ADHD & Therapy
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects an individual’s ability to focus, regulate emotions, initiate tasks, manage their time and control impulses. Although often diagnosed in childhood, its effects can continue into adulthood. This is common, and you’re not alone as you process the complex feelings that can come with it. There is a growing understanding of ADHD and its different and loss common presentations which sometimes lead to late diagnoses which can be difficult to process. Misunderstandings about ADHD can lead to unnecessary blame or shame, based on the incorrect belief that symptoms are simply a matter of willpower.
ADHD symptoms vary from person to person and can include challenges such as organizing tasks, frequent forgetfulness, restlessness, excessive talking, impulsive decision-making and more. These issues can impact daily life, relationships, and performance at school or work.
You can get support that is tailored towards your brain. If you have ADHD, it is so important to find a therapist who is educated and informed on how ADHD brains work so that they can provide the compassionate care that you need.
