The Holistic ADHD Summit

Explore the many sides of ADHD at this new Glasgow summit. From the diagnosis process to practical strategies and how to manage ADHD symptoms.

Nearly three million people have been prescribed ADHD Medic*tion in the past two years, but for some, it can cause more challenges than it solves. Recent research shows the effectiveness of non-medical interventions in managing ADHD symptoms, emphasising the value of a more holistic approach.

⭐ It was amazing. It was really detailed and sensitive to the subject matter and the audience. I thought you delivered it with the perfect tone - between serious, jovial, critical and informative. -A. N.

⭐ Seed Talks is not only very educational, it's very casual and social. The talks are great for complete beginners and experts. I appreciate that they host them in bars and social spaces, so you can go alone, on a date or in large groups. - Sophie

⭐ Seed Talks have done an incredible job at making insanely cool topics easily digestible and enjoyable to learn about for one's self improvement. It's like Ted Talks, but cooler? And more accessible! - Eva W
