medication for your mental health and are concerned about how hot weather may affect you, please contact the surgery for advice.
