It's a disorder that affects your nervous system and can impact many aspects of your life, including impulse control, emotional regulation, judgment, sleep, and memory.
Living with ADHD can feel like you're unable to synchronize your mind and body with your surroundings. This might mean struggling to calm down in low-stimulation environments or having difficulty focusing in situations that require more mental effort. ADHD can also manifest as challenges in making positive decisions, controlling emotions, and remembering important tasks. It's common for individuals with ADHD to experience feelings of shame or frustration, thinking they should be able to perform better but finding themselves unable to.
If medication is part of your treatment plan, we ensure that it's coupled with therapeutic support and/or executive function coaching. This combination helps optimize the medication's effectiveness and teaches you valuable executive functioning skills to better manage ADHD symptoms.
