Living with ADHD can feel like you are running a marathon without reaching the finish line. You try so hard to remember the small details and stay on track. But your mind wanders away. And, even small tasks get derailed by distractions.
It can be frustrating and draining. It’s even worse when the rest of the world doesn’t understand. People see the missed appointments and cluttered desk, and think that you are “lazy.” When the truth is that you have been pushing yourself hard. This can mess with your head and make you feel “less than” everyone else.
So, what is ADHD? The truth is that ADHD can look different for everyone. Sometimes, it’s recognized in childhood when struggles to follow directions and sit still in class become noticeable. Other times, ADHD isn’t diagnosed until adulthood, when constant lateness and missed deadlines point to a deeper issue.
ADHD isn’t only about challenges. Many people with ADHD are creative problem solvers. They are enthusiastic and high-energy. Besides working on the difficult things, ADHD therapy can also help you realize your unique strengths.
Whether you’ve carried a diagnosis for years or are just starting to connect the dots, ADHD therapy can help make daily life more manageable. You’ll better understand how your brain actually works and how to make that work for you.
