About this episode
Adult ADHD diagnoses have skyrocketed, but rates can vary drastically depending on where you live. So what's going on?
And after AFL player Elijah Hollands experienced, what Carlton said is, a 'mental health episode' on the field last week, people are demanding answers. Did Carlton fail its duty of care? And are players getting adequate support?
Plus, gay and bisexual men and transgender people in long-term relationships can donate blood from today after changes to eligibility rules.
