Acronym Minds
Podcast Description
A podcast where we unpack the letters that shape our inner worlds. From ADHD to PTSD, OCD to ASD, we explore the acronyms behind mental health, neurodivergence and everyday life - not just what they mean, but what they feel like.
Replacing stigma with understanding, and labels with lived experience. Diving deep into the language, science, and stories behind the acronyms that often go unspoken.
