Sometimes it’s hard for people to recognize what ADHD actually looks like day-to-day. The points I mention in this video are examples of how we might see the symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity manifest in real life. Like any mental health issue, the diagnosis of ADHD can be complex. Unfortunately, you can’t just use a list like this to decide whether or not you have ADHD. People who do not have ADHD can still have these things happen sometimes. And not everyone with ADHD wil

This is a very unhelpful response some parents have to seeing their kids struggle with their mental health. If your kid opens up to you about their mental health struggles, try not to make it about you. Avoid using guilt in an attempt to motivate or manipulate your child into feeling better or acting differently. It won’t work and will likely just make them feel even more guilty and alone. Remember, you can be the world’s best parent and your kid may still struggle with their mental health. But

Catastrophic thinking is a common mental shortcut we take as humans. It often amps up even more in the context of anxiety and depression. This is one of many ways I try to challenge this thinking pattern for myself. It’s not perfect, but I think over time, with practice, we can help our brains think a little differently.

People with ADHD are more likely to have trouble with sensory processing in general, but auditory processing issues are especially common. People with auditory processing issues don’t have any problem with their ability to hear. But things start to break down once the sound goes from ear to brain. That means that even though we may physically hear what someone says, it may take us a while to actually process and understand it. Studies have shown that people with ADHD are more likely to have trou

Reply to @thedogmothersays these symptoms can be found in other disorders too, so always best to see your doc if you’re worried #mentalhealth
