ADHD & Low Mood
ADHD and depression frequently co-exist, and ADHD itself is a known risk factor for developing depression and other mental illnesses. How do we tell the difference?
Hyperfocus and Hobbies
Hyperfocus is a common experience for ADHDers, and is why some people argue that ADHD is not an attention deficit, but instead an attention dysregulation – we can focus too little, but we can also focus too much.
ADHD and Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD)
When you have RSD, romantic heartbreak, minor arguments with friends, or even a text without a smiley at the end can all feel like being hit with a truck.
Excessive Talking and ADHD
Are you known for telling stories at a hundred-miles-an-hour? When is the amount you talk excessive, and how is it linked to ADHD?
Procrastination and ADHD
Always putting things off until the last minute? Everyone procrastinates, but ADHD procrastination is more extreme – you can’t “just do it”, even though you can see the impact on work, school and your relationships.
