ADHD
ADHD isn’t a bad thing, your brain just works differently.
The CDC estimates that more than 15.5 million adults have a current diagnosis of ADHD. Many individuals with ADHD face challenges in their daily lives, which can lead to feelings of shame and embarrassment due to their perceived inability to meet societal expectations. In clinical practice, it is essential to address these feelings while emphasizing the positive aspects of ADHD, such as the unique creativity and problem-solving abilities often associated with the condition. Treatment goals should focus on enhancing task performance through effective strategies tailored to the individual's needs, fostering a sense of self-acceptance, and actively working to diminish stigma around the diagnosis. By creating a supportive environment, we can help individuals with ADHD recognize their strengths and navigate challenges more effectively.
Therapeutic targets include:
Identify strengths to navigate challenges.
Identify specific treatment needs.
