've had a lovely cruise! Welcome back to my column... any long time readers will know I was diagnosed with ADHD a few years ago, at the age of 37.

Mental health is healthcare, why isn't ADHD treated the same way?

Thanks to my wonderful ADHD, I forgot to take my medication on our cruise, and I went cold turkey for two weeks. That meant I didn't sleep through one night, I constantly wake up, and on Sunday, I woke at 3am, and couldn't get back to sleep. That is one sign of many that my ADHD is out of control.

Since my return, I began medication again, and I'm sleeping through. Yay!

A lovely friend of mine has been going through the process of ADHD diagnosis, and frankly, the system is appalling.
