If your social media feed has convinced you that everyone has ADHD, new data is offering a reality check.

Freshly released figures expose a hidden story: your diagnosis might depend more on your postcode, your paycheque, and whether there’s a doctor nearby rather than your actual symptoms.

Today, we’re joined by Dr Norman Swan to unpack the national prescription records, which state is such a massive outlier, and what it really costs to get an assessment in Australia’s mental healthcare system.

It has been seven weeks since the war involving the US, Israel, and Iran began, and while a fragile two-week ceasefire is currently in place, the world is holding its breath.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump threw a spanner in the works by announcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most critical energy corridor, after initial peace talks in Pakistan reached an impasse over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Today, we're unpacking what this escalation means for your bottom line. With global oil prices surging, Australian airlines have already begun hiking fares and cutting domestic flight capacity to manage soaring fuel bills.

Plus, we examine a historic breakthrough as Israel and Lebanon agree to their first direct negotiations in over 30 years.

Director of Research from the United States Studies Centre, Jared Mondschein, joins us to discuss whether these high-stakes diplomatic moves will lead to lasting stability or a global recession.

🗞️ HEADLINES

• Ceasefire between Israel & Lebanon could be on the horizon
• Trump claims Strait of Hormuz open
• New job figures expected to be early indication of Australia's economic health during war

• Harry & Meghan's tour down under continues for third day with speaking engagements, charity events and cultural walk

• Cannes Film Festival confirmed to be part of storyline in The White Lotus season 4 as filming commences
