  • S4 Ep8: Mind the Kids: Depression Symptoms - Should Fatigue be in the Major League?

    S4 Ep8: Mind the Kids: Depression Symptoms - Should Fatigue be in the Major League?
    Dec 30 2025
    This episode ‘Depression Symptoms - Should Fatigue be in the Major League?’ extends well beyond clinical perspectives to offer a vivid, human portrayal of what fatigue truly means for young people experiencing depression. By the end of the episode, listeners gain a clear understanding of why fatigue is significant, the scientific revelations about its impact, and how young people themselves wish for their voices and struggles to be acknowledged—inviting reflection, debate, and a renewed commitment to innovation in youth mental health care.

    Dr Nina Higson-Sweeney joins Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb in an open, insightful discussion that blends lived experience with the latest research. The conversation encourages listeners to look beyond clichés—emphasising that fatigue is not simply ‘being tired’ but a profound, subjective exhaustion that rest does not alleviate, and which profoundly affects motivation, self-concept, and daily activities.

    Personal accounts reveal fatigue as both a physical and mental force—sometimes striking without warning, often unseen by others, yet disruptive to education, friendships, and self-esteem. Listeners learn how this ‘all-encompassing’ symptom can generate feelings of guilt and social isolation, exacerbated by misunderstandings from peers and even healthcare professionals. The episode adeptly explores the blurred distinctions between fatigue, tiredness, and executive function challenges such as procrastination, considering how depression complicates these concepts.

    The discussion further examines how current therapies address fatigue—whether they focus on general depression or also reduce fatigue as a distinct symptom. Nina’s research offers promising insights: whether through psychoeducation, cognitive behavioural therapy, or psychoanalytic methods, treating depression in adolescence can alleviate fatigue; however, more nuanced, targeted interventions may yield even better outcomes.

  • S5 Ep8: Mind the Kids - Therapy and Autism: Actions for Adaptions

    S5 Ep8: Mind the Kids - Therapy and Autism: Actions for Adaptions
    Dec 17 2025
    This Mind the Kids episode, ‘Therapy and Autism: Actions for Adaptations’, asks what does truly neurodiversity affirming therapy look like for autistic young people with co occurring mental health difficulties?

    Dr Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb are joined by clinician researcher Professor Francisco Musich to step inside the therapy room and examine how it actually feels for autistic children and adolescents with co occurring conditions to navigate CAMHS support.

    Across the conversation, they move beyond theory and guidelines to the lived details that make or break engagement: the speed and style of language, the sensory impact of the clinic environment, and how far therapists are willing to adapt around special interests, alternative media and different processing speeds.

    Along the way, they weigh personal clinical instincts against a still emerging evidence base, asking which accommodations genuinely improve outcomes and which might be comforting but ineffective, and what this means for designing neurodiversity affirming, research informed care.

    Professor Francisco Musich will be delving into this topic more in February 2026 at the ACAMH webinar - Autism and Co-occurring Conditions: Adapting Psychological Therapies https://www.acamh.org/event/autism-cooccurring-conditions/
