This lively little Fantail | Piwakawaka, was trying to play hide and seek with us within the tangle of willow branches at Western Springs the other morning

A Rosella eating a globose heads off a Platanus tree one early morning at Western Springs a few weeks ago. I just loved how this little guy/gal held onto the globose head with one foot while eating it and they also managed to maintain their balance! 🪶🇳🇿 #birds #photography

Yup I read it as that. There is quite a lot of cross over between the two conditions. Hyperactivity can look like a high energy episode and adhd depression can look like a depressed bipolar episode too😊

👍 yup for me: lack of dopamine/serotonin means I battled depression for 32 years. Put me on meds for ADHD and I started to come right. My difficulty with rumination reduced in the following months with medication and talk therapy. Antidepressants did not help at all. Tried a lot of different ones
