Aroreretini (ADHD) update:
As of today, Dec 1, in QLD, GPs will be able to diagnose and prescribe stimulant medications for adults (18+).

For my patients, the implication is that when they leave school for good, and our paths part, i'm hoping that most of their GPs will be happy to continue providing medication management. Obviously some would benefit from ongoing specialist input.

But for many this will hopefully avoid the stress, lengthy waiting times and significant cost of having to see a psychiatrist to give the GP approval to prescribe.

I was privileged to meet Keri Opai at a conference in Queenstown recently. He gave a moving talk on, and is the creator of an amazing piece of evolving work: Te Reo Hāpai — The Language of Enrichment - a glossary of te reo Māori terms for use in the mental health, addiction and disability sectors.

“He mana tō te kupu” — “Words have great power” — a whakataukītanga kōrero (proverbial saying)

The concept is great. English medical, mental health terms etc are translated to language which is more meaningful for the Māori community. New language was created for some words which did not exist in Māori, such as:
‘Autism’ – Takiwātanga - 'my/his/her own time and space'

I particularly love the way they use language that does not emphasize deficit or disability.

Look out for my new friend in the office (seen in the photo below) – the Piwakawaka (or NZ fantail). This inquisitive and energetic friend is constantly on the move, from sunrise to sunset. It is not surprising therefore, that it symbolises another term close to my heart. ADHD, or better yet:
Aroreretini – ‘Attention goes to many things’😊
