Channel 4 has commissioned single documentary, Do You Have ADHD? (1 x 60), from Plum Pictures.
The programme, fronted by NHS surgeon and health writer Dr Karan Rajan and former GP and nutrition expert Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, will “separate fact from fiction on what the traits of ADHD might look like, and share with viewers creative advice for living with an ADHD brain.”
Dr Karan will explore the complexities of the condition, the challenges faced by those waiting for formal diagnosis, and talk to experts in neurodiversity along with those living their lives post-diagnosis.
Do You Have ADHD? (1 x 60) is commissioned for Channel 4 by Deborah Dunnett, Commissiong Editor for Lifestyle, with Jo Street, Head of Lifestyle and Director of Commissioning, Nations & Regions. Executive Producer is Plum’s Head of Factual, Gill Wilson, and Producer/Director is Daniel Fildes.
Channel 4’s Deborah Dunnett comments: “It feels like everyone is talking about ADHD, and chances are most of us will either know somebody with ADHD or be living with the condition ourselves. But with so much unverified and negative information swirling, it’s becoming harder for people to advocate for themselves and find the support they need. We hope to demystify the diagnosis process and empower viewers to know their own minds.”
Plum Pictures’ Gill Wilson adds: “We are really proud of this film and its potential to have long-lasting reassurance to viewers at home and their loved ones. We thank Karan, Clare, our experts and all our contributors for sharing their experiences and knowledge to hopefully make a difference to others.”
Do You Have ADHD? will TX on Channel 4 this summer.
