ADULT ADHD​
Picture
    Common Misconceptions about ADHD:   Some common misconceptions about Adult ADHD are that you should “just try harder,” "not be so lazy," ​    “be more motivated” or “try to live up  to your potential” or that ADHD    is a ​    "made up" diagnosis.   

    ADHD symptoms:    Symptoms of ADHD, distraction, impulsivity, difficulty ​    with organization, time management ,  and follow-through can affect      your ​    quality of life.   You may develop negative feelings about yourself, that can    be reinforced by others' misconceptions about ADHD and the negative ​    messages you may get from them.

    ADHD Diagnosis:   Everyone has experienced some symptoms of ADHD.      Everyone has been distracted.  Many people have problems with ​disorganization.   But to have    a diagnosis of Adult ADHD,    symptoms must cause  significant difficulties at school or work, in relationships, or in social settings.
 

    Coping Skills:   You may have developed coping skills to help you deal with the challenges of ADHD.  But when faced with
     increased   pressures, such as starti
ng college, getting a new job or another significant life change, sometimes the 
   skills  
  worked in the   past may no longer be enough.

    Develop New Skills with Effective Counseling:   ​If you have been diagnosed with, or suspect that you may have
    ADHD,     please 
   contact    me with any questions you may have and to explore whether therapy may be help
     you   
 feel more in control    and     able to deal     with current challenges.
