What is ADHD? Why does everyone experience ADHD differently?

Can you notice the signs of ADHD?

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects many adults, teens, and children. ADHD is unfortunately widely misunderstood. Many people downplay the seriousness of its symptoms or life effects, and some people may even believe the condition does not exist. Yet, ADHD is very real and can have significant effects on our personal, interpersonal, and occupational lives.

While ADHD brings enough challenges by itself, it is most common for people with ADHD to have one or more other mental health issues as well. Most commonly these include anxiety, depression, and anger, but other issues such as OCD, Tourette’s syndrome, and learning disabilities also frequently co-occur with ADHD. There are different sub-types of ADHD and individuals' experiences with ADHD can vary widely.

Difficulties with attention
Chronic lateness and time management issues
Impulsivity
Financial difficulties
Challenges with follow-through
Chronic stress and overwhelm
Relationship conflicts
Anger, anxiety, depression, and mood challenges
People-pleasing and rejection sensitivity (RSD)

How To Manage Life With ADHD

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to manage life in the context of ADHD. Medication is appropriate in many cases but individuals with ADHD still need to have a good understanding of how their unique brains and ADHD traits impact their lives and relationships.

ADHD awareness, skills training and ADHD-Informed Therapy can pave the way and provide individuals with specific ways to manage their time, stay organized and on task, and cope with difficult emotions, as well as other typical ADHD challenges.
